Neutral Milk Hotel – Everything Is Lyrics 19 years ago
I think the line 'it's fading' is in refence to fear. The line right befre it is about fear so it's logical to assueme that. Then again this is NMH, so logic doesn't really need to apply if he doesn't want it to. But everything else here is about being happy, night falling into dust and its day again, etc.

I do however, think it's odd that on the 1993 demo, not the EP, this song is followed by an early version of April 8th, cos that songs so depressing and everything is is very happy.

Neutral Milk Hotel – Candy Coated Dream Lyrics 19 years ago
Well he's obviously dealing with some sort of aleiniation from his family, but he wants to hang one.

and will you hang up high
a family portrait smile
...
this figure i will frame
a life without a name
but this thought i proclaim
i'm just romancing now
I'm only chancing now

So he's hanging up a family photo thats really empty and meaningless to him, but he is taking the chance to romanitize his fmaily life that isn't there.

The solo at the end is so happy and uplifting while the lirics end on what feelings to me to be a minor note, it's very uplifting.

Neutral Milk Hotel – Naomi Lyrics 19 years ago
Ok let's look at the parrellism *sp* here. In the second verse the angels hold her down until she cries while in the last verse the role is different and the angels are liberating her and saving her soul. I really donno how that changes, or what it personifies, any ideas?
