| Eels – Last Stop: This Town Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
There is a live version on youtube where the first line of the chorus is sung by the bassist, and the second line is by the drummer, the magnificent (and sadly missed) Butch. 'Cause they don't know how to let you in and I can't let you out... ...is a great line and it could well be about suburban isolation. But overall, the live dearly bereft person trying to fly away with the dead person because life is too lonely and sad without them sums it up to me. |

I think the chorus lyric is "if you need it friend". Also "the cops caught him in the guts" makes a lot more sense. |

| Sigur Rós – Illgresi Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
For those that can't be bothered following the link: You sleep till noon You die but come to life The leaves change their colors You ache - get up and dress In a raincoat - you keep going into the bleak days You tear out heart-roots that you stamp on With your hands in your pockets, been through enough Walking in wet grass until It shines on me through the branches I look up and revive - the leaves change their colors We find our goals, put down roots Undress and our hearts We go out into a good day We plant and we give life and we blossom With our hands out of the pockets in earth you delve Now we remove ugly thoughts Time heals all, gives life, kindles fires Burns souls No longer cold, alive again My soul comes to life, paints the world A(nother) lovely song. |

I agree is a love song, but to me it's about God and creation, rather than a boy/girl thing. Hence, 'breathless' is both the breathlessness brought about by being in love and a literal lack of breath. Fav bit is the "juddering bones" - nice. |
