Animal Collective – Unsolved Mysteries Lyrics 15 years ago
on one level, i could see this being about jack the ripper, a radical envisioning of his emotional landscape. as others have said, the lyrics show a transition from the relative innocence of childhood to the darkness and hysteria of adulthood.

"But I feel like I've just been born
When you look at me with your green eyes
When you look at me with your black eyes
When you look at me with your dead eyes

And I can't understand when holding her hand
So womanly, I have to go kiss her
And what a surprise to look in those eyes
To find suddenly, he is Jack the Ripper
Too suddenly, he was Jack the Ripper
There he goes..."

as i see it, this reflects the moment after jack has murdered a female victim (his displaced mother). life is represented as the color flowing from her eyes. he goes to kiss the corpse and as he pulls away, he sees his own image reflected in her lifeless eyes, realizing now that he is a monster, no longer "me" or "I" but "he," infamous serial killer.

instead of "she's too good to share our favorite things" i think it's "it'd sure feel good to share our favorite things"

i hold the hand
that beckoned me

i know my place
without a face

Deerhunter – Never Stops Lyrics 16 years ago
another interpretation:

i had dreams
that frightened me awake
i happened to escape
but my escape
would never call

i had plans
to go away for days
to try and escape paint
that haunts my days

winter, in my heart
it never stops

oh winter

it never stops
