Stars – Your Ex-Lover Is Dead Lyrics 17 years ago
Just my interpretation.
the song also has very strong comparisons to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

"God, that was strange to see you again
"Introduced by a friend of a friend"
--Met unexpectedly somewhere

"Smiled and said, "Yes, I think we've met before"
In that instant it started to pour"
--She recognizes him and indicated that the have indeed met before. It begins to rain.

"Captured a taxi despite all the rain
We drove in silence across Pont Champlain
And all of that time you thought I was sad
I was trying to remember your name"
-It's raining, they decided to share a taxi, He looks a bit sad, so she ask him, he responds " I was just trying to remember your name.

"This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin"
--Now fast forward and they have had a relationship, she has had bad relationships in the past and has trust issues.

"You tried to reach deep but you never got in"
--He tries to help her, yet he just can not even get close enough to her to do it.

"And now you're outside me, you see all the beauty
Repent all your sin"
--Now that it's over he sees that he could have never have helped her and is sorry he even tried.

"Nothing but time and a face that you'll lose"
--That all they wasted was time on her and that he'll soon forget her anyway.

"I chose to feel it and you couldn't choose"
--Since both singers are singing, I feel it has two meanings, She chose to be be difficult, and he couldn't choose if he could put up with it and maintain the relationship or move on. He choose to try to help her and she couldn't choose to let him in maintain her protective walls.

"I'll write you a postcard, I'll send you the news
From the house down the road from real love"
--That they can still be friends, and when they catch up they tell each other how the moved on and found new lovers.

"Live through this and you won't look back
Live through this and you won't look back
Live through this and you won't look back"
--That at the time that there breaking up, it seems so painful and yet when it is over they will have both moved on and never remember this.


"There's one thing I have to say so I'll be brave
You were what I wanted
I gave what I gave
I'm not sorry I met you
I'm not sorry it's over
I'm not sorry there's nothing to save
I'm not sorry there's nothing to save"
--Both confesses that they both need each other at that time in there life, and they both offered what they could to the relationship at the time. Both neither sorry that they met, or dated, or even loved each other, but they are also not sorry it ended they way it did, cause they grew from it.

Beirut – Elephant Gun Lyrics 17 years ago
I feel confident that these are the correct lyrics.
but any other suggestions or clarifications are more then welcome.

If I was young, I'd flee this town
I'd bury my dreams underground
As did I, we drink to die, we drink tonight

Far from home, elephant gun
Let's take them down one by one
We'll lay it down, it's not been found, it's not around

Let the seasons begin - When love was right nor wrong
Let the seasons begin - take the big game down

Let the seasons begin - When love was right nor wrong
Let the seasons begin - take the big game down

And it rips through the silence of our camp at night
And it rips through the night, all night, all night

And it rips through the silence of our camp at night
And it rips through the silence, all that is left is all that I hide.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Maps Lyrics 17 years ago
She has dedicated this song to the lead singer of the Liars, I think it's him leaving for tour and she wants him to stay,
"They don't love like i love you"
is referring to her saying the fans don't love you I love you, so don't go on tour
"My Kind Is Your Kind"
Both musicians,
"I'll stay the same"
means when he comes back, she will still be the same girl that he left.
and Maps i think is pretty self explanatory, it's the maps he will use while on tour.

This song is actually a poem found in collection of poems called Japanese Peasant Songs. Anathallo did a beautiful job with it, it's my favorite off Floating World.

Beirut – Elephant Gun Lyrics 17 years ago
I'm thinking the lyric "Take The Big King Down," is incorrect and says "Take The Big Game Down," which would also add to the songs title Elephant Gun which in fact is used to take big game down such as tigers and elephants when hunting exotic big game was legal and the sport of the rich.
But Personally I think it's a song about a man who is old now, and stuck in this town, and wishes he left when he was young to go hunting in the wilds of some far off country, or that could be a metaphor for leaving and just experiencing the world, I get images of British Ruled India,

It's a very lovely song.
