| Elliott Smith – Shooting Star Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I know someone just like this who left me the same way. It's about a girl who sleeps around a lot, and yet the people, or at least some of the people she sleeps with end up getting attached to her. I guess Elliott would be one of them, and so would I -- unfortunately none of them can have a real relationship with her. When he says, "Your love is sad," that means that the promiscuous sex she has in place of actual "love" is sad. It's sad that she can't experience an emotional connection, and has to replace it with fleeting physical contact. |

It should be "Wednesday they covered the *crash*", but I still have no idea what the second 'prediction' is. It isn't "bad," that's for sure (that's why I looked these lyrics up in the first place). considering the rest of the chorus, it's probably something news-related (storm, ____, crash), but I just cannot understand what he's singing. Btw, I think the first line of the chorus is "*a* storm," not "the storm," and it sounds like the third line might be "covered," not "cover" (although that would go out of thense with the other two). |

maybe he does.. hm, I might be wrong. btw, you should try to find the lyric booklet from Fast Cars, Danger, Fire and Knives (the original release) -- it's got the correct lyrics for his first five CD's (excluding Appleseed and MFE). definitely worth the search (I found it at the Virgin Megastore). |

yeah, he did. it's pronounced "Antih-this-is", not "An-tie-thee-sis." I think Canibus pronounced it wrong on Poet Laureate II, or maybe it was another word. but stil a great song, oddly comforting despite its subject matter |

| btw I can't take credit for these lyrics.. I found them on another site, just like the ones for Catacomb Kids (those lyrics I fixed up quite a lot, though), but I wanted them to be on songmeanings | |
| Aesop Rock – Keep Off the Lawn Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| This might be my favorite song off None Shall Pass. The lyrics are so poetic and biting, and I hope my inevitable mid-life crisis won't be half as bad as the one here.. phobias/insecurities really can take a life of their own | |

Great rhythm in this song, and lyrics are really some of his best. "Now it’s rest in peace Wes Petersons whose heater sung disturbingly to further reevaluate your beast of burden’s urgency." Not only sick as hell in the lyrical standpoint, the fact that he could rap all this in the space of one or two bars? Crazy. That's some R.A. the Rugged Man type stuff |

| Radiohead – Jigsaw Falling into Place Lyrics | 18 years ago |

At first he's talking about a great date: "Just as you take my hand, just as you write your number down," etc., maybe he met this woman tonight, and it's still exciting to him. But as they start drinking and dancing, he realizes that she's had too much and I'm guessing the Chesire cat grin was her trying to get him into bed. At this point, either he refuses, and she goes running off into the danceclub screaming "animal noises," or, as my first thought was, the animal noises signified sex, and then comatose would make sense and in the morning she leaves him, probably not having remembered any of it, and the "noise" might be her racing thoughts or maybe a hangover. If they didn't have sex, "I never really got there, I just pretended that I had" might be him telling people that they did, and then the words were as damamging as a sawed off shotgun. If they did, maybe he said something like I love you and he never actually did, and those words hurt him or her. But if they never did come together, then I suppose theyd still be dancing and she'd be making a fool out of herself in the second to last stanza. If not, that's a more metaphorical passage. The last one speaks for itself, though, as the jigsaws fal into place, and they walk past each other, maybe wishing it went better but knowing that, as a couple, they just didn't fit. Whew. |

| this is a strange lyrical style for radiohead, more of a narrative than their usual stuff.. | |
