Big Boi – Back Up Plan Lyrics 15 years ago
The reason I want avoid using the word "love": In my opinion/experience, love is basically logic.

No one likes pain - unless they choose to explore that realm of existence in a measured fashion (in which case, agreements and plans will/should be made).

Big Boi – Back Up Plan Lyrics 15 years ago
My short interpretation of the song: Everybody needs "love". If we stop trying to play games/trick each other - and commit ourselves to doing the right thing - we will all receive the "love" we need.


* Momma fell heel over head, then said you was the one (one, one)

* My nigga, what was I to do...?

* Go find somebody else(!).

* I was young, full of cum, down for the "skeet skeet" - not dumb.

* We would meet up the skreet# (street), be discrete.

* I was hooked on that# box like the hot Krispy Kremes#

* Well, it didn't take long for me to game peep#

* It was week after week, I was seeking# the same freak

* I'd be damned if we'd be# posing for pictures and throwing rice

* Baby# throwing up in Vegas while Daddy's on the dice

* I might (might) just put you on the chopping block tonight (night)

* Act right;# you can get my second string spotlight.

* Yeah, got the latex gloves# for the fit.

* 'Cause# she trying to +trick Daddy+, Slip-N-Slide on his# dick!

* You are not The One#, you are not The One#.

(The Matrix.)

* You can be my "too"#, you can be my "number" too#.

( http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/number

23. (Informal) person; individual: "the attractive number standing at the bar."


Or, it might mean that although she's not Neo - so to speak - he'd definitely like to... share an experience with her, and would be grateful for their meeting.)


* And one and one, everybody have fun.

(I take the "And 1, and 2" to be basketball metaphors. Call foul when you should, but have fun. If it's a serious foul, you get two shots - "a fair solution to whatever issue", in other words.)

(The phrase being scratched sounds like "Boo, you ain't the first or the last")

Silversun Pickups – Future Foe Scenarios Lyrics 17 years ago
"the things we laid do not amount to much
made up of thought balloons and cotton swabs"

I think it goes like this:

the things we laid/lead do not amount to much
made up of thought balloons and content swaps

when fire starts to matter and the clock's still churning
cliches and other chatter keeps our minds from
learning/living
our minds keep looming

Aesop Rock – No Splash Lyrics 18 years ago
We all know what a halo is
But we all don't know the horrors if your halo tips
I be the matador making your pretty little heels click
I be the Sword in the Stone of the contemporary eclipse
I'm incredibly exhausted
You can't imagine, got my warm spirit stuck in my teeth, I'm obsolete
Freedom freedom freedom fighter beginning
For the sake of better demeanor and such to bust (rap about), fuckin fantastic
Every little step she take breaks the chambers in your chest,
Enveloped in the abomidable trouble
Subtle for a cruel second, lied for an hour
Screamin 'til it peaks, and then my whole weekend turns sour
I ain't been around the world but I been around the block
I ain't seen everything but I seen enough to talk
I ain't a prophet, I ain't the Second Coming of Christ
I'm just a mason with a will to build and a little advice
I wanna weave a web, I bought a set of knitting needles
Fiddlin' with a theme/dream, silent
Pat on the hole in bottom divy to where the portraits astonish
["A hidden place with wonderful things inside" is my closest interpretation]
You won't regret a single solitary step, I promise
Look, in a situation where a dragon guards the gate
I make a true spur of the moment grown decision
Which, in turn, allows me to be something normal
With the prefix of the "ab-"
And I can kill every monster if I gotta, that's that
Rockin it, rockin it, clippership rockin it
Be the little guinea pig, dig?
I'm tryin to make an exit with no ripples in the water
No splash, let the poison slide down down the hatch
It's like that

Aesop Rock – No Splash Lyrics 18 years ago
In January, I fell to the cobblestone
In April, I cut little paper flowers
In August, I drank cold tea on my lonesome
In October, I was introduced to "scour"
I love New York Saturdays
But Mondays last longer
And since I plan to live a long life
Maybe I'll surf a thousand Mondays and swallow the burn
To ???? the week for all its got to get
My shoddy rotten ribs stick, forgot my ribs
I got a lil' something called a spirit crisis on my skull
And it's nothing short of ferocious but I swallowed the dosage
I got a mantle, on the mantle is a candle
On the candle is a flame that burns to symbolize the day Gretel met Hansel
Then I settle in a stand still
I live forever reaching for the sun
Hoping some lucky day I'll clutch and get a hand full
Rope ladder, I'm a swinging anvil
And I wanna turn skullies and tummies with pretty lullabye, bye
The way my gypsy dances makes a monster retreat to fetal
I never felt so damn young
But you don't look a day over zero
And you don't look a day in the times cuz it'll make you realize
The night is near so,
In a code: "dream",
I clean around the edges
I tidy up the tabletop, and lectured all the pledges
I never really knew the true definition of precious
Till my angel wit the beautiful red locks gave me the message
I'm a fully animated life tree
See the root of the mute button was dug up bug up on a song
Of "I'm a fully animated life tree
With branches for the heavens to admire naturally"

Hooverphonic – Inhaler Lyrics 18 years ago
Or, since this song is full of poetic devices and such, perhaps it works both ways. "Take it in" ("be an inhaler") would only be good advice if "it" were something beneficial. Beneficial things can be combined into an ultimate or maximum combination.

Death Cab for Cutie – Company Calls Epilogue Lyrics 18 years ago
I always thought "the white/"right" routine" meant that people had the proper intentions but never executed them fully. Like, they knew what to go for but not how to accomplish it. You mark the day and the occasion, you're marry and happy - but which parts are unnecessary?

What is marriage? What is monogamy? Etc

Just like with a medicinal routine/schedule - you can't take all the antibiotics up front to get the fastest cure. You might suffer poisoning or some other severe imbalance. Rather, you follow the schedule - which is designed around the system it's funtioning in (your body), and it goes better.

Death Cab for Cutie – Company Calls Epilogue Lyrics 18 years ago
Synapse to synapse: the possibility's thin
I'm dressed up for free drinks and family greetings
On your wedding, your wedding, your wedding day
The figures in plastic on the wedding cake
That I took. "You're so weird"

And I kept a distance - the complications cloud
Through postcards and lips, through fiberoptics
As the girls with pigtails
Were running from little boys wearing bowties
Their parents bought them. "I'll catch you this time!"

Crashing through the parlor doors
What was your first reaction?
Screaming, drunk, disorderly.
I'll tell you mine:
You were the one
But I can't spit it out when the date's been set.
The white ("right") routine. To be ingested inaccurately.

Synapse to synapse: the sneaky kids had attached
Beer cans to the bumper so they could drive
Up and down the main drag.
People would turn to see who's making the racket.
It's not the first time.

I think it's that too, if not only.
