| The Flaming Lips – The Abandoned Hospital Ship Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I personally see this song being about a breakup/moving on/finding someone else. The first part "Well, it took some time Because it's a lot God, it's a bunch It's such a big, old, black golden buzz" Meaning they've been together so long that it took a long time to recover from it. The next part "And yeah, it took some help With lots of machines The experts could tell With their equipment pushed to the max" He turns to whatever source of help 'machines' are, whether it be drugs or friends or whatever. "And sure it seems easy now But I tell you what We were perplexed finding the needle In the needle's disguise" Looking back on it he can see how much was wrong with his partner, but at the time it was so hard to find faults in what he saw as the perfect person (needle's disguise). "And now that it's conceived The station has all settled down And I'm sort of relieved And I'm getting over it now " Now it's officially done, and he is sort of relieved but still recovering. Beautiful song either way. I just had a semi-breakup and so of course I see every song like this, but it sounds right to me. |

| Smog – Feather by Feather Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| This speaks to me so much. My girlfriend has been drinking recently and this fits so well. Losing your wings slowly, as in you are just getting worse, and revelations (cloudbursts) are getting less frequent. | |

I'm positive it's actually: "I've never hung a darkie, but i've fed one" It fits in better with the rest of the theme of the song, which I'm pretty sure is saying how people enforce stereotypes and exert their made up authority over someone else to make them feel more important or special, and that he considers himself one of the few people who work hard and dont' do those sorts of things. |

| Sounds like he just got done reading Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut, and kryptic basically got the main idea of the book for the most part. | |
