| @[radio_chin:40897] the line "And Borrower of handsome trivia..." is for you then. Pretty sure that line alludes to the Lou Reed reference in the following line. | |
| Sonic Youth – I Love You Golden Blue Lyrics | 4 years ago |
| I think on some level at least this is about Kim's brother who tragically slid into schizophrenia. The lyrics just speak to me about someone that cares deeply and wants to understand the boy but can't really communicate with him anymore. "Is it time to go?" just rings as something you say when visiting a loved one who might be institutionalized. I don't know if her brother Keller has golden hair and blue eyes, but his sister does... | |
| Concrete Blonde – Caroline Lyrics | 15 years ago |

...This is very similar to my interpretation. Not that the relationship between the narrator and Caroline matters much but the narrator was trying to help Caroline in some matter. I think Caroline starts getting uncomfortable feelings because all she's used to are people mistreating her. I think because the narrator keeps referring to the other "she" that saw Caroline in the store and helped her pick up her "trunk" she kept her life in I always pictured Caroline as a distraught child or runaway. I get a mother-child relationship picture more from the powerful way Johnette sings the song more than any lyric related basis I suppose. Caroline is obviously loved by the narrator whether it be mother-child, friend-friend or star crossed lovers. Like any good songwriter Johnette leaves it open-ended enough to apply the emotions to any similar relationship you've had no matter the context or whether the person was female or whether you are or not as well. Powerful song (like all of Napolitano's work) :) |

| Tool – Eulogy Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Folks, Jesus died a long time ago. Move on. It's a report on how silly it is to even think that way. Embrace your own mortality and Carpe Diem for a lack of a better way to put it. Make your own claim. Whatever it is. Do not beleive in false idols. I think the bible humans wrote is even smart enough to include that. Jesus is one of them. Move forward. Produce your thoughts onto the world. Be a giver not a taker on many levels. Jesus died for your sins, cool, so now what? You wanna cookie? Go live. Go be. And my thoughts about the song...stop worrying about some martyr that did whatever some time ago and we wrote it down and recognize. You're in balance everyday of your life. Not cause it's a "what would jesus do" scenario b/c you are. If not by God by yourself. Hold youself upright and look around and act like you know what you're doing. Be amazed you're still alive. | |
