An Angle – Did You, Did You, Did You Lyrics 18 years ago
the sun had bleached you blonde

i know i'm gonna need these red coats where i'm from

chris:and i've met your boyfriends
girl: and i've met your girlfriends
and frankly won't you pretend that they don't exsist


and there's some 'just' missing from the question part.

An Angle – Unnoticeable Lyrics 18 years ago
mistakes in the lyrics
i'll just rewrite them because there's a mistake in almost every stanza. or whatever you call it.


they're unnoticable in this tiny town
where the sun was at it's most volume
the women would paint themselves in dresses
while the men all waved their tongues

people would stop by shopping malls needing the change
or at least a cool breeze
i guess we're all just trying to feed off our own simple skin

a new type of voice
it looks like we just all need more vitamins
like nothing would ever be good enough for you
you can always feature yourself on the side of the store almost like mannequins as they stare in horrific horror

as you are some stranger
as you are you fool
nothing more than this clown to them
you could never hide your hair in this cool conditioned room

they petrified their eyes with the same look, the same smell
why can't they just pick and choose to see whats best
someone like you my boy
or someone like you my girl
but this is growing up
i guess i was just being youthful

so stare at your lover, you will never know
at your lover you will never have
'cause we're just all whispers in this crowded state


it's sad that the last sentence was messed up. it makes the entire song what it is. one of the best lyrical sentences i've ever heard.

An Angle – Self Medicate Lyrics 18 years ago
well there are some mistakes to these lyrics anyhow.

you see i've been *drowning* in love and not focusing on my life


and *they* ask why *are you* doing this boy when there's so much more to prove

and i think we'd be very *cute* if you know, if you just let me hold you and then we could spell out the truth

so if i told you i found another lover, well you know, just this once it was right after you ran to his art warehouse

and we were dancing *and* drinking downtown

and i collapsed into the gutter of Kaye St., that's when i knew *mistakes were beauty* and i found you more than incomplete

when you're constantly wrapped in *men's* sheets

so i am the ugliest thing that could ever grow up to be of some kind of *beauty*, and *do* you know how perfect we could be?

An Angle – For Every Day Brought Up This One Lyrics 18 years ago
there are some simple mistakes and then there are some definite mistakes that throw off the meaning of the song

and no we never took a towel to those days where our *parents* were covered in dirt
no, we just filled it into *cups* so that we may pass it to hand and hand

and these chemicals and liqour help my *self* structure

and we threw up our words in hysterical laughter *that* when we spoke our stomachs became untied *into* french knots, so we would just be gasping for air while tears *suddenly poured* with joy *that it made me stand* and collapse by your *world* so that i may shake this *house* with our love


but i see the mistakes and they do sound really really close in the song, but these are the official lyrics of the band.




as for the meaning: we start off with chris (the singer) in a place of familiarity, probably his old house because he's talking about the fountain of rememberance where "we washed our faces clean" (indicating his face is dirty with the dirt) and he wouldn't wipe away those memories where his parents were covered in the same dirt (this paints a picture of his parents sometime when they were young once too) and this "dirt" was filled up into cups that has passed down through the ages of generations of family members, and "we (family members) devoured (drank from the cup) once again"
this means that as much as kids try to fight it, the simple fact is you do become some mirror form of your parents. they are inside you and it will continue to pass on and on and on, that "we will devour ourselves once again".

"well i met my laughter just yesturday" - he's comfortable now that he accepts this revelation. he's drinking, doing drugs, blah blah blah (nothing new for any fan who knows exactly what chris and the band members like to do in their spare time) and there's this sense of a different family he has with him at this time, his friends most likely and they're there together, drunk off their ass sharing a moment. and he wants to shake the house with the 'familiar' love.

Midlake – some of them were superstitious Lyrics 18 years ago
this song seems more like a story like the majority of the songs they write. and like they're other songs this one feels like it's from some time long long ago in a history no one remembers.

i think there's no real message. it's a story about someone who doesn't fit in with the rest of the village because he doesn't believe in their superstitions. and if you're good with history that's what alot of people were all about back then...just superstitions ruled by thousands of different versions of religions seperate villages had for themselves(and i have this weird distinct feeling this all takes place somewhere in europe). but here we have a man (or woman) who doesn't believe in the ridiculous superstitions, in this case one of them was the coming of winter. he preferred the bright rays of the sun to the dead cold of winter, and who wouldn't? but still, the rule over the village was winter is what's right, what's might, and they were "praising while cold simply 'cause they don't know better".

also there were alot of caravans of nomads traveling this way and that all through towns and villages and the last stanza brings light to someone the man takes an interest to. but he knows they will probably never meet again because people rarely left the village in which they lived. and then that someone is gone and hurts.

it's the same old story of someone who wants to believe what he wants to believe, what he thinks is sensible. he wants to hold the reigns over his own life and break the mold. but there is no contempt in this song...it's just the way things are and people accepted it.
