Heatmiser – Blackout Lyrics 16 years ago
I definitely agree with your interps here is the whole thing as I hear it:


asking, permission didn't I?
to self medicate this way once in a while
but you're afraid of everything
your love's the missing link, you can't appreciate anything
dead on the sofa with a record running
baby i can't help letting you down
letting you down
letting you down

got your attention didn't I?
crying coming apart right here before your eye
how disappointed, are you now?
i'm still listening, just tell me what you want
i won't feel a thing, just tell me what you want
leaving you alone wasn't my decision and
baby it's not easy letting you down
letting you down
letting you down

Wilco – Radio Cure Lyrics 16 years ago
I really like "distance has A way of making love understandable" way better.
Because anyone who's been in a long distance relationship with someone they truly loved knows this is true...

Elliott Smith – Ostriches and Chirping Lyrics 16 years ago
Yeah me too. I skip it when I'm listening to the album because it creeps me out. Especially when I fall asleep with my headphones in.

"i felt it in my chest"
That's so heartbreaking considering the circumstances...

Wilco – Radio Cure Lyrics 17 years ago
I believe this song is about being in a long distance relationship

"cheer up honey I hope you can" Is kinda like I hope you can because I'm not there to help you

"Distance has no way, of making love understandable" is obvious...

Idk that's my take on the song

Elliott Smith – Little One Lyrics 17 years ago
...this is about overdosing on heroin or another drug

If it's good shit you won't know
And I won't know the fact that I'm dying

Elliott Smith – A Fond Farewell Lyrics 17 years ago
I hate how everyone one songmeanings tends to compare elliott songs to drugs and suicide...

but

this is definitely about drugs...and being very unhappy about using them.

Elliott Smith – Crazy Fucker Lyrics 17 years ago
Also, Autumn De Wilde, one of Elliott's close friends and writer of the book "Elliott Smith", her daughter is named Arrow, and Elliott absolutely loved that kid =]]...

Elliott Smith – Crazy Fucker Lyrics 17 years ago
I think this is a story of him getting into a barfight with some one that has been messing with him all night (who's arrow comes to pick me out). And the kid that he's going to fight is a kid that thinks he has problems in his life, but really he's a middleclass kid that knows nothing about life. And the kid is telling stories about his life and Elliot says he's already full of those useless stories, because he's had problems too

And I don't think he ever says"erin" I think Arrow is repeated throughout the whole song

Elliott Smith – King's Crossing Lyrics 18 years ago
This is my interpretation of the song:

The king's crossing was the main attraction
Dominos are falling in a chain reaction
The scraping subject ruled by fear told me
Whiskey works better than beer

A chain of events has happened and he's depressed and trying to drown it out with liqour


The judge is on vinyl, decisions are final
And nobody gets a reprieve
And every wave is tidal
If you hang around
You're going to get wet

He knows if he kills himself theres no coming back, nobody gets a second chance, he's telling people around him not to be sad and to just go away so they don't get hurt.

I can't prepare for death any more than I already have
All you can do now is watch the shells
The game looks easy, that's why it sells
Frustrated fireworks inside your head
Are going to stand and deliver talk instead
The method acting that pays my bills
Keeps the fat man feeding in Beverly Hills
I got a heavy metal mouth that hurls obscenity
And I get my check from the trash treasury
Because I took my own insides out

Talking about the record label and how he feels violated by them

It don't matter because I have no sex life
All I want to do now is inject my ex-wife
I've seen the movie
And I know what happens

He feels unwanted and all he wants to do is shoot up


It's Christmas time
And the needles on the tree
A skinny Santa is bringing something to me
His voice is overwhelming
But his speech is slurred
And I only understand every other word
Open your parachute and grab your gun
Falling down like an omen, a setting sun
Read the part and return at five
It's a hell of a role if you can keep it alive
But I don't care if I fuck up
I'm going on a date
With a rich white lady
Ain't life great

more on his addiction... the white lady is heroin slang.


Give me one good reason not to do it
(Because we love you)
So do it

The final cry in the dark... they say they love him... but he says do it and don't just say it.

This is the place where time reverses
Dead men talk to all the pretty nurses
Instruments shine on a silver tray
Don't let me get carried away
Don't let me get carried away
Don't let me be carried away

He's talking about the afterlife... dead men talking to nurses and time reverses.

Classic Garth Brooks? How About he stole this from a man named Todd Snider because he's a stupid hillbilly who can't write his own songs.

Did anyone else realize this song starts out with the same chord as the first chord in the piano version of "Miss Misery"? I thought when i listened to it someone had mislabeled the song for the first 3 seconds.

Bright Eyes – True Blue Lyrics 18 years ago
This is the meaning i like to take on, it's probably not what Conor had in mind but it makes a lot of sense:

Think of "True Blue" as being like yourself... like not pretending to be something you're not. If you take on that meaning it makes a very happy song, with that meaning lines like these make a lot of sense:

I sing the blue notes to my blue friends

Now I don't know that much about you
But I like you because you are true blue

I guess the thing I'm trying to tell you
Is that it is best, kid, if you’re true blue

Oh, I felt real blue eating that blue fish
(kind of at home, or happy with yourself)

Because there ain't much that I won't do
Unless it keeps me from being true blue

Nirvana – Floyd the Barber Lyrics 18 years ago
kratosaurion,

You my friend... wayyyyyy over analyzed this song, Kurt wasn't always angst and depression... read his journals, Kurt was a funny guy.

This song is simply about Kurt getting raped by the cast of the Andy Griffith show.
