| Björk – Harm Of Will Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
To me, it's a big mixture of what some of you are saying. It's obviously about someone of importance, if he cannot be known..Perhaps a man of importance sleeping with someone of less importance, like a prostitute? Because of this one night stand, there is a child born. "This way is as is she And he placed her Unclothed Long long longlegged On top of the family tree" That line to me states how this woman is the first branch from the man on his family tree. The unclothed part could simply be pertaining to how she is of little importance..she doesn't even deserve clothes. "He makes his face known to none For if he is seen Then all will And all will know Know me" In this part, you can tell the story may be coming directly from the mouth of the illegitimate child. For if he's around this child, everyone will be able to tell it's his, and his reputation will be ruined. |

| Modest Mouse – The Stars Are Projectors Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Am I the only person who perceives this as an almost quite literal song? He's talking about stars. Rock stars, movie stars. Hollywood stars. How they project down to us, "planet earth" being the normal people in the world. It's about how they influence us so much, and how we keep trying to be like them. "Everyone wants a double feature" Them being so high above us, so superior to us as we think, we doubt ourselves. They bring such a sense of self-conciousness, we suspect our own creation on this Earth. |

For me, I think this song definately speaks for what could be a very dysfunctional relationship. But instead of being filled with depression and sadness, it's anger. That's conveyed rather well in his voice Or it could just be a message to society (or group of people), how they kinda dragged him down |

| Tweaker – Worse Than Yesterday Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
"l'll see you later, i can't imagine why i'd start allergic reactions" To me, it's kinda like pointing out ones own stupidity. Telling that you're going to see that person, even if you know you'll be hurt. Like people who eat too much junk food even when they know they're gonna get fat. "all those jokes and silly games you've wasted so much time" Everytime I hear that line, I think of being stuck in something that you thought might be worth something, when it's just a game. All those hours you could've spent on something else and you purposely gave it up for something you thought was better. "so sick and tired of automatic wash why you don't you do me a favor" Just like being bored of the same, everyday routine, like an automatic wash would be. Sure, it's custom, it's easy. But it's not really personal. It's just automatic. "maybe i could give it one more try" After that climatic chorus, it goes straight into a soft almost spoken line, with that piano in the background. Like your at the end of your ropes, broken and beaten, and you still have that smallest glimmer of hope. And the second time it's repeated, it's almost said as if the person is crying out. Maybe to nothing at all. It's personally one of my favorite songs |
