Vampire Weekend – Ottoman Lyrics 17 years ago
i think its the exact opposite, actually
i personally think it's about a boy who changes himself for a girl in a higher social class
and after he's changed his lifestyle and clothes, i think she left him.

"how handsome your furniture
LOVELIER* now, but dressed for a funeral"
-> i think that relates to how his lifestyle, even apartment furniture literally, might be much more 'grown-up' and look much more chic and 'older'. chic would be dark colors, like black.
portraits are painted with dark backgrounds usually.

"elegant clothes, you want to be seen with her"
-> obviously relates to how he's changed his look to see more suited to her tastes.

"all of the time it took, soon it's all lines of red in a leather book"
-> all the effort he put into making new, more sophisticated friends has been a waste.
he's scratching out their names in his Little Black Book of phone numbers.

that just how i always thought of this song or at least those parts.
the chorus i don't understand?

Broken Social Scene – Anthems for a Seventeen Year Old Girl Lyrics 17 years ago
i'm not sure if somebody already said this:

Bleachin' your teeth, smiling flash
Talking trash, under YOUR BREATH

& then the 4 time they say it, it's changed to window.

maybe i'm just picky, but i love this song, and its bugs me to see it incorrect.

Neutral Milk Hotel – Two-Headed Boy Pt. 2 Lyrics 18 years ago
i think this is just about getting older, you know?
probably somebody else wrote this but i don't feel
like reading 4 pages of comments, haha

like;
A child to your chest that could lay as you sleep
And love all you have left like your boy used to be

his father is old now, and misses his children how
they were, close to him, and not far away like they
are now.

and;
with those wings in your spine
Love to be with a brother of mine

the brother might be dead
wings = angel
& he misses him.

in his dreams, he can still see him alive.

and how he left with his head full of flames,
i think means the last time the writer saw him, he
was upset, and he never had a chance to make an
apology.

it could also work with the holocaust
like Anne Franks father missing his lost family.

but i dont think anybody but seabear themselves know for sure.

but it's not worth changing 2 words, you know.

if you're a real fan, you can figure it out for yourself.

Seabear – Libraries Lyrics 18 years ago
these are really wrong

this is what i hear & i've put some time into figuring it out

fall down the stairs,
it's been a long time since
i got my hands on your teenage poems
it's the only poison that i like.
and throwing rocks at broken windows
picking locks with
footprints from the snow

and i don't believe
you live in a library (that sails the sea)
sleeping with a book-blanket out at sea (like you told me)

my little bird
flew away from me
she made her home in a poor country
you're breaking branches
on your way down
to someone new to throw your arms around

the next i wake up, i want to be
in a rabbit hole
to the sound of you (making coffee)
with the warm, salty sea
it's waves crashing over me

look what you've done,
you punched a hole in the sun
now it won't shine for anyone
