| Built to Spill – Distopian Dream Girl Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I think someone who formerly help a solipsistic viewpoint and has since changed because of some connection with another would, looking back, see their decision to choose anything at all over their own life as either a) apocolyptic (or dystopian - i.e. the opposite of paradise) or b) a form or maturation from a self-centered philosophy. Thus since the speaker here choose the stupid choice from his philisophical perspective he can only reconcile that by changing his perspective (or perhaps the action was at the same time a paradigmatic shift). The narrative moves to a married couple in bed sleeping after the decision is made, perhaps another invocation of maturation and love. But at the same time their is a sense of something lost...perhaps he did chose her life, and she is considering the consequences for himself and herself from his philisophical perspective. | |
