| Atmosphere – Always Coming Back Home To You Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| The song is about returning home after growing older and wiser. The hidden track is a more optimistic take on the same issue. | |
| Atmosphere – Scapegoat Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Go to wikipedia and search for "determinism". In short, its the theory that our "reality" is only a chain of logically predictable reactions to external stimuli. I feel that this song represents the concept really well. This is true stuff; an accurate reflection of reality. Not satire at all... Just my opinion though. | |
| Sonic Youth – The Diamond Sea Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This song is about two people in a relationship and is told from the female's perspective. "time takes it's crazy toll and how does your mirror grow" How does her self image change over time? Eventually the girl is drawn into a relationship. Her man asures her that everything will be perfect and hold up to her ideals. She glosses over problems and incompatabilities between the two of them. Now that she is comitted and has fallen in love with the "diamond ring" (representing plans and relationship ideals") she understands how close she came to reaching a feeling of one-ness with herself (before the relationship). She can look into his eyes and realize the complexity and depth of the hype she's bought into. How will the guy react if he notices she's no longer into him? There bond has lost its strength or "crystallized to sand" and she is now more alone than before. "look into his eyes and you will see that men are not alone on the diamond sea " They both led each other on until things got to this point (drifting in a "diamond sea" of unattainable ideals). She understands why things are no longer the same between them. How will he "make her smile" when neither of them are "feeling it"? Kind of a downer really :( |
