Enter Shikari – Nodding Acquaintance Lyrics 18 years ago
Here is what i think
1)And you’d better be yourself
yourself tastes better
better than pieces of your heart

Someone who has changed, being told it would be better to be thierself
'and you'd better be yourself'

A good person underneath
'yourself tastes better'

However accidicted possibly to liquor
'tastes better'

So they arn't being theirself as they have an alcahol or drug addiction
'pieces of your heart'


2)Buy me some Indians
to oppose my bored dead cowboys
Buy me some time to spend
Staring into your eyes...

they are being asked to start fighting for thierself
'buy me some indians'

as the person trying to help them is bored of their actions
'to oppose my bored dead cowboys '

3)Caught sipping from
the cup of denial
your precious addiction
Your lies taste vile

[this is where i get the feeling it is an alcahol addiction]

the one addicted is caught again drinking
'caught sipping from'

they will not admit they they are addicted
'the cup of denial'

and someone says to them yes, you are addicted
'your precious addiction'

and the lies,
the lies that they are not drinking (remember caught sipping from)
are just wrong
'your lies taste vile'

4)And a nodding acquaintance
will be all that’s left for us
I’ll swear I used to know you
but obviously not enough?

The person trying to help finaly gives up after catching them at drinking again
'and a nodding aquaintance will be all thats left for us'

they simply say that they thought better of the person, that they thought they knew them
but obvviously not enough
'I’ll swear I used to know you
but obviously not enough'

Enter Shikari – Score 22 Lyrics 18 years ago
this probably dosent make sense

to me it sounds like

a guy has carved an idol of a girl
"it was score 22 days ago since i carved you out of the finest pine"

because she is dying

and she dosent want to have an idol carved of her
but he reasons and says
"What would you rather be? (x3)
Hated and remembered?
or just forgotten? "

and as she dies she finaly accepts that he is going to carve an idol of her and gives it her blessing by saying
"When her last breath echoes "you complete me"





but obviously that sounds like utter stupidness
(mind you it is enter shikari)

i think we need to look more to the meaning of the name "score 22"??

and i think that definatley the song is metaphorical

carving an idol of her could just mean that he puts her on a pedestal

Enter Shikari – Empty Lyrics 18 years ago
This song is a really clear song

"a blank sheet of paper begging to be filled"
someone wants to write a letter desperatley

"But tonight I cannot pour my heart out
because you escaped with it in your back pocket"
They cannot pour there heart out on a letter as there is nothin left of it, now there (possibly lover) has left them





here are some other possiblities -

due to the silence now that there lover has left
"tonight, yes my ears are in pain"
...the persons ears are in pain

as they have tried things like
"Television remote controls cannot save me "
turning up the tv to console themselves and the silence





and possibly
"Under these scented quilts
The absence of your lower case screams
Punching out your fragile pleas "

means
the bed is still scented with the person who has left...
the one in the room has heard the person who has left, 'plead' argue and say they are leaving...
but the scent of them overrides this and makes them wants them to come back

so they say
"Come now and leave with me
This place is almost empty"

which the place is


what do you think


im 16 lol
