| Chilliwack – Fly At Night Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I have had the intro guitar part stuck in my head for the past 3 years and could not, for the life of me, remember who sang this song or what it was even called. I tried every means possible to track this song down, and came up with nothing! Then, tonight, I stumbled upon it completely by accident. It's just as good as I remember.. |

I totally agree with Jiggadywig. That verse really hits me hard every time I hear it, no matter what mood I'm in or what I'm doing. Have you guys heard the acoustic version? It's enough to break your heart. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACHdXyXWJ5o |

| Bright Eyes – Devil Town (Daniel Johnston cover) Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I always took the mention of "vampires" to mean those who aren't really your friends, but instead feed off of your connections, moods, money, or anything else that can be taken from you and used. And the whole concept of the "devil town" I took to mean as an entire community of people merely using each other, with no real feelings of compassion or love present. Not a promising world view. I know that might not be the actual context of the song, but that's what I get out of it. |

I agree with epicfail. I think it's possibly about a drug addiction. "There was no way out, the only way out was to give in" could reference extreme cravings for a drug. Withdrawl is so painful and strong that the only way to escape from it is to take more of the drug (give in). "Here no one sleeps, one lays up while the other lies down" might mean experiencing the drug's high. Being in a euphoric, relaxed state, but never actually being able to sleep. "Ask the line on your face what the line on your hand meant" I personally view this line as a discredit to the "art" of palmistry and other methods of fortune telling. The line is implying that the future can only be viewed by looking back on it when you're older and have actually lived through it. In other words, there is no way of knowing exactly what will happen until it has already happened. "I'm so glad that I'm an island now" could mean the character is happy to be disconnected from reality when using drugs. (as an island is isolated from a main body of land) "Coughed out my heart in the last stall Now that the damage is done I never miss it at all " To me, this means that the character's drug addiction has taken away who they used to be and everything they used to love. And once they're high, they don't even miss it either. |
