Portugal. The Man – Sun Brother Lyrics 17 years ago
These are the lyrics to the full version

Heavy were the words dripping from my brain
flow about and sink in little bitty bits where I know
I know myself where floors were found shores were shaping doors
stretch for miles and miles I know
I know myself and everyone hidden from the sun
pepper churns and salts about my little noose where I know
I know myself and if you love everybody then I wonder shall you be saved
and I'm thinking when will we be found

I towed you way down through south land
where we left it all to die
climbing up back woods with palms quaking and thundering
out out out way way out south land
then I wonder shall you be saved
and I'm thinking when will we be found

I need you sunshine this rains a poured
please please please please please me
cry down and out film reflecting that reflections
send me a car these feet can't take it no more

earth and roads were mouths that swallow up and down
twist about the creek in step stepped steps and I know
I know myself tiny tickled toads concrete molded bowls
hop and fall and roll about them little selves where I know
I know myself and everything and every word and sight
I know about the present, end, dawn and time and I know

I'll take my time I don't worry that old man no more
he's a worry for lights that splash bout my eyes running around
shy naked and whispering found but listening know no ones behind
I told you wait down south land where we left it all behind
climbing up back woods with palms quaking and thundering
out out out way way out south land
hide deep down inside way away where nothing dies
sorry for the words that roll stroll and tumble about
I know myself every inch stumble and inside out
I don't need no one and I know I won't anytime soon

Pierce the Veil – Currents Convulsive Lyrics 17 years ago
Santi, i agree

hes in love with a girl that is drunk with the pressure fame brings. She is looking to change herself to fit a "perfect" image. He is sickened that she would do this. He thinks she is beautiful as she is and is in love with the real girl. He knows he wont love the fake, plastic girl that was altered, and he is a bit insecure about her feelings for him. If her physical appearance changes, what she really wants will change and shell be more interested in someone with similar alterations....

Agree? disagree?

Kay Kay And His Weathered Underground – One Ought To See Lyrics 17 years ago
Lyrics from the book:

Well i never won in races
except the ones that i was pacin'
damn i often slowly grazed
sucking chemicals man made
just so i could keep in shape with all them blacktop boys

And finally it occured to me
exactly why it had to be
in springtime my allergies
always had me lost in a dream
and when i ain't got much to do
boy i can pace a mile or two
yeah how bout you.


my altered state madness
I don't have the answers
I flat like for hours
at small daily wages like you

you'll never ever
you're never ever ever going to get the rest you need

Rx Bandits – Brown Shingle Berkeley Lyrics 17 years ago
a few corrections, at least from what i tend to hear.. a lot of the song is easier to hear from "Matt's Love and Loss" from his acoustic set a few years back

"every time i used to hangup with her"

"Afraid to shatter that one way mirror"

"we talked all night about tattoos and the way we used to be"

"just to lay my poor head down"

"she had nostalgia, and chokes in her eyes"

Definitely one of my favorites from his solo stuff.

Portugal. The Man – Kill Me. The King Lyrics 17 years ago
Basking briefly in this overeating indulgence of insides - a person using drugs to give them a good mental and body high but it only lasts for a brief amount of time

But I fear he’s lower than before
Though he's stronger than he looks - hes in a low point in his life but the narrator convinces himself that the person is strong enough to pull out of it on his own.

He’s made of feathers mixed with oil and small servings
Of hands and feet - i always got the image of Icarus when i heard these lines and since tar is close enough to oil it kind of works. he gets so high and then the tar and feathers fall apart and he falls to his death. or in this case to rock bottom.

Up so high
"How do they flutter so damn high?" - the person is envious of people who seem happy, wondering how they stay that happy without drugs


Now begin the search that hails you home -he is trying to start over with his life. he is trying to look for a place where he is loved, friends, family, etc.

"I think I lost my means."
He said with his face in the cup
Desperate times make for desperate people - he has burned all his bridges with freinds and family due to his drug addiction. now he is on the street begging for money (or maybe he turned to alcohol) depending on the interpretation of the cup. either one is a pretty desperate act.

just my thoughts

anyone else hear repli-cunt in his pronunciation of replicant? it would be funny little add-in if he did, it would make sense in this too because the song seems a bit spiteful

i love this song, and i agree with humble on the meaning, but one of the things that makes portugal so great is that their lyrics can be interpreted so many ways...

Portugal. The Man – Sleeping Sleepers Sleep Lyrics 18 years ago
This has turned into one of my favorite songs.

im not sure how to interpret it...

maybe it has to do with education, it might seem like a stretch but the first part seems like he is saying that "you can make us look the same, you can strip us of our individuality, and censor books that you seem unfit, but we will still learn our own way."

the next part, to me, relates to how people as a whole are fearful, manipulatable, and quick to attack/defend, but individually you can strive for your own personal truth and perspective, even if that means walking till your legs are broken.

i dont know, just some thoughts. you can extrapolate my interpretation of the rest of the song with this mind set of treating people as a group rather than individually.

or on another note, it could just be about the problems of society, or drugs, or anything. lets see some other ideas!

Wax On Radio – Give Me A Place To Stand And I Will Move The Earth Lyrics 18 years ago
i always interpreted it as him losing someone he loved, or, now reading what everyone else has been writing, something along the line of hope and will to live. and the emotional fight that partook.

in the end its him getting over it all with the help of his friends and family.

however, the last lines "sail on quick. fly past the world. find me a love" kind of shows that he may never be confident and secure enough to fully succeed by himself and will always live with his doubt and depression unless a new and hopeful love comes.

another thought that comes to me with the last couple lines is that those are just ways of getting over what was lost. the sail on quick and fly past the world, to me, sounds like he is trying to keep busy and not pay attention to anything that reminds him. and doing it immediately. while find me a love like a said before would renew his hope and confidence in himself. Thus, it makes me think of this song pertaining to more of a lost love then anything else.

hope this made sense to people, i'm kind of just rambling, but with this context you can kind of decipher the song pretty easily in my opinion.

As Tall as Lions – Into The Flood Lyrics 18 years ago
In my opinion, the lyrics seem to represent a relationship going stale.

"all this time is ash and sand, its running thru my hands" that time has no meaning to it anymore. more to the point, the time he spends with her holds no basis it, theres no form or structure.

"so what if i dont feel/see it" talking about how he doesn't feel what he used to, and how he doesn't see a reason to stay with her.

"torn apart from limb to limb and put in place again" i get the picture that they were in a fight where he was just getting torn apart. while sitting there taking it in a numb surreal world of his own. which brings it back to the "so what if i dont feel it" line

"innocence is gone" the beginning of a relationship is amazing and blissful and well.. innocent. now its gone stale and you know every little flaw about a person and there is nothing holding you back from pointing those flaws out. maybe the cause of the above fight.

"and you dont taste the same" the girl changed, lost her innocence. overall not the girl he fell in love with.

and finally "the steps between us is starting to show
the space between us is starting to grow" this is kind of self explanitory. Their differences are starting to come to the surface and they are beginning to see that they are growing apart.

then back to the first couple of lines to recap.
