The Most Serene Republic – The Men Who Live Upstairs Lyrics 18 years ago
this song is about the overindulgence in today's society.
everyone's needs are immediately satiated.
we all have a "lion's share," more than we need
we do unnatural things like sleep during the day, take chemicals and drugs, and consume way more food than we need.
good art (art of surfeit) needs hunger
a meaningful life needs hunger of some sort

Islands – Rough Gem Lyrics 18 years ago
"I'm a girl's best friend"
a boy is in love with his best friend, who is a girl. but she is not interested in him in that way.

"Shape [my brain] into an ear and then tell me your pain"
meaning she doesn't listen very much to the things in HIS brain, she only uses him to tell him about her own problems.

"The world beat you for the something nice"
This guy is a "nice" guy and he's always just gotten screwed for it.

"They want me raw and smooth like glass
They want it fast but they don't want flaws"
The girl has a lot of short, fast superficial relationships with other guys.

"When it's late you'll see the hole is empty and oh so deadly"
In the end this awesome guy will realize that the girl is empty and oh so deadly.


I am this girl..
