Animal Collective – My Girls Lyrics 15 years ago
I don't know if there is any debate here, but Panda Bear is married and has a child, so I'm pretty positive that he is not gay.

The Smashing Pumpkins – Spaced Lyrics 16 years ago
This sounds a lot like poem written with the stream of consciousness method. Just a lot of random sentences that relate slightly with each other. Pretty funny topics that he addresses. Overall really sweet song.

Pelican – Bliss in Concrete Lyrics 17 years ago
Very powerful, very heavy song. I especially love the frequent and sudden change in tempo, adds a very nice dynamic twist to the song.

The Unicorns – Gut Stains Lyrics 17 years ago
Well it seems to me its a shot at the media in general. First he speaks about how their control of the news allows them to make people support whatever they choose.

Towards the end of the song, he describes the greed and self-interest of the media by describing the "photographer" as only caring about the right shot as opposed to helping the person who someone spilled their guts.

Islands – Kids Don't Know Shit Lyrics 17 years ago
Also one of my favorites from the album. Its apparent to me that there is a double meaning however.

More literally, its about kids being dumb, smoking, fighting, and being taught the wrong information.

I believe that really the song is discussing the end of finite resources. Most obviously the lines:

"kids don't know it, but everything they've got is gone
we used it for some fuel and food
then the rats took it from us and made a bomb"

discuss how young kids don't realize that when they're older this visage of comfortable living will be gone when resources run out, and blaming our usage of fuel and food and the governments (rats) expenditure on weapons.

The smoke referenced so frequently is a metaphore as in either "everythings going up in smoke" or the smoke being the by product of resources burning away.

He sings that what we've learned is lies, and even though we knew they were lies, we believe them anyway because we don't want to have to face the truth that our natural resources are becoming scarcer every day and soon will be completely gone.

Finally in the line: "and we can't beat this cancer, can we?" the word cancer represents the problem of our need of finite resources and our inability to overcome that need.
