Neutral Milk Hotel – Gardenhead/Leave Me Alone Lyrics 18 years ago
btw..i see it as a breakup song as well. Basically saying that him and the girl are on a date (prolly not a real life date, more of a metaphor) and they are growing distant. And only the Gardenhead (the people who have been there before us) know how he feels.

The rest of the song is him just criticizing the girl for just being an object, rather than someone who can love him.

Seems like in the last stanza he is offerin to try to change her ways, but she just gets mad. He justs kinda says fuck it and dumps her. Sorry if I oversimplified it lol

the best part about this song...anyone can play it.

The guitar chords alternate between E and C ( with 2 little parts of G and D). I like to play this when I am alone. For some reason it comforts me

My Bloody Valentine – Off Your Face Lyrics 18 years ago
I just see this as a break-up song. The singer addresses the fact the she "hates" hating people. She is talking to Hate like a person.

the part:

"Cry-baby
Shame
You're in love
With the game"

I believe references the fact that the game is love. Some relationships work, some dont. But either way there is someone to love.

"Swallow the pain
Nothing else will remain"

Deal with the beakup without so much pain, someone else will come up soon enough

"Hate
What I will do is
Scar you"

Once again telling "Hate" that she will not hate anyone and will just move on to someone else. No need to be in pain about the breakup. IMO

pretty simple song. Singing to Cupid to come down so he can fall in love again.
