| Emmy the Great – Secret Circus Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| This is one of my absolute favorite songs. When it pulls back from the drum beats and crescendoing in the middle with "You always told me that I tend to overdramatize," it kills me every time. | |
| The Hush Sound – The Boys Are Too Refined Lyrics | 17 years ago |

Like most interpretations of songs, mine is about 90% projection and 10% textual clues, so bear with me. The narrator, who I'm not going to assume is Ms. Salpeter even if it probably is, really, really wants this guy who is brassy, ballsy and probably a terrible idea. She wants to be the new girl he's fucking, but she's not one of those biting, bucking girls (I warned you about the projection), even if she would really like to try it. The boys who kiss and bite They are the brilliant ones Who speak and write with silver luck They sing in clever tongues Oh, how my knees go weak to be the one She kicks and bucks She longs for something more dangerous and thrilling, I get the distinct sense of wanting to make a mistake, not just for the excitement that comes along with it, but even to have made the mistake itself. Also, thanks alexmce for showing where the inspiration for the song came from and for introducing me to a fantastic poem. |
