Built to Spill – Made-Up Dreams Lyrics 18 years ago
when i hear the line,

"That stupid sound
That awful feel
Don't bring them down
And it never will
No, it never will"

i always think about the song "i would hurt a fly" and the lyrics, "i can't get that sound you make out of my my head." and how he uses the "sound" element in both songs and i wonder if it just refers to the same thing...

Built to Spill – Happiness Lyrics 18 years ago
i think it is about being in a depressed and unmotivated state. Having a half assed attitude towards everything. and its true "Happiness will only...happen when it can." It's hard to be happy when the motivation isn't there. it can't be forced.

Built to Spill – I Would Hurt A Fly Lyrics 18 years ago
well where do i even start, in my opinion i believe this is one of BTS's most powerful and meaningful songs. i am surprised there haven't been more comments! i think the song is very haunting in a way with the string instruments. to me it symbolizes an addiction. "I can't get that sound you make out of my head, i can't even figure out whats making it." refers to the constant thought and nagging/obsessiveness of addiction and the pain that comes with it. Almost as if it makes you a different person. "There's a mean bone in my body, it's connected to the problems that i won't take for an answer and i wont take that from you, because i'd hurt a fly." i love that line...it's so raw and true....and well everyone has problems whether it be a serious addiction or day to day battles. this song just strikes a chord with me and will always ring true.
