I think the beginning should be: we are liars like the summertime like the spring we are such fools like fall we are false prophets and like winter we are cruel |

| Elliott Smith – Bye Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Does this remind anyone else of Edward Scissorhands? This would have been perfect in that movie. A little haunting, very beautiful, magical, casually intoxicating, vintagey little tune. | |
| Norah Jones – Carnival Town Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Maybe the song's about someone that's so obsessed with getting ahead, getting higher on the ladder, someone seeking a fast-paced life. Someone who doesn't realize that getting to the top means sacrificing love and friendships, leaving him/her in a very lonely situation. The people around him/her, the "clown" that's only entertaining for a while, the latest fad, even he eventually goes home to his own life and problems. And the original "someone" is stuck...without anyone. Without substance. | |

I have a feeling the song is essentially about politics, war, and religious hypocrisy, from a soldier's point of view. It could be referring to the war in Iraq, or any other war--past, present, or future. He's talking about politics and how we are controlled by our governments. "When the future's architectured/ by a carnival of idiots on show." He's talking about an increasingly "religious" society, "when the banks became cathedrals/ and the fog became God" and its apparent hypocrisy (supporting the killing of others to aid their own cause) "priests clutched onto bibles/ and went out to fit their rifles." And he's talking about soldiers that feel as though they're being used for a cause they may not believe in "I don't want to be a soldier/ with the captain of some sinking ship." "If you love me/ won't you let me know" is referring to sending the soldiers out to get killed. |

A couple of corrections: "Bury me in honor When I'm dead and hit the ground A love back home unfolds" and "I want to be a soldier The captain of some sinking ship with snow Far below If you love me why'd you let me go?" And, I think he says "when the banks became cathedrals" instead of "when the banks became diseased." I think the rest of the album drops in June. I simply cannot wait. |
