Neutral Milk Hotel – Holland, 1945 Lyrics 16 years ago
I think it's great that 13 years after the album was made people are still commenting about it. Talk about staying power. Brilliant fucking album and I just got into it in the last month.

Stars – Take Me to the Riot Lyrics 17 years ago
It is about drugs and partying.

The first three stanzas are about getting the drugs.

The "riot" is being on the drugs. The cell is the next after the party.

I like to think that last three stanzas are about a person who may be in a relationship with somebody that revolves around partying and drugs. I only say that because I have been there and can relate and this song really reminds me of that relationship.

But really, that just makes the point that a songs interpretation can really depend on your own history. Everyone naturally draws on their own experiences. This is what i get out of it.

And to confirm what Milan! said:

The lines are
Each one lining up to take IT home
AND NOT
Each one lining up to take HIM home

as well as
Let’s do THEM, just feed me
NOT
Let's do that, just feed me.
