| Fever Ray – Triangle Walks Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
I think a bear or something has taken to thrashing around outside her residence and eating berries, she finds herself out again at 4 AM walking somewhat unsteadily, in perhaps a triangular gait, and some douchebags' prissy girlfriends are sassing her for being drunk, so she tells them to fuck off? So after a day like that she wants to hang out at her friend's quiet house and maybe take a nap there.
I think it's dumb and disrespectful to claim that Karin is making winking references to the some drugs she likes to do. That is not what she is about, she is talking about impressionistic scenes from the course of whatever she was doing at a particular time, which is none of your concern and has nothing to do with the song.
As for whether or not The Knife and Fever Ray are encouraging you to get high on everything you can get and listen to their music, I would agree that's somewhat implicit. |

| Phosphorescent – Salt & Blues Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
one of the more subtle songwriters out there making a naturalistic metaphor of constantly onrushing waves at the beach. his memory of the time that he first got through to her and they got together was backed by this same scene, but now the waves just remind him of the constancy of his feelings of longing for her. too good.

| Caetano Veloso – The Empty Boat Lyrics

The reason I really need to learn Portuguese legitimately instead of trying to understand it via Spanish is that, even when Caetano Veloso writes in a second language, his lyrics are often devastatingly beautiful and well crafted. The song is mind-blowing, and as on the rest of this record there is philosophical depth that is on par with anything else I've ever heard. I wouldn't call him the Bob Dylan of Brazil, I'd call him the Vladimir Nabokov of psychedelic rock. |
