i really liked your breakdown of the way his lyrics sound. and yeah i also couldn't make out the words, and when i found out I was a bit surprised and intrigued. your reasoning on foreign languages is cool too, but i'm just wondering if there is a point when a foreign language becomes less beautiful...if we learn it? i dunno. his lyrics are great, but i also think The Shins have really awesome lyrics. james mercer's writing on Wincing the Night Away (album) is reallly something to think about |

I'm not sure which version is better, the original BBC freak zone recording, or the recording on FBK. I think the instrumental loop is more entrancing in the BBC version, but avey sounds slightly better on FBK. and having Panda Bear on backup vox is always a treat. |

official Daily Routine lyrics Just a sec more in my bed Hope my machine's working right When it's just precisely tuned That's how it's going to end up so nice Make sure my kid's got a jacket Keys and coat and shoes and hat Strap a stroller to my back Bouncing along every crack What good is it to make it fast Sing a song to pass the playground What can I do as traffic pass Guard my girl from muffler's black gas What can I do to make it fast Pop a jump but not too hard Take a little look up at the ramp Stop and look at the traffic signal Just a sec more in my bed Hope my machine's working right |

| Animal Collective – Summertime Clothes Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
official Sweet summer night but I'm stripped to my sheets Forehead is leaking, the AC squeaks and A voice from the clock says, "You're not gonna get tired" My bed is a pool and the walls are on fire Soak my head in the sink for a while Chills on my neck and it makes me smile but My bones have to move and my skin's gotta breathe You pick up the phone and I'm so relieved You slide down your stairs to the heated street The sun has left us with slippery feet And I want to walk around with you And I want to walk around with you And be here with you and go out It doesn't really matter, I'll go where you feel Hump for the breeze, get a midnight meal I point in the windows, you point out the parks Rip up your sleeves and I'll ditch my socks Dance to the songs from the cars as they pass Weave through the cardboard, smell that trash Walking around in our summertime clothes, Nowhere to go while our bodies blow But we'll greet the dawn with morning blues In purple yards we'll be sleeping soon And I want to walk around with you And I want to walk around with you |

| Animal Collective – Also Frightened Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
official Ghosts came crowding around and then I woke, you slept there on your side From our window, two lanterns draw signs on the night And light our two shadows I watch with delight Will I want them to be who they will be Or to be more like their dad Will it be just like they're dreaming Will it be just like I'm dreaming Will it be just like they're dreaming Will it be just like I'm dreaming The influence is relative Maybe I should let them Maybe we should let them And I have a question: Are you also frightened? And no one should call you a dreamer |

| Animal Collective – Taste Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
official There's a secret place I hide that's deep inside of me An elusive voice that tells me what I like now You might think I'm going to judge you in your fancy place I don't really give the credit to what taste does Cause I don't care if you don't like that You'll get your feelings hurt, but I'll forget its bad And if I like you it's for your simple ways And we will always be at a tasty place And you can cook a rose but I don't eat those (Taste, yeah it's the taste) Taste Doll, I dearly tried to like the clothes you chose for me Something in my heart can tell me it's a weakness But I got shocked and picked some flowers since you wouldn't dare Take a woman's blouse and send it for your son to wear. But when we share our important views You get a glimpse of me, I get a glimpse of you And I don't really care if I don't change your ways If you won't always be at our tasty place And you can cook a rose but I don't eat those (Taste, yeah it's the taste) Taste Am I really all the things that are outside of me Am I real |

| Animal Collective – My Girls Lyrics | 17 years ago |

official There isn't much that I feel I need A solid soul and the blood I bleed With a little girl, and by my spouse I only want a proper house I don't care for fancy things Or to take part in a precious wait And to provide the man you ask I will, with heart, on my father's grave I don't mean To seem like I care about material things Like a social status I just want Four walls and adobe slabs For my girls |

In the Flowers official Met a dancer Who was high in a field From her movement Caught my breath on my way home Couldn't stop that spinning force I felt in me Everything around seemed to giggle glee She walked up with a flower and I cared Got a dancer Who gets wild to the beats of record rhythms But I'm always away for weeks That pass slow my Mind gets lost Feeling envy for the kid who'll dance despite anything Oh while out in the flowers I feel better If I could just leave my body for the night Then we could be dancing No more missing you while I'm gone There we could be dancing And you'd smile and say, "I like this song" And when our eyes will meet there We will recognize nothing's wrong And I wouldn't feel so selfish I won't be this way very long To hold you in time To hold you in time To hold you in time To hold you in time While we were dancing Early hours Drunken days finally ended And the streets turned for a pillowcase Then I fumbled our good lock Then the ecstasy turns to rising light Through our windowpane Now I'm gone I left flowers for you there Shhh You're a dancer I'm a dancer |

| Animal Collective – Bluish Lyrics | 17 years ago |

Bluish official lyrics When you claw me like a cat, I'm beaming I like the way you squeeze my hand Pulling me into another dream, A lucid dream. I'm getting lost in your curls I'm getting crushed out on the things that only I should see not for boys, they're just for me Hurry to talk, from far away I can see you, you curl your fists and you pull your hair When we're alone, I wanna say Let's just stay in, no one's here (???????) Put on the dress that I like It makes me so crazy, though I can't say why Keep on your stockings for a while Some kind of magic in the way you're lying there I'm getting lost in your curls I'm getting rushed back on a whim, Our breaths get wind Back to the time when we will greet I know we have changed But I still grin 'cause I can't wait to see you Back to the time I touched your hair |

Official lyrics: Open up your Open up your Open up your throat And let all of that time All of that time All of that time All of that time go! I know it sucks that Daddy's done But try to think of what you want You've got to open up your Open up your Open up your throat Matt! Open up your (Open up your) Open up your throat Open up your Open up your Open up your throat And let all of that time All of that time All of that time All of that time go! I know it sucks that Daddy's done But try to think of what you want You've got to open up your Open up your Open up your throat Matt! Sport, brother Support your brother You got to weigh what you say To help you change the way you play You gotta get rid of your mourning You gotta hound them til their done Whoo! Matt! You're halfway until you're fully grown You've got a real good shot Open up don't hold inside: "Keep it real, keep it real Shout it out" Until you're fully grown You've got a real good shot Open up don't hold inside: "Keep it real, keep it real Shout it out" Matt! |

| Animal Collective – Brother Sport Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song is actually about a the African tribe 'Kawkly-Lokah-Hookah-Dookar-Par-Gook-foop-Loop' Yes, the one and only 'Kawkly-Lokah-Hookah-Dookar-Par-Gook-foop-Loop'. Sometimes the tribe name is mispronounced as 'Slurp' because the language they speak sounds like old Russian with a lisp. It'll hurt me, but here is the true meaning of the song (using all of the lyrics posted as of 1/18/09): "Open up your throat" is what it is. So, these Slurps would open up their throats, and allow tiny black butterflies to fly out and cause the Slurps to create an "And let the all of that time go" sound. "Matt!" refers to the tribe leader's name. Every Slurp tribe leader is called Matt, duh. Look it up on Wikipedia (aka the fountain of knowledge and blacks!). "Support your brother" is a war cry issued by the tribe leader, Matt, during times of intense labor and lovemaking throughout the world. (Note: this has only happened twice during the past 40 decades, once was during the coming of Christopher Walker, and the other when very yes.) "You've got to weigh what you say You ought to be ashamed of the way you play". This must've taken Animal Collective at least three years to decipher because that message is secretly tattooed on to every Slurp baby. "Until you're fully grown" Yes. "You've got a real good shot" Yes! "Don't grow too old inside" YES! Essentially, this is the way of the Slurps. You don't want to read a book while sliding down a slide, do you? Well neither do the Slurps. Getting a little wood here and there won't make you younger, just older, but better! Well according to 'Matt' of the Slurps, Brothersport = Brotherhood. Doesn't it? That's what Panda Bear and Avey were thinking about when they wrote this. All of the lyrics fall into the line of that invisible line between you and your brother, a connection that just isn't duplicated by any other bond in the world(well, the tie between a human and a dog comes close). There is also a mutual sense of encouragement even if there is constant fighting. Also, if the brother is separated by time or distance, there aren't words (obviously), but the interlude of the song (when Avey) sings is a great representation of it. In the end, it's all fun and games. AC says in this song "it's nice to be here, to be alive, to be with people" So: "Keep it real, keep it real, shout out" -------- What I'm trying to say is 'Brothersport' = "Sport which brothers play" which is: Brotherhood. And this song perfectly resembles it. Good job AC. |

oh wow i spelled summer incorrectly... (Just for us!) (Yo guys!) (Woo-hee!) Zone (x4) Shoots to my nine and obstructs to my sheets Foreman is leakin' My AC squeaks And a voice from the clock says, "You're not gonna get tired" My bed is a pool and my wall's on fire I'm soakin' my head in the sink for a while Chokes in my neck and I begin to smile but My bones got to move and my skin's gotta breate You pick up the phone and I'm so relieved You slide down your stairs in just like a stream And the sun has laughed as you slip your feet And I want to walk around with you (x2) With you (x2) Oh it's... (In distinct talking) It doesn't make matter or gloom where you feel Home for the breeze get a midnight meal I open the windows you point at the part You rip off your sleeves and I ditch my socks We dance to the songs from the calls of their backs We use that cardboard smell that trash We're dancin' around in our summertime clothes Nowhere to go but where our bodies go And we breathe in the dawn it's morning blue With purple on you'll be sleeping soon And I want to walk around with you (x2) And when the sun goes over the wagon (16x) Dark cool light Let me go on They sieze the sound of the heat from the sound of the rain It's easy to sleep when it wets my brain It covers my rest with a saccharine sheen Kissin' the wind 'till my windows scream The rest is just coarse that I cannot hide So much in my mind that it spills outside Do you wanna stroll down a financial street Our clothes will get soaked but the buildings sleep And there's no one pushin' for a place The inner path is an easy pace And I want to walk around with you (x2) I want to walk around with you (x2) Just you (16x) just my hearing |

| Avey Tare and Kría Brekkan – Sasong Lyrics | 17 years ago |

My interpretation, (chill out before you flame me, it's an opinion), enjoyyourroots, i don't think it's better than sex, though it is something. I think it's just amazing what Avey can think of and write down. His voice is perfect for this as well as the guitar playing. I think this is one song I'm glad he didn't do with the rest of Animal Collective and let Panda do the vocals. Overall, I think the song is just about interaction with people, and what happens around your life as everything moves. People move around all the time, and depending on your mood/memories/thoughts, you'll feel differently at every moment. I love this verse: "There is a house on the trees where all the shadows work and they don't make their plans your plans" I think Avey is talking about people you don't see doin' work for you/community/the world. They don't tell you about it, but the work gets done, and they don't bother you about it. It's just about you. The shadows could be your own shadow (maybe your tax money? nah, sounds lame), or shadows compared to your physical person/psyche. "Then I eat with my people/and I laugh at the steeples/'cause Hell is my own bad thinking" I think this literally means, Hell is made up in his mind, and that there really isn't anything to fear (the whole idea that Hell was created just so that people would be good, morally). Whatever. "I know that the rain moves/and enters the dream pools/and diamonds are days with fire" I don't know. What is rain anyway? This is just another way of telling a story. Raindrops are our memories or ideas bouncing in and out of our minds. One or two raindrops enter our minds and really dig in there--can only be pushed out by our dreams. Diamonds are days with fire, compression of matter? (where am i?). Whatever, I dont know? What a great song. "You can take all you want from another person In the end you find you lose your voice" <-- this needs no explanation. |

yea the first 'seven weeks of river walkways' is 'seven years'. i do like the song a lot. i agree with lapinfourrure, he was wasted. i wish i knew what he meant by river walkways, but i can only think of something along the lines of an adventure...but maybe that's what i want it to mean. ha. great. wonderful. |
