| Parachute – She (For Liz) Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
It's pretty straight forward to me. He likes a girl [someone named Liz, apparently] and every time he's around her he can't ever say what he wants to. He goes from a smooth talker to that guy who forgets his name whenever she's around, that sort of thing. I think the beginning is about him not being sure of her feelings. But he's really sure about his, and he's generally really good about getting the girl, asking them out, etc. Except when it comes to her. The 'devil on his shoulder' is laughing because he turns into an idiot around her, and can't do what he wants. The chorus is how she makes him freeze up, he can't find words and can't breathe. BUT him not being able to voice it is killing him, despite her making him feel all alive and giddy and full of adrenaline and all that other stuff that you explode with when you like someone. He's also had lots of chances to make his move, but every time he fails. The second verse is the same kinda thing, his mouth/head doesn't work, he brought 'a stick to a gun fight' which is pretty much saying he always does things wrong, and even if he runs away from it he can't ever forget how he feels. Then the chorus again, and of course the end of the chorus is about him finally going all or nothing and telling her or asking her out or whatever. It's sink or swim for him, do or die, he'll 'drown or make her mine'. All metaphorically and sung by a beautiful voice. Whoever Liz is, she's one lucky girl. |

| The Decemberists – The Hazards of Love 3 (Revenge!) Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Though it's a very interesting idea Skyline, i'm with chapstick. In this very song it says the urn was buried. And unless you put a brick inside it so it sinks, I can't really fathom why you'd chuck the urn with your dead kids ashes into a river. Also, I think clay was at least partially used because 'and he was a baby entombed in a woven basket of reeds, and I was the soul who took pity and stole him away' just doesn't rhyme. She also says baby, and Isaiah was, at the very least, a young boy when his father murdered him. He was the oldest and not only was he of an age to understand what happened to his sisters, he could fight back. He wasn't exactly a threat, but babies don't fight. And while Colin loves making sick connections like that, he also gives you all the information by the end at least, and he probably would have sung as Isaiah if that's who William was from the start. But, Isiah is last for a reason, and the whole song starts with William coming upon the Rake with Margaret, and killing him. Then he's stuck in death and with the children that he murdered forever and ever. It's got Colin written all over it as much as William being Isaiah would. But, please. If Isaiah being William is what makes the album for you, don't let me get in the way of that. |

'i gave you motion anointed with lotion' is referencing her changing him into a fawn. which is the spelling in the cd insert, Discovear. why did she change him into fawn? beats me. the lady is crazy. but the song is amazing, and Shona Warden blows me away. |
