| Bright Eyes – Ship in a Bottle Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Clever title. RelationShip. It's about having unrealistic ideas of love for someone. You're watching from the outside but not able to take part. So you just painfully idolize them. | |

| I don't think he's really trying to be derisive in the poor black child part. I think he's just being observational. | |

I think part of this song hints at his disbelief in afterlife. The part about laying in bags as dead as leaves for eternity leads me to believe this. I think he's saying that when we die nothing really happens. We just expire. He's talking about a lot of strife in daily activities. Working and taking occasional vacations. Sort of like being a cog in a large grinding system. When we die it puts an end to the machine. There's nothing as easy, lucky or free. |

I absolutely hate how everyone always talks about drugs the entire time on these boards. People see one drug reference and assume the entire fucking song is about coke addiction. Stop being so narrow minded. My interpretation of the song is that he's talking about high school and growing up. Reference to "grass stained jeans and incompletes." Speakers on a TV stand and hooded sweatshirt walks sound exactly like high school house parties. He's also probably mentioning maybe dabbling in some hard drugs, but he sees all of the people he knew in high school going down the wrong paths and possibly a death or two from drugs. Doesn't necessarily mean much about his own drug usage though. |
