Animal Collective – On a Highway Lyrics 15 years ago
Avey is singing. The question my friend and I had over this line is do you think Avey is literaly jealous of Noah dreaming while he is awake and tormented by the road, or (on a darker note) jealous of his artistic ambitions?

Animal Collective – On a Highway Lyrics 16 years ago
very introspective lyrics. the lines

On a highway
I know they aren't moving
They move by conversation
I pretend to know what they say

really adds a couple more dimensions to the song. it isn't about cars on a highway; where you are, where you're going doesn't matter. what matters is your mind and the way you relate yourself.
avey welcomes subjectivity and gets to know the people who pass him by inventing them himself, allowing us to peer into his creative process. great song, great ep.

Bob Dylan – It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) Lyrics 17 years ago
Has anybody read Bob Dylan's essay Last Thoughts on Woody Guthrie. It seems like he used that as a template for this song.

Bob Dylan – I Shall Be Free No. 10 Lyrics 17 years ago
it seems like throughout the song he gathers more of an ideology of a corrupt politician. most likely, this was done improv which makes it even more interesting. i love bob dylan. one of his funniest songs.

JesO, I think that lyric is meant to be way darker than a motivational one.

TV on the Radio – Red Dress Lyrics 17 years ago
TV on the Radio got good at writing lyrics. Dear Science rocks. Awesome album title by the way, I remember thinking that if I had a band, I would want to name it Dear Science a couple years ago. For me, it is a sarcastic view of how people think of science as an alternative to god. Anyway...

Rilo Kiley – Smoke Detector Lyrics 17 years ago
(she is saying that smoke crazy drunk girl on the floor of a dance floor does the smoke detector too, because you take off your clothes and rub around on the floor when a smoke detector goes off)

Rilo Kiley – Smoke Detector Lyrics 17 years ago
it took me a while to figure out how cleaver this song is, but im pretty sure i have it figured out... i didnt want to believe SepturpleAs comment, but after thinking about it, i think she might be right

My eyes burn, everybody smokes
My eyes burn, everybody smokes
I smoke too, but not as much as you
I do the smoke detector
(this is a play on words. she is saying that she is associated with smoke, but her association is with giving warning to it)

There is a girl in a tank top
She is not wearing a bra
She looks so hard on the dance floor
She does the smoke detector
(she is saying that smoke crazy drunk girl on the floor of a dance floor does the smoke detector too, because you take off your clothes and rub around on the floor when a smoke detector goes off)

She says, "Danger
Do the smoke detector"
She says, "Danger
I'm the smoke detector"
(this sounds to me like a lousy form of manipulation)

I took a man back to my room
I was smoking him in bed
Yeah, I was smoking in bed
This is what he said
(good sex+smoking?)

I took a man back to my room
I was smoking in bed
Yeah, I was smoking in bed
This is what he said
(kind of surreal, he tells a story about the story he is telling. the interpretation of this could go a lot of different ways, so ill leave it up to discussion)

I said, "Danger
Do the smoke detector"
I said, "Danger

I said, "Danger
