Silversun Pickups – Well Thought Out Twinkles Lyrics 12 years ago
Bush administration falsehoods and denials regarding the Iraq War

what was that scar situated from afar
(Memory and wound of perceived loss from first Iraq war.)

what was that light integrated in your mind
(Ideas of how to justify the new Iraq war. I think these would be inspections, investigations, manufacture intelligence, al qeuda connection to Hussein, etc. to antagonize Saddam to war.)

what have you done it's too early for everyone
(It seemed, to me anyhow, that the invasion was executed before any solid evidence of WMDs. Shock and Awe is an advertising slogan.)

wait for that sign spilling over and passed in time
(Reference to the lack of evidence of WMDs and passing up that fact and going on with the war machines momentum.)

come join in the last hurrah with open sores and open jaw
(With the Shock and Awe it will be the last time the US attacks Iraq because it will not end until Saddam and Iraq are brought to their knees.)

find one last flaw and keep it safe and free from harm
(Later is was proven that Iraq had no WMDs, but this was ignored and to argue against it would be unpatriotic.)

what have you done it's too early for everyone
so smile go inside come to see there is no sign
(Invade and find out that there are now signs or proof of any WMDs.)

now here we are revisiting
(Back in Iraq via invasion.)

a time a place a whole industry well we
(Seems exactly the same as the previous invasion. Industry of war.)

we promise we'll be leaving soon
(Whenever someone says they promise you can bet its lie.)

we share apocalyptic views
(Cultures of war seeing eye to eye. We are as violent as we frame them to be.)

how comforting that we feel it too
(Comforted in the fact that it's taking place half a world away, and through propaganda we won't care as much for the loss of lives there. Their perceived aggressive persona makes it ok to attack.)

who are we to promise we'll be leaving shortly
(With Iraq destabilized we have no choice but to try and help in rebuilding, as leaving would only invite the same problems.)

come join in the last hurrah with open sores and open
jaw
what was that light integrated in your mind
what have you done it's too early for everyone
wait for that sign spilling over and over and
over........

I don't think the lyrics posted are correct and they skew the meaning a bit. Anyhow, I think it's about the bank bailout.

Silversun Pickups – Booksmart Devil Lyrics 16 years ago
Haven't listened to this album very often and didn't recognize it at first while listening to Pandora. This REALLY sounds a lot like the Pixies. The rest of Silvesun Pickups, not so much. But this one, ya, very Pixies in sound. Love the song.

Helmet – Broadcast Emotion Lyrics 17 years ago
Reminds me of "Holiday in Cambodia" by Dead Kennedys.

Meaning to me: Someone that speaks of how they support an issue (...world hunger for example) but for self-empowering reasons. As soon as the next issue/cause comes along they switch energy to that issue. They are ambitious but to no end result.

Helmet – Birth Defect Lyrics 17 years ago
Just a try. It probably needs more pollish but I've got to get back to work:

"All the good that you discover
In people that you hate
Draw them close and pencil thin
Then they're easy to erase"
--People you loath can wear a facade of virtuosity/intellect. Once you get to know them and take "note"(ice) of their logic it's easier to trust your instinct and to disregard.--

"You've got it down just feed them lines
And watch them starve to death
Keep them crowded and short of air
Then you can take their last breath"
-- Now that you understand them you're able to ask an explaination. They run out of spin when you don't just eat what they say (reversal of the concept "Eating-upsomeone's words"). By asking them to explain their logic you'll get the last word to expose their hypocrisy.--

"I'd rather be insulted by you
Than someone I respect
If I don't share the same view
It's just my birth defect"
-- They will most likey curse yo. Since you understand them and how low they are their insults carry now weight. The only thing to do is to say your different becuase any logical explaination will never be hear.--

All the good that never comes
From always getting your way
--Refers to the person you hate.--

Basically: When someone talks and acts as if they are above you intellectually it can be possible to counter their spin.
