Blind Melon – The Duke Lyrics 16 years ago
I know its probly supposed to be a metaphor, but my first thought when looking at these lyrics is of a man shipwrecked at sea. Either way this is a fucking amazing song...Blind Melon is so underrated

Animal Collective – Taste Lyrics 17 years ago
this song is about being yourself.. I think the "Things" outside of me are other people's judgments, not material things at all.
"Would I complete myself without the things I like around?" I think is talking about people that the singer likes..including someone he cares about romantically.

In the third verse it becomes clear that something is wrong with the singer and his girl. The reference to 'clothes' (which appears several times in the song) is about the image of ourselves that we present to the everyone else. So "Only Ma'd pretend to like the clothes you showed to me" is saying something about how his girl is making him show/be a different person than the one that is really inside of him. The second to last line "And don't go changing clothes when they don't like yours" sounds like advice. The singer realizes he cannot change who he is for another person (nor should he have to).
The last line though is thoughtful...does how other people see you define who you are? I sure hope not

I love this song and Animal Collective...try not to judge me on my kind of taste

Animal Collective – April and the Phantom Lyrics 17 years ago
At first i did think this song was about an imaginary friend but there are very direct sexual references.

"Phantom ride
April's hole"
"I sneak around
you're on top
a frenzy April
then we ride again"

the part about the mother knowing is interesting too..not really sure..she say's she sorry. Maybe April regrets her sexual experience/encounter but it's too late to take it back..she's grown up now whether or not she wants to be. The part with the screaming is desperate sounding and could easily be a teenage girl freaking out...

Animal Collective – Flesh Canoe Lyrics 17 years ago
I heard in an interview that a "Flesh Canoe" was two people lying in bed together facing each other...although the vagina thing certainly works too

this song is so great....the first minute and a half will always be one of my favorite moments in music

The Flaming Lips – Fight Test Lyrics 17 years ago
This song isn't about physical violence...stand up and be a man. Fighting for a girl is a lot harder than getting into an actual fight. I've lost fights and I've lost girls and I know which is harder.

Animal Collective – Water Curses Lyrics 17 years ago
i want to be like water and slip into your throat
and make you feel alive and good

This sounds to me like it has something to do with love. Definitely another person involved tho. Like you want to reawaken or simply begin feelings with someone.

Dr. Dog – From Lyrics 17 years ago
Oh, oh, my God
He listens to me
And I ain't even talking out loud
Oh, oh, my God
And he says, ‘My son’
‘Now, listen to me’
‘And listen while the listening’s good
You’re not my son’
But you know my love
No it ain’t easy
But it ain’t the type to give up and die
That’s not my love

Very deep. Wonder why god turned his back on him?

Animal Collective – The Purple Bottle Lyrics 17 years ago
and it should be changed to "No silence is a bore"
those are definitely the right lyrics

Animal Collective – The Purple Bottle Lyrics 17 years ago
I definitely agree with everything summeraolescence says. This song is about how you are really nervous around someone because you are just crazy of them and thats why the mood of the song is fast paced and almost nervous. Everyone wants to be able to slow down and tell the person that "You are the purple in me" but its not always so easy to say

Dr. Dog – Hang On Lyrics 17 years ago
"what you thought was a hurricane
was just the rustling of the wind"

You think you come so close with someone, or someone's giving you signals but you realize you had it wrong.
Hang on for hope

Absolutely awesome song
