| Why? – Eskimo Snow Lyrics
| 14 years ago

i had a completely different take on that first verse, but i really do like that idea. it's interesting all the theories people come up with for songs even though they can't all be right, not that that is a bad thing at all.
the first verse i saw as just a reference to the idea that eskimos have so many different words for snow in it's slightly different forms. to anyone else it is just snow, but they've got it down to a system where subtle differences matter. yoni's got (what we see as) a million ways to say he feels like shit, but he knows the differences |

i think it's about how rain always makes you reminisce and think of things, and how you could have changed the outcome based on what you did/didn't say |

yoni used to tag, the "h" and "y" make sense as letters to criticize as 2/3rds of "why," but i don't know where that "p" would come from/what it would spell. |

in gnashville yoni says "practicing your plane wreck face in a first class lav," and in sick 2 think talks about airplane bathrooms again, so i think they are in some way a meaningful location to him. i heard an interview and he talked about how in high school he was depressed to the point that he would be in cars and just wish they would crash. no more insight, just sharing that incase someone can build off it. |

i agree with the second half of that, kaitlingrace, but i still see the third paragraph/verse/whatever as being primarily a masturbation reference, that his "leaves" that will be decomposing back to nature include things such as lost hair and semen, because i don't see any reason for him being in a ladies bathroom except as some kind of sexual thing
just my take on it. |

i think it's "you are still the fat faced, fresh fade" which would be talking about a haircut, as well as the ebert comment made above |

"are hummed as prayers in secret, and some put speakers in rooms for people to hear it"
as well as "that old clouds yield"

the chorus is "anna and nathan" as the original says, it is sort of "an-na and na-ha-aa-a, than-an-na and na-ha-aa-a, than-an-na i'm patient"
at least that is how i hear it. |
