| Quasi – Under a Cloud Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I like your interpretation a lot. One of the better interpretations on here for Quasi. Just the idea of .I've got nothing to hide from you, but there's no reason that I should have to be questioning myself all the time'. | |
| Quasi – The Poisoned Well Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Sam doesn't exist for Elliott. Not every Quasi song about depression, suicide, etc. are about Elliott. Listen to the song for what it's worth people. "We went through hell Just to get to hell Die of thirst of drink up form the poisoned well" Die of thirst or drink up from the poisoned f**king well. It's what the world is all about. Take a look around. |

| Quasi – Smile Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| A wonderful, perfect end to an album. In the end, just f**k it. Smile, and live in the moment. You're not being tortured, or undergoing Chinese Water Torture. | |
| Quasi – Seal the Deal Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Ehhh... not too sure I think it's about making a commitment. I feel it's more prone to be about existing, just living. "You don't have to overcome your confusion. You only have to feel." It seems to me to just be a plead to just feel, to live with emotion and feeling and not try to accomplish all these external meaningless goals. | |
| Quasi – Sea Shanty Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I disagree with the specifics of your interpretation. I think the monkey is the animal nature of man, like you said, however I feel that the ghost is the spiritual side of man, the 'soul'. I don't feel Christianity plays a part in the song at all. I think it represents the battle going on inside all of us, the battle between our animal nature and our 'soul' nature. It all seems to be a take on what its like to have a mind, what goes on as we think and live. The two natures battle each other to try to find which one is the true mind, but in the end, they both just wail. There is no balance between animal nature and spiritual nature, it's just drifting on a sea, encountering "the abandoned vessels of the everyday," society. Now, I'm off to buy Quasi tickets for the NYC 12/20 Knitting Factory show. They go up for sale in..... 2 minutes. |
