Devendra Banhart – Cripple Crow Lyrics 17 years ago
"While we pay for mistakes with no meaning
All your gifts and all your peace is deceiving"

That statement rings very true to me.

I think the song is just kinda saying, Relax, all your sins dont really matter, just be peaceful and we'll all be ok.

Devendra Banhart – Little Yellow Spider Lyrics 17 years ago
I agree with Cd Phatty.
We look at animals as being less intellegent than us, but for all we know, they're spirtually ahead of us. Perhaps they relealize that money, power, etc, have nothing to do with happiness.

I also think this song has a lot to do with reincarnation.
"It's kinda strange, the way you change
But then again, we all do too"

Devendra Banhart – An Island Lyrics 17 years ago
I think this song is about transending into the world(Hopefully that makes sence. Where, "your eyelash was an island, and your eye was someones friend". The idea that everything was something before it was something else; or simply reincarnation. As far as, "I smell my sister in the winter and my father in the fall", this is probably about nature rather than actuall people. We all were grown from the earth, therefor we are all family.

Devendra is a psychedelic Guru.
