Black Star – Definition Lyrics 16 years ago
this was written after biggie and tupac were shot. black star is talking about defining or redefining hip hop which is why is called DEFINITION. Talib says
Let me meditate, set it straight, came to the conclusion
that most of these cats is featherweight, let me demonstrate
Walkin the streets is like battlin, be careful with your body
You must know karate or think your soul is bulletproof like Sade
Stop actin like a bitch already, be a visionary


he is talking about all those shit rappers out there who front about being legit and they set up these feuds that take away from what hip hop is about, truth saying. He says stop starting these bitchy feuds and rap about what matters.

Arcade Fire – Neon Bible Lyrics 17 years ago
i think it is more about how the bible if understood can be a force for good "vial of hope" and if not it can be very destructive "vial of pain". some people try to interpret the bible and they instead fail and create more evils
"Oh, you lost it, but you don't know how!
In the light of a golden calf"
if you interpret it wrong then it not only destroys others, but yourself with
"It's the Neon Bible, the Neon Bible
Not much chance for survival
If the Neon Bible is right"

but thats just me.

Neutral Milk Hotel – Communist Daughter Lyrics 17 years ago
He uses a lot of alliteration in this song. with the repetition of s sounds, like

S weet communi s t
The communi s t daughter
S tanding on the s eaweed water
S emen s tain s the mountaintop s
S emen s tain s the mountaintop s

also he uses cs and bs with

c ars c areening from the c louds
the b ridges b urst and twist around

he uses this and some sketchy rhyme patterns and saying every line in one breath to bring everything together into a flowing melancholy, depressing mood that fits with the lyrics.
But that's just what I think.
