| Bon Iver – Skinny Love Lyrics
| 14 years ago

I hereby nominate:
"And I'm breaking at the britches
And at the end of all your lines"
...to be the most clever depiction of being metaphorically kicked in the nuts by someone's bullshit, ever. |

| The Disappearing Pencil Trick – There Will Be No Need for a Cover-up Lyrics
| 16 years ago

|
A severely over-the-hill, upper-middle-class, former all-American “King of Suburbia” becomes “suicidal” despite his relatively comfortable life. Although at first the subject is only threatening his own life in-order to test if his family truly cares for him, he soon becomes volatile when his friends and family seem to not be affected by his self-importance. Because of this indifference, the subject finally decides to show his loved-ones his true value to them by following through with his “plan.” |

A shy young woman punishes herself for loving an attractive womanizer (that does not know she exists) by turning to a life of sex and depravity. She does this in the hopes that once her penance is paid through sin, her love will finally notice her. |

| The Disappearing Pencil Trick – Around the Inside Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
The song outlines the pining of a woman who desperately desires a man she cannot have. Due to unexplained circumstances, she has shied away from revealing her feelings for so long that she has lost him or his interest (he is involved with another woman, he got married, moved far away, etc.). She is so crushed by this that she feels only his embrace could console her.
This is where the song comes in, right in the middle of a fantasy that her man has come home to give her the love she has wanted for so long. |

| The Disappearing Pencil Trick – You Always Remember Your First Lyrics

|
A former serial rapist, now a well-off and respected suburban father, remembers first the time he raped and murdered a girl on a whim during his youth. Although he has spent many years consumed with covering up his past crimes in order to live a stable life, he remembers how much he truly enjoyed being evil. He finally allows his middle-class facade to be corrupted, therefore ushering his "true" persona back into the real world. |

Sometimes we feel like life takes away everything that we feel makes us worth living. Sometimes we then learn to live our lives as callous beings. Sometimes we learn to enjoy this lack of compassion. |
