the documentary was amazing and answers a lot of questions. like WHY he decided to do another album at all with MVB, am i the only one that misses Bright Eyes? and Simon Joyner was the one who said it would make a great song |

| Conor Oberst – Ten Women Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
this is about CHEATING. ten women came between Conor and whomever he was dedicted to. "Ten women (ten women) Ten women Between you and me Ten women (ten women) Ten women The nightmare and the fantasy Ten women The thrill and the shame Ten women I miss you the same While you're kissing the ring Of some good timing king Ten women A fool I have made" being with ten women was a nightmare because he never thought he could hurt the person he loved like that but at the same time it was a fantasy because he was.. ya know, gettin it on. it was thrilling but he feels ashamed of himself for doing that to his girlfriend (maybe maria???) but he says he misses her just the same. i dunno what the good timing king means but hes made a fool of himself because he lost his girl because of these ten women. "Two faces (two faces) Two faces Two faces you have Two faces (two faces) Two faces Keep one in your bag Two faces From which you can choose Two faces And neither are you Well I'm biding my time Like a cellar of wine With two faces You'll never be true" His girlfriend is two-faced because maybe she has cheated on Conor as well?? And he's waiting for her to change because at this point.. she'll never be true. "One witness (one witness) One witness Is all that I need One witness (one witness) One witness Just someone to see One witness To all that's been done One witness Whose eyes will not run Just someone to shout In this big, empty house One witness To mourn for our love" All he needs is one person to see what has happened to said relationship and mourn for whats been lost "Ten women (ten women) Ten women Between you and me Ten women (ten women) Ten women The glory and the tragedy Ten women To trust and betray Ten women I want you the same It will be like it's been If you come home again With ten women Who have all gone away" the last verse says it all, he still wants her and he's telling her if you come home, we can be like we were again, the ten women have all gone away, they meant nothing to me! |

| Conor Oberst – Big Black Nothing Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
this part: "board up the windows unplug the phone make it look like nobodies home I am very scared but so prepared for the worst" its very strange that i just heard this song today as last night i had a dream that i lived in a country where my family was not allowed anymore, but my baby sister died (i dont have a baby sister in real life) so we went back to our old house secretly because we figured she deserved to be buried in our city but was had to board the basement windows and keep the blinds shut and the lights off, so that no one would know we were there. and we were very scared of the guards finding us. but i love this song i have a feeling its kind of referring to death?? maybe. |

| such a damn beautiful song | |
| Maria Taylor – Time Lapse Lifeline Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Also instead of "I get up, I get up" it sounds like "Back it up" which might make more sense with "stop, fast-forward, rewind." | |
| Maria Taylor – Time Lapse Lifeline Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Keep in mind, they've been an on-and-off couple. She very well could have written this in the midst of one of her and Oberst's more serious breaks. | |
| Elliott Smith – Junk Bond Trader Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
junk is another word used for heroin if this...... "A stickman flashing a fine-line smile Junk bond trader trying to sell a sucker a style Rich man in a poor man's clothes The permanent installment of the daily dose" ........doesn't scream drugs i don't know what does. |

| Conor Oberst – White Shoes Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I think this is him telling this person that he loves them and accepts whatever they want to do or whatever path in life that they choose to take. And whatever they want to do, he's okay with it. This song is absolutely beautiful and at the show my friend went to he said Conor started crying halfway through the song, so maybe it's a bit deeper than I explained it above. |
