"Greeted by the scent of a bum smellin' something like beer, barf, and dung' and in the backround he goes [ugh] |

"She offers me a square, I decline the invitation" what does this sentence mean? |

"Poison oak, some boyhood bravery When the telephone was a tin can on a string And I fell asleep with you still talking to me You said you weren't afraid to die" childhood memories with a friend, brother, cousin whatever, details of that sort don't matter. last line being a hint to the later on suicide. "In Polaroids you were dressed in women's clothes Were you made ashamed? Why did you lock them in the drawer?" everyone seems to be positive that this means someone is gay, but doesn't anyone think maybe he's still talking about childhood memories? i mean, maybe they're just pictures from when he was little playing dress up or something, and when he was older he was made ashamed by them. "And I don't think that I ever loved you more Than when you turned away When you slammed the door When you stole the car and drove towards Mexico And you wrote bad checks just to fill your arm" conor loves him because of his bravery and recklessness in these lines. but there's always the question of why he ran away. maybe he really was gay, and he needed to get away... apparently to mexico? also, the fact that he says 'the car' and not 'a car' leads me to believe that it was their car, so they might've lived together... so maybe it is about a brother? inless he lives with his cousin. "I was young enough, I still believed in war" this line can make self explanatory sense, but i'm completely puzzled as to how it has anything to do with the rest of the song. "Let the poets cry themselves to sleep And all their tearful words could turn back into steam" meaning, their words are ignored, and eventually just dispear? "But me, I'm a single cell on a serpent's tongue And there's a muddy field where a garden was" i'm with the garden of eden theory on this one. he's a single cell because he's just once tiny contribution to the evil. why on the tounge? good question. the garden is the garden of eden, but things became muddy when the subject of this song dies. "And I'm glad you got away, but I'm still stuck out here My clothes are soaking wet from your brother's tears" the subject is dead. the only thing that leads me to believe that maybe it was a suicide is that conor says he's glad.. but i think the subject of this song was unhappy so even if it wasn't suicide, then it still a relief. but who knows, maybe he had a drug overdose, or crashed the car on the way to mexico. people are saying he's referring to himself as 'your brother' but in the begining of the same sentence he refers to himself as 'my' so that theory doesn't exactly fit. "And I never thought this life was possible You're the yellow bird that I've been waiting for" i think yellow bird is supposed to be a sign of hope. it fits we are nowhere and it's now, also. when he says he didn't think this life was possible, who knows. maybe he's talking about being in love, or being happy, or whatever, but either way he's saying the subject of the song is what gave him hope to believe that, that life was possible. "The end of paralysis, I was a statuette Now I'm drunk as hell on a piano bench And when I press the keys, it all gets reversed The sound of loneliness makes me happier" when he says paralysis i think he just means the end of.. ignorance? statuette meaning he's small insignificant... stuff of that sort. and conor oberst likes to be miserable. i don't believe this news to most people. |
