Animal Collective – Safer Lyrics 15 years ago
My friend's interpretation of this song is that it's political. We think it's about terrorism and the aftermath of 9/11. Read it with this context, and it makes sense.

P.S. I'm sick of people describing every AC song as a drug trip.
Sure, they make trippy music, but it's not necessarily all about drugs, they can write about other things too!

Animal Collective – Daily Routine Lyrics 16 years ago
I think this song describes Panda Bear living through his whole daily routine (taking his daughter to school or the playground) and then waking up to realize it was all a dream and the day hasn't even started yet. When he finally wakes up, his energy is already drained, so he keeps pleading for "just a sec more" in his bed.
The transition from dream to real life is extremely accurate and well defined. Everything slows down and the bells in the background start to resemble an alarm clock.
