Sufjan Stevens – He Woke Me Up Again Lyrics 15 years ago
Actually Sufjan says at one of his performances that this song is about being woken up in the middle of the night by his parents when they came up with ideas.

you can hear him say it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr5Q5UJ0udw&feature=related

Beirut – Elephant Gun Lyrics 15 years ago
i agree that i don't think it's "it rolls right on."

anyway i think the song is about wanting to go out and change something/make a difference/help someone etc, but not really being young or adventurous enough.

"far from home, elephant gun, let's take them down one by one" -all this exciting, terrible stuff is happening, but he's safe in his little home

"we'll lay it down, it's not been found, it's not around" -everyone is sort of pretending that everything's okay or pretending there's nothing they can do about it

"and it rips through the silence of our camp at night" -but as much as they try to pretend everything's fine, they can't ignore what's going on

"all that is left is all that (i hide?) -he's still cowering, just holding onto whatever little bit of solace he has left.


that's just my opinion. it's probably about a specific event, but i'm not into history, so i wouldn't have a clue what it was.

Animal Collective – Who Could Win a Rabbit Lyrics 16 years ago
although i think maybe animal collective doesn't actually want us to know what the real lyrics are, or maybe they don't know for themselves either, this is what i hear:

hungry bread and butter hustle
you'd be doin it a while it was only fair
where's your relaxation
where's the time required for your health
been hatin on my new perspective
been hurrying along no meal was never done
you could win a rabbit, you could have a rabbit or a rib
it's a fast track
it's gonna have a dead end
we could get him started yeah
that might let me put on good habits
been workin and put on good habits
sometimes i can't find my good habits
spinach bacon on the eggo
persian kitty better
stay out of the train
glad you brought your food on
eat it like it's gonna get away
your coffee sure is gettin colder
the seats are getting fewer
space is losing place
you could win a rabbit
you could know what happens in the riddle
a rabbit or a habit
habit or a rib


whatever the real lyrics are, i think the meaning of the song is just that running away from a bad habit doesn't necessarily mean you're making a good habit.
