also, it may be a bit of mockery because he says "Some say."
but then, he says "so say..." interesting and complicated song, so genius!

The Horrors – Sea Within a Sea Lyrics 15 years ago
I basically think this song is about life and death, and how they hold similiar aspects, hence "Sea within a sea" our journey never really ends.... the seven seas are connected and very massive, so you find one, but then here comes another...

Agree with burncity, but my opinion of this:
and sanctuary found never waits around awhile

Marching to the sea
their dreams stay in the shadows
their dreams stay firmly rooted in the shallows

is a bit different.


and sanctuary found never waits around awhile= if you do find whatever you're looking for, it never stays for a long time so you move on to the next sanctuary...

Marching to the sea
their dreams stay in the shadows
their dreams stay firmly rooted in the shallows= most people never have their dreams come true, and die with them never coming true. their way to death= "marching to the sea" ....
their dreams stay behind (and maybe others will have the same as them)
Basically, when we die.... our dreams don't come with us, they stay far behind in the roots in the shallows..


the echoes in the end are haunting and beautiful, like life and death, and how the song just dies out slowly and quietly is great. the music composition and lyrics just work so well together. this would be a great song without either/or.
Hope it made sense!

Fleet Foxes – He Doesn't Know Why Lyrics 15 years ago
"I was looking at you there and your face looked wrong
Memory is a fickle siren song
I didn't understand" reminds me of being a little girl, seeing my mom's face with with worry but i didn't know what i could do. i didn't understand. i could be wrong but it sounds like being a young son and the mom having to face with something and being confused about her situation. he feels hopeless.

he is also hypnotized/amused at what he is seeing. "i'd be crazy not to follow" kind of saying the regular thing to do is... following beautiful things or what society does.

i think in this song thom describes himself as this thing constantly being... ah whats the word... well people may try to manipulate him? kind of complaining. when he says
"Everybody leaves
If they get the chance
And this is my chance" he notices people starting to leave and he knows he can to. the last verses are quite powerful really.
"Yeah I
I'll hit the bottom
Hit the bottom and escape" he's explaining what he'll do once he's out, free.

and I feel like 'Turn away fallen on the inside from your sky' is showing this person is acting differently; irregular.

Nirvana – Breed Lyrics 16 years ago
i think he's talking to the girl and saying they can do this, and this and this, and he doesn't care as long as theyre together (more or less) so in a way im leaning towards 4xeno.
i mean i always say i dont care where i am, as long as im with you.

maybe he called it breed because they ARE MAKING a new way of life for them....

Muse – Undisclosed Desires Lyrics 16 years ago
"You trick your lovers that you're wicked and divine" just automatically gives away that this woman is deceiving....she wants to have all the men think she's this and that so they stay away. but the guy wants to help heal her....and that she will be his.

not really.... I mean, supermassive black hole is about sex. and I believe this song is about this girl whot ricks men into thinking she's wicked, and she used to a be a horrible person fucking everyone. he doesn't care, he wants to do everything for her she's always wanted to have done to her (non sexually and sexually). he wants to heal her.

I FINALLY GET IT. so basically, this significant other told this other person that they aren't allowed to be sad. so when he says
"I'll smile for you now 'cause you're sad
but I'm not allowed to be sad" ... hes saying that whenever he sees this other person sad, it makes him sad because he loves her so much... but he's not allowed to be sad, get it?! :D im pretty sure thats it.
