Grizzly Bear – Fine for Now Lyrics 16 years ago
There was time, it took time. (all the while)

There is time, so much time.
There is time, so much time.

...
The first line in this takes place in the future tense.
The Second and third line take place in the present tense

This touches on the cliche that in the moment things seem to stretch for a very long time (watching a clock, or the timer on the microwave)
But when you look back, it seems like it went too quick.



As for the the rest of the lyrics I would have to say AlfiePark is dead on. Hesitation, or procrastination making him lose what could have been 'Milestone moments'

But I do believe he is talking in future tense because he is wasting time now, but doesnt want to be for fear of losing time.

but i might have tried too hard to make this song about my life

MF Doom – My Favorite Ladies Lyrics 16 years ago
I think it is safe to say this song is about various drugs. Marijuana, coke, LSD, and more.
Doom never really distinguishes where he stops talking about a specific "lady" latter in the song though.

ex.

Mary, you make me wanna eat you
Everytime I see you, it's like the first time I meet you
Frangrance like a flower, subtle and sweet too
...
This is Mary Jane. Smelling sweet like a flower or BUD

Know the right number, you can get her
And hit while you would've sold to the highest bidder like
Fruits and berries, bring daddy loot in a hurry
...
Talking about buying the substance, and using it, and selling it.


So fly, she should be in the sky with diamonds
...
LSD with a reference to the Beatles' "Lucy in the sky with diamonds"


Or something, she made me feel like the number one king
Run into her now, and we still catch a fun fling
Met her out at Central Park this one time
Had the God mentally sparked, reflectin sunshine
...
Talking about how he feels while on acid, and that he still uses it every once in a while.
He then explains where Where he met lucy. 'Reflecting sunshine' is a street name for LSD.


I probably coulda been, if I never meet Eevee
She make me feel all fuzzy inside, it's loco
You won't get nowheres near her if you're broke though
Kept a shorty, can't find 'em much thinner
If caught I get mad time just for touchin' her
...
Eevee is Ecstasy
She Makes me Feel all fuzzy inside describes 'her' effect on him
He explains that She cost alot of money (20 a tab)
He says 'if caught i get mad time just for touching her' this is regarding the drug law with Ecstasy (possession also gives you a charge of attempted manslaughter)


there is alot more
