Modest Mouse – Heart Cooks Brain Lyrics 12 years ago
Pay attention: Is it "My brain's the weak heart and my heart's the long stairs?" or "Stares?" Physically weak heart and long set of stairs? or emotionally weak heart and long stares at someone?

The Mountain Goats – Blues in Dallas Lyrics 13 years ago
I'm pretty sure this entire song is from the perspective of the man who shot JFK. Deleay Plaza is where the shooter was located. Think about it that way. It destroys you.

Neutral Milk Hotel – The King of Carrot Flowers Pt. 1 Lyrics 16 years ago
The line, "As we would lay and learn what eachother's bodies were for" is not a sexual reference as I have commonly heard it portrayed as. It is referencing the long talks Anne and Peter Schiff used to have upstairs in Peters room. These talks became so frequent that they ended up talking about the changes that both of them are experiencing. Many referring to how eachother's body works and how their differences are made complete in the other.

Neutral Milk Hotel – The King of Carrot Flowers Pts. 2 and 3 Lyrics 16 years ago
The Jesus Christ part, I believe, is a further reference to Anne Frank. In her diary Anne states that she is saddened by the fact that so few people love Jesus Christ these days. Anne Frank was, what we might call, a "Messianic Jew." She believed in Jesus Christ and I think this line is a calling out to Anne saying, "Look! I love Him! Please don't be sad"

The Mountain Goats – Hast Thou Considered the Tetrapod Lyrics 16 years ago
John is obviously trying to portray his stepfather beating him
he talks about his stepfather being angry at him and possibly beating him Dance Music and This Year
he most definately talks about this in other songs
in this song his stepfather is obviously drunk by the line
"You are sleeping off you demons"
John is in his room listening to music and trying to drown it all out
he does this in Dance Music as well
he may be saying that his stereo helps him forget or comforts him

Neutral Milk Hotel – The King of Carrot Flowers Pt. 1 Lyrics 16 years ago
its basically just another song about anne frank
while the narrator has taken the place of Pater (anne frank's lover)
"While we would lay and learn what eachother's bodies were for" that line isnt completely about sex
its a reference to the long talks Anne and Pater would have about the workings of the human body
