| TV on the Radio – Tonight Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Carry with bursting order To the options you�ve layed before you The needle, the dirty spoon, the flames and the fumes Just throw them out tonight this is my favorite line, because I've been through this before. "carry with bursting order" the order of preparing to shoot up, the order of addiction ex. use, tolerance, addiction "bursting" because that lifestyle will eventually "burst" or a reference to your viens..idk, i think it's a live fast die young lifestyle so it's bursting. "to the options youve laid before you" is a herion addict has gotten themselves addiction and laid the specific options before themselves which are keep using, detroy their lives and die, or go threw a hell-of-a come down(vomiting, sweating, fainting, flu-like symptoms, etc.) which lasts 3 -7 days but is worth it. "The needle the dirty spoon" is completely a direct line of drug use. (most of this song has underlying meaning so this is just a quicky) "the flames and the fumes" of cooking, what they would have had in brookyln, china white herion. and of course "just throw them out, tonight" stop it |

| TV on the Radio – Blues From Down Here Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Its def. about religion. I agree w mOOdymEllow I mean think of where the band grew up! but I'm adding this: "Well you spared me from slaughter for sure, but these sharks are equally in need of a martyr" Narrator's mother spared him from the church, her fellow church-goers, most likely by sticking up for her son or lying for him but probably not lying cuz it's about morality. These sharks (church goers) are in need of a savior, as she has been for him. "Oh kindess shared Undeserved purest gift, this life you spared" the narrator doesn't deserve the goodness of his mother for her giving him life "undeserved purest gift" |

| Pixies – Where Is My Mind? Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Well overall I'd say anyone who has done LSD, as I'm sure the pixis (and myself) your mind feels like one it's gone and two its swimming. thats the only way you'd hear a fish talking to you. I thought there were angels and demons trapped in the walls when I was tripping. | |
