Elliott Smith – King's Crossing Lyrics 15 years ago
i dont know if anyone has said this before, i dont feel like reading 7 pages of comments, but when he says
"It don't matter because I have no sex life
All I want to do now is inject my ex-wife"

heroin isnt his "ex-wife"
he refers to his arm as his ex-wife. as in masturbation. because he said he has no sex life.
that is what that means to me, anyways.

Conor Oberst – Milk Thistle Lyrics 16 years ago
well i immediately thought that a basset hound is a hunting dog, no? hunting dogs are so well trained to stay at your heels until you tell them to go fetch the prey. so "at my heels like a basset hound." as in the character always feels death is very close to them or keeps the idea very close to them.

Headphones – The Five Chord Lyrics 16 years ago
this song is supposedly written about itunes. more specifically, the itunes store. they wanted to sell the full album for 9.99 but they needed one more song, thus mr bazan wrote about writing.

Conor Oberst – Lenders in the Temple Lyrics 16 years ago
to me, the first verse almost sounds like hes criticizing someone's music and their image.
"short delay, parot blues, little voices mimic you" -referring to that persons "sound"
"its not so hard to make that sound" -saying your not doing anything original/significant
and the joan of arc lines could criticize that persons image.

im not saying this is what those lines mean, but thats what i heard when i first started listening to this song.
