Dirty Projectors – Impregnable Question Lyrics 13 years ago
Today, I listened to this with my girlfriend, to which she said "We should play this at our wedding."

If there was ever any question that she is my soulmate, that answered it!!

Cold Specks – Holland Lyrics 13 years ago
Sounds very biblical. "We are dust, and to dust we shall all return."

There's a line in the Bible similar to it...

Genesis 3:19

"By the sweat of your brow will you have food to eat until you return to the ground from which you were made. For you were made from dust, and to dust you will return."

I'm not sure if there is a connection, although it definitely feels like there is!

Andrew Bird – Measuring Cups Lyrics 14 years ago
Sigh... I used to think the ending lyrics were

It's different when your older
your penis grows
that's all for questions
now, testicles.

I'm so happy they aren't.

Wow, 3 languages in one song. Après Moi le deluge, which is French, along with the Russian and English.

Jukebox the Ghost – My Heart's the Same Lyrics 15 years ago
Yes, whoever did the lyrics on here was way off. This is a beautiful song and I think the verse about her hair being short is simply extraordinary. Frankly, it pisses me off as to how wrong whomever posted this got it.

Jukebox the Ghost – Beady Eyes on the Horizon Lyrics 15 years ago
It's about the end of the world, pretty much the entire concept of Let Live and Let Ghosts. This is just foreshadowing "Miss Timpletons 7000th Dream." The narrator has dreams haunting him "haunting my dreams like an accident on replay"
Then, in the next verse, it goes on to say "She sees faces in her dreams... strange machines she'd never seen." The "she" in this instance is Miss Timpleton, and the rest is just describing the narrator and her's dream about Judgement Day.
When Miss Timpleton has her 7000th dream, that's when the shit starts going down!

I also really like the lyrics:
And a woman who sincerely believes in UFOs
And who can blame her when the stars are hanging overhead,
dangling by a thread,
Floating ten thousand feet off the ground...

The Streets – Dry Your Eyes Lyrics 15 years ago
"I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
But you've got to walk away now, it's over"

This is exactly how I feel.

Ben Folds – From Above Lyrics 15 years ago
It's about two people, who are soul mates, that walk by each other everyday but don't know it, and eventually they go off and lead their own lives never knowing. Ben Folds and Nick Hornby explained this in an interview...

Love the song! I'm super stoked for this album, looks like it has some nice riffs in it.

The Antlers – Bear Lyrics 15 years ago
Haha, mine as well. Basically anything concerning abortion will make me think of Brick.

The entire album's concept also reminds me of the Ben Folds Five song "Hospital Room"for obvious reasons...

Adam Green – Computer Show Lyrics 15 years ago
I think this is a song about fate. How he falls in love with a girl, and he believes she's the one, because she could have been any where that day and not actually met him. If she hadn't have ever "read the computer magazine to know [she] likes computers, to go to the computer show to see [him] standing there" they would have never met. It could also be about how even the smallest actions impact our lives in the biggest of ways.
