| Blind Pilot – Three Rounds And A Sound Lyrics | 16 years ago |

In the left speaker he says "I was swimming" And in the right speaker i hear the word "sleep" Its easier to hear with headphones. And as a side note, in the next line, the right speaker says "woke," instead of "woke me," like the left one. But its just an effect, that's why it sounds fuller when he comes in on that verse. When good artists and good producers record an album in the studio the use little tricks so people will hear different things when they listen. Its called double tracking (singing the same part twice, but slightly different) and panning (moving the sound to a different place in the speaker). And the result is a good song with many different interpretations. |

| Blind Pilot – Oviedo Lyrics | 16 years ago |

sux4uu Its just a metaphor. The peacocks are the people in the streets. The verse starts out as "the lights here are softer than you'd think, the dim lit peacocks in the street..." then your favorite part. "They're hiding their eyes and their beauty, like me But if my eyes were on my back I know what I'd be looking at Through every shade of brown and green" The only peacocks with the beautiful brown green [and purple, but its hard to rhyme with purple] feathers are male peacocks. And male peacocks only show their feathers when they're trying to mate with female peacocks. (And the feather kind of look like eyes, and they're on its back) So... So for me, the entire song is a reflection on messing up an opportunity to sleep with a girl he liked in Oviedo, Spain, because he couldn't show her his inner beauty (like a peacock does), because he was probably nervous around her, and he was "hiding [his] eyes and [his] beauty" from her. Both literally, by not being able to stare into her eyes, and figuratively, because metaphors work better in songs than detailed explanations. But that's just what it feels like for me. I could be wrong. |
