| The Tallest Man on Earth – King of Spain Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| pitchfork characterized this song as "an ode to the transformative powers of love" and mentions "notes of celebration and excitement", but i get quite a different vibe - a skeptical one, an element of miscommunication. given lines like "i never knew i was your lover", "but while we're floating in siestas, you search for bottles and for knives", after having mentioned provoking bulls with words and a fountain of lies (bottle being something that contains water), "why are you stabbing my illusion?", and "because you named me as your lover, well, i thought i could be anything", i wonder if this song is directed towards someone that isn't enough for him, or tries to boss him around too much? | |
