I agree with you, but I think the last line is about god. he's always looking for "that answer" (It's no secret that I hunger for someone who feed the answer) and that is probably god - he doesn't know if she (!) is a genius (look at his wonderful world) or insane (look at this fucked up world)

first, the one who are claiming this track is weak - you obviously don't know slug as half as you think you are. It's slug like he's been ever since - ambiguous and metaphorical. so shut up and rant somewhere else.

I think it's related to both - sex and drugs.
picture a hole, put your HERO IN
envision the gold
now zero in

<<< could be about a dick or a needle

Been watching your night train track for the last few stops
With no desire to hop it

<<< could be about the addiction of the girl, and he doesnt want to use this drug too. or the girl is a whore, and he knows that, so she had many lovers and he has never felt like he wants to "hop on her"


How did we end up in your apartment

<<< so now he got seduced.

Pocket full of gossip says this ain�t smart


<<< one of his name is "smart" so maybe that line is about people thinking he's 1, to good for that girl 2, off drugs

When it�s all said and done, can�t get restart
But I�ll be damned if I don�t wanna kiss you--
Hard

<<< 1, he doesnt do drugs anymore so no way for restarting 2, he thinks about the future and knows there is no such with that girl

The same negative game to the names you martyr

<<< heroin

Apart from the details and substance and whatnot
That hunger of love pistol and gut rot

<<< self destruction

Bloodshot
Give me one shot, my shot
Hopped up on enough talk to make time stop

<<< now he did it, though he should have known better 1, sex with whore 2, heroin

The lines of chalk that benjamin might cop
Killed the illustrations on the neighborhood sidewalks

<<< don't know maybe about coke

Then all of a sudden she got silent
Pupils like marbles, hide behind the eyelids
Get away sticks go limping hole place

<<< heroin - "get away sticks", could be about a orgasm to because of the hidden pupils like marbles and after the orgasm she or he hates the other person again and want her/him to leave

Swallow my words
No more judgment it�s true
Cuz you look like what I feel like when I�m with you

<<< now after the sex/drug abuse he can't be anymore judgemental about her, and he pitys her because she looks fucked up, and that's the way he feels when he's with her

Atmosphere – A Song About A Friend Lyrics 14 years ago
i think it's about a girl that he has become attracted to over the years, and now he's falling in love with her
(maybe it's hix ex too) but she doesn't really want him, he just plays with him, and wants him to want her.
now they can't even be friends.

Atmosphere – Always Coming Back Home To You Lyrics 15 years ago
All the way to the grave � Southside is my resting place

Took a ride on Lyndale, I�m gettin� near
But then the road became empty, and the people disappeared
The clouds ran away, opened up the sky
And one by one, I watched every constellation die
And there I was � frozen � standin� in my back yard
Face to face, eye to eye � starrin� at the last star
I should have known, walked all the way home
To find that she wasn�t here, I was still all alone


--> after thinking a bit more I came to the conclusion that maybe the last part is about dying, he's taking a ride on lyndale (maybe his life) and it getting near (near death, near to god) but then the road becomes empty, and the people disappeared (you die alone, there's noone to accompany you on that path)
the clouds ran away opened up the sky -> he can see clear now, no more problems (clouds) (think of "I wanna be burried with a package full of clarity on LOVELIFE)
he's standing frozen in his backyard -> face to face, eye to eye starring at the last star (emphasis on the "last" maybe the last star he is able to see could be the "light at the end of the tunel" too maybe.

"I should have known, walked all the way home --> life, walking, life path -> home to the creator = god
To find that she wasn�t here, I was still all alone" --> she's not here, maybe there's is no god


No matter where I am, no matter what I do
I�m always coming back home to you ----> whatever you do, good or bad stuff (he had the opportunity to be bad, gun, robbing etc.) you will always come back home -> in the end we all die

They can leave me for dead, they can take away my true
I�m always coming back home to you --> dead

Through the lies and the sins that ride the wind that blew
I�m always coming back home to you--> no matter what people say about death i.e. the church - you die

As sure as the life in the garden that you grew ---> as sure as you live
I�m always coming back home to you

If only I had known what you already knew --> god knows hat

Atmosphere – Wooden Ships Lyrics 15 years ago
And she's killin' me again.
It's the same old tale.
I've been murdered a million times.
Some how I keep coming back to life.
Same mountain, I continue to climb.

i think that the "killin" is a metaphor for "getting an orgasm" -> murdered a million times, so they still have sex maybe though they're not "together" anymore. and he's always coming back to life. The mountain is a sisyphos-metaphor..

Atmosphere – Modern Man's Hustle Lyrics 15 years ago
Trying to hookup a full belly and a foot rub
The modern man's hustle I dig it, I shuffle
Feed me your troubles and need me to cuddle (come on)

maybe "hookup" is also a bit of a pun (hooker)
he wants to love her not just to fuck her -> get something to eat, rub her feet oder get his feet robbed and he wants her to need him to CUDDLE -> not just fucking

Atmosphere – Modern Man's Hustle Lyrics 15 years ago
I think it's about a prostitute:

The first time I met the devil was at a motel 6
She left hell to spend her weekends on earth just for kicks
Sexy little bitch, shorter then expected
About 5 foot 5, didn't fit in the breast and thighs
Beautiful dark eyes, a strong stare
Large lips, soft hands and long hair

they meet at a motel and she's shorter than expected. why? also the describing part sounds a bit like he's talking about a prostitute.

Break it all smash the past like it was made of glass
Aint no other way to make it last

maybe he's in love with her but he can't deal with her job so she has to "hold on to anyone that wants you
And I will love you through the simple and the struggle"

Hush little lady don't say a word
All the rest of the village gonna know you're disturbed --> maybe because it's a small town
And if you let them know that you're vulnerable --> it's not "ok" to be a prostitute
Then there aint no stopping how far they open you slow (yo yo yo)
I'm a chapter in yout text book read me like a checkbook --> money = prostitute
Mistook love at first site for a sex look = sex look = prostitute, maybe now he's in love with her

She doesn't want to understand why I still come around
She look at the mirror she don't see what I see
She holds no history of how precious she be
Lay your head on my chest, speak of the stress
Kick your feet up and rest, before we clean up the nest
I hate to see you upset it cramps the position ---> here again, she wonders why he still comes around, she don't believe he actually likes HER, he wants her to speak of her stress (the job as a prostitute)

Atmosphere – Fuck You Lucy Lyrics 15 years ago
it does make sense though in the other lines and especially in those: But the problem is I love you Lucy
So instead I'ma finish my drink and have another
Well you think about how you used to be my lover

he has "another" (drink) - WHILE you think about how you used to be my lover.. ok I'm confused now..

Atmosphere – Always Coming Back Home To You Lyrics 15 years ago
maybe when he says "I'm still all alone" and doesn't find "her" it's cause no matter what he does, in that case good things because he has opportunities to be bad but refuses and he's always turning back to the "good person" he is no matter what
"If only I had know what she already knew" could relate to his mother, maybe because she always knew that he's a good person. "they can take away my true.." and so on..

just some thoughts...

Atmosphere – Always Coming Back Home To You Lyrics 15 years ago
I like your interpretation.

"One thing I've noticed here is how he mentions that he is "in his back yard" but then says that he "walked all the way home", was he not home already if he was in his backyard?."

I think the line about "walked all the way home" just sums up the "uselessness" of returing and finding out there's nobody there not the walked home after standing in his backyard?

Atmosphere – Trying To Find A Balance Lyrics 15 years ago
when I first heard this song, I thought a lot about the "god bless america, but she stole the b from bless" line and thought It actually means (without the stolen letter B) = godless america

does someone know what these lines "You wait for the car at the corner
Pretend like you know what the plot is
Won't quit till I hit California
And make you my Golden State goddess" are about?

Atmosphere – Wooden Ships Lyrics 15 years ago
I think it's about an on-and-off relationship or a relationship with his ex "It's the same old tale.
I've been murdered a million times"

Back and forth between my cigarette and her clitoris.
I'm workin' on both like it's nobody's business.
Such an odd way to gain god's forgiveness. - I guess "god" is his girl like in god's bathroom floor.. would also say the hook refers to jefferson airplane, water as an metaphor for his deep feelings...
