Thanks for doing this, I've been obsessed with this song lately. I don't agree with some of this, but I don't have anything better to offer, except for these corrections which I'm fairly sure of: Thinking about the altar(?), places in town That part of us are sure that we haunt I could see a cold moon further every day Peoples laps: Other people's lives Dark goes evening: Dark ghosts hidden in... One of those times I was looking for the stars |

| Mazzy Star – Common Burn Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Not "atoms," believe it's: "Ooh well— haven't I said (or heavens, I said)" And while "times before" would make more sense, I distinctly hear "So many towns before" |

| James Blake – Retrograde Lyrics | 13 years ago |

I hear "the starkness of the dawn" the second time "darkness overgrown" comes around, but I could be wrong. Either way, fucking perfect. |

| The Sea and Cake – Do Now Fairly Well Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
My shot at it, since it seems nobody anywhere else on the internet has cared to try: Up in nowhere Impossible I like to say I've been doing it seems forever But just about nothing Memories taking this fragility How should I say Exhausted and smiling The air Impressive Do now fairly well I'm already saving this perfect [?] I've been doing what seems forever But just about enough A decade of autumns Put away I tell my self A glances come over The secrets are too much Do now fairly well So long [?] I won't memorize (I won't do it) So long [?] I won't memorize (?) And so there's a moment (And so there's a moment) When we look away (When we look away) And I'm doin alright with just enough And I'm doin (?) I feel on nothing And all of the misses I guess we're in trouble now (I won't do it) And I don't wanna say Because I'm bound to see And I'm doing alright with just enough |

the sequence of twisted turns* feeding your kiss* (?) and I don't think it's "caught yourself trying", at least not every time. Could be "hurt yourself for trying" or "fault yourself for trying" |

| Why? – The Fall of Mr. Fifths Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
-What's going on in [The Fall of Mr. Fifths]? It's about a guy that takes girls on the lake and kills them. -Oh really? I didn't realize it was that dark. I used to listen to that song to pick me up.... But that's not really what it's about. That's the story that I'm telling, but eh, yeah... http://www.tinymixtapes.com/features/yoni-wolf-why |

| Fleet Foxes – Bedouin Dress Lyrics | 14 years ago |

My quick interpretation (actually just points to consider): Most of our young lives are spent borrowing/taking from people who support us (parents, family, teachers, friends, etc). His life was given to him but he has not done anything substantial for anyone else/ made life of his own. Also, everything thats been given to him has since "been returned," meaning he's lost it, or (more likely to me) he has freely given it back/gotten rid of it so that he can be "at Innisfree again". I'd never heard of it before, but judging by what other commenters have said I believe it to represent a complete freedom from our materialistic society today (in which, to be a part of it, you must take a lot from other people that you don't have yourself as well) as well as a "going back to nature." Sirens are driving him over the stern, meaning he cant take much more, and his ship is going far too slowly towards Innisfree for his liking. "One day that's mine there" reinforces the idea that once he reaches this place, everything he has will be of his own want and making; no more relying on others as well as having space to his own. Regarding the "Geometric dress gleaming white"... honestly no idea regarding the rest of my interpretation. Considering Spartan3500's interpretation, and the fact that good DMT itself is gleaming white, I believe that could fit in. |

I completely agree with Lemarcke. I'd just like to add that the verse about Charles (Darwin) probably relates to how little time we spend on Earth in the grand scheme of things, and how we experience it. Darwin died over 100 years go (a long time, right?), but a thousand years seem to pass "so quickly." Humans are such a small cog in the machine. I think this album was really overlooked, the care and thought that was put into it is very apparent. It's a great meditation on evolution. |

| Love it. The lyrics are so simple, clever, and (no pun intended) heartbreaking... as most of their songs are. | |
| Liars – Plaster Casts of Everything Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| In the 1972 movie Solaris I think a character mentions going to an alien planet and seeing a garden full of plants and everything is made of plaster. The plot sort of goes along with the lyrics, so I think it's probably a reference to that. Wouldn't recommend the movie though. | |

Wooah k buddy, chill, got it! I completely didn't hear painting the first time, peening means to chip away at something so I thought that might fit. But painting makes sense. Thanks for the correction. |

Pretty sure it's "The Universe will sigh" And it's not "So I lose and start over", could be "So why does it still hurt?" |

| James Blake – I Never Learnt to Share Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Love this song because it seems so simple and childish at first, but when you take another second to think about it you realize his "brother and sister" are actually his peers, and what he never learned to share is his thoughts and feelings. | |
