| I thought he looked for the graves with the camera spinning BEFORE the shootout. He finds what he thinks is the right grave, then The Bad and The Good find him and discover The Good lied about the grave, and thats when the shootout happened. | |

That's what I thought, too. I wonder if those two songs connect to a third as well? "My heart still thumps as I bleed, And all your friends come sniffing" so the woman in the apartment is hurt and confused, being tied up by the sniffing "friend" who is also hurt. "My love, it's very late" the tied woman has to wait a long time for the husband to come back. "Go alone my flower" husband confronts the intruder without the bound woman's help "three guns and one goes off, one's empty, one's not quick enough" bound woman cant do anything, and the intruder is killed. can't connect the following line to the video though. |

| Carissa's Wierd – Ignorant Piece of Shit Lyrics | 14 years ago |

I think this song goes to anyone with a friend or lover, where the friend is putting themselves in a dangerous or compromising situation that they have a false sense of security in, onc in which they are likely to die or have already died. Rendering them as an "Ignorant Piece of Shit". Suicide is described here, and it can be used literally or metaphorically. The song really spoke to me today after discovering my good friend is planning to enlist in the military. "Everyone is getting screwed" Everyone is shook up by war. Everyone is affected by loss. "Well if the shoe fits then put it on Wear it like a crown" If you think this duty is your calling then by all means carry it on. "I cant believe you called Just to say that you were coming down" can't believe you're telling me this. you are going to die. "I like the way you roll your eyes Right before you fall down" "I like" could be ironic, or the last longing feeling for them to stay alive right before they die. the images of their death play in your mind already. |

Aside from my previous reply, I feel like this song can also be talking about suicide. "I need another reason why I need another reason tell me to breathe" just does it for me. And then I've got friends in all the right places (can be referring to dead friends. or could just oddly be naming his motives/inner voices/thoughts "friends") I know what they want and I know they don't want me to stay (feeling unwanted. Maybe lack of self worth?) iunno. I wouldn't lean too much faith on this idea. I just read it pretty openly. |

| pretty much how I interpreted it. Honestly couldn't see the drug or relationship bits until I saw people's comments. They work with the lyrics but it doesn't really fit the tone of the song/voice to me (idunno, I can't really picture him screaming in lament over drugs). But yeah I fell into this dark period one time where I thought my friends were abandoning me and I could completely relate with the song. | |

Okay, those lyrics are exactly the same as the original Velvet Underground version. They need to be adjusted. Because I couldn't find any sites with accurate DEVOTCHKA lyrics, I went and did some editing of my own. Should be fairly accurate if you actually listen along with the song: Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather Shiny leather in the dark Whiplash girlchild, you surely don't foresake him Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart Downy sins of your streetlight fancies You chase the costumes that she would wear Ermine furs adorned imperiously Severin, Severin awaits you there I am tired, I am weary I could sleep for a thousand years A thousand dreams that could awake us Different colors made from your tears I kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather Shiny leather in the dark Tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart Oh Severin, Severin, you speak so slightly Severin, down on your bended knee Taste the whip, in love not given lightly Taste the whip, and plead for me I am tired, I am weary I could sleep for a thousand years A thousand dreams that could awake us Different colors made from your tears |
