| The Shins – Caring Is Creepy Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
We spend our whole lives worrying rather than living. This song tells us to let go and just live. "One day I'll be wondering how I got so old just wondering how I never got cold wearing nothing in the snow" The speaker is getting old wondering about something that doesn't matter and then getting even older wondering how he got so old. |

| The Dandy Warhols – Big Indian Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I agree with what you guys are saying about how it's about leaving old friends and going to new places. But what I truly love about this song is the optimistic tone. "The future is frightening but i feel fine." There is no denying that the future is frightening for everybody, but what I take from this song is that we can't worry too much about the future. We simply have to live in the present. I think he "feels fine" because A) he knows his old friends will be there for him and B) there is no point in worrying about the future. Because, like his old man told him, "you only get older." If we look at life as a constant quest for this wisdom that we are somehow going to find with age, we are missing out on the best things in life. We live for today and just feel fine. | |

| These are all lovely interpretations, but could somebody explain to me what they think he means when he says, "I wonder why we listen to poets when nobody gives a fuck how hot and sorrowful this machine begs for luck." | |
