This isn't necessarily a correction, I just want to point out the fact that "in a sense" could also be "innocence", and there would be no perceivable difference.

Animal Collective – The Purple Bottle Lyrics

14 years ago

There's no doubt in my mind at all after last night that this song is about lean (purple drank). I did it for the first time last night and after an hour or so you break into the most euphoric feeling you've ever had. Unlike with every other drug I've ever done, the feeling is in no way fleeting. In fact it's so stable and long lived that it really does feel like you're in love, whether it be with a person, with the moment, or with the drug itself. This song also goes perfectly with that peak feeling of pure joy and absolutely no worries. I completely agree with the "love song to drank" theory I read in here. While the lyrics do suggest that he's singing to a woman, that woman is simply purple drank personified. I won't explain it since it's all been said before, but I just needed to add in my two cents to back up the people saying it was about drank but have never done it.

I always thought it was "All my WAKING dreams", but yours sounds just as, if not more, plausible. Also, love your user name :D

Haha, I completely agree. Complete with all the side stories, like the hostage situation with Mr Edminton and Mr Lendingworth, and the detective dulllight story, and the hyena cicadas thing.

Primus – Hello Skinny/Constantinople Lyrics

15 years ago

"it's been a good life, Constantinople, but I'm ready" "I'm coming with my head held high" How could any of that be talking about a trip to a non-existent Turkish city? And furthermore, why would someone write a song about planning a trip? Does it not occur to you that your "analysis" didn't even go as far as the face value of the lyrics, let alone taking the lyrics metaphorically. I honestly hope you're five or joking, because that level of ignorance is astounding. Now I personally believe it's about heaven. Constantinople was what I considered heaven, or the afterlife as it may also be referencing. This would be because Constantinople itself is dead and gone. It may also mean God, because it is now inaccessible by any living human and, at one point in history, was an icon of strength and power, much as god is now. "All the leaves are off of the oak and All the sheep have followed the spoken Word" Both seem to symbolize death. The leaves are falling from the dead tree, and the sheep have been slaughtered (the spoken word in that scenario meaning the herder, or whoever it would be, luring them into the slaughterhouse). Though, considering sheep aren't exactly known best for their meat, it could also refer to people following religion, phrased as if a skeptic were speaking of it. "As I stand out in the open All my friends are with you I hope and Pray" I took this to be talking about his vulnerability as he lay dying, and how he hopes he may meet his loved ones in heaven. Toward the end, the spoken lyrics all seem to suggest he's accepted death's embrace and will die with honor rather than kicking and screaming. He's had a full life and knows that it must come to an end. All this being said, I do still think megatom0 made some very valid points about the song and I do not fully reject his theory as many of the conclusions we made are shared.
