| Grizzly Bear – Knife Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This song is clearly about being backstabbed "cant you feel the knife?" or the act of backstabbing someone. I think that "with every blow comes another lie" means that the person who is backstabbing him is saying low awful blows to him or about him that he knows arent true. and when he says "you think its alright?" hes not saying it is alright, hes asking- you think its alright to do this to me? almost in a "i cant believe you think its alright to hurt me this way" :) its a very beautiful emotional and though provoking song. grizzly bear FTW! | |

i feel like he is describing someones first acid trip "oh some evil spirit oh some evil this way comes" may be a reference to himself as the one who influenced the person to try it in the first place.. "they told me how they fear it now their placing it on their tongues" and he is witnessing them try it for the first time despite their fear "oh to see it with my own eyes" repeated througout the song .. this is a thought most would think while experiencing acid. there are just no words for some of the things you see, feel, hear, think. another characteristic of an acid trip is the lack of feeling hungry and wanting to eat food. and when he describes the man sitting at the fold of the tree trunk after not eating or drinking i think of the Buddha meditating near the nile for months.. he may be trying to express the state of pure peace and meditation he is in while tripping and seeing the earth as a beautiful place he may feel like earth is heaven while on acid :) this song is amazing ! |

| Local Natives – Sticky Thread Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| this song is beautiful. best song to listen to with the windows down on a breezy relaxing day. i feel like the observer is in awe of the spider's beauty and he is epiphinistically realizing how hard spiders work, but yet how it doesnt appear that they work hard. i think when he says "we never felt the sticky thread, the spider web" he is saying that he and whoever he thought he loved never got caught up in things together. but he is at peace with this concept. he is finally realizing how hard his (possibly ex) significant other worked to keep their relationship together. and "so much is said without a sound" may refer to the thoughts he is thinking while observing this. his body language, his state of pure blissful "awe" at the web is more than any language could convey. | |
