"no"s is not the word no, it's actually number. Illuminate the NUMBERS on their sides, and decide who's going to heaven and who's going to hell.
Mind you, I could be wrong, please don't say "you're an idiot" it's just my interpretation. |

| Neutral Milk Hotel – The King of Carrot Flowers Pt. 1 Lyrics
| 14 years ago

I think this song is basically about childhood in the nasty world as The Second World War cast a shadow upon the globe. I think the album follows a jewish family. King of Carrot Flowers basically sets the scene; childhood, before they have to hide from the nazis. In the Aeroplane Over the Sea is a bit later, like teens, or something. Then the girl dies in Two Headed Boy, and all the songs after that involve him coping with the loss of her, and their eventual reunion in the afterlife in Two Headed Boy Part two.
You don't have to agree with me, but that's my idea of it. Basically the whole life. This song covers the childhood, all the innocence while surrounded with a world in chrisis. |

I suppose it talks of how badly you ache for a girl you love. And your heart is set so hard on her you can never take it back. And you want to hold her so tight- I know that. It's like you've got a thirst- as if you've drunk loads of salt water. |

this is the world's only happy abortion song. Amanda Palmer is SO AWESOME I LOVE HER!!!! I reckon the merry, loud character of the song symbolises "laughing at the darkness" rather than going and crying in a corner. ("I've seen better days, but I don't care")
I love amanda Palmer. It's a great song. |

pretty good song. I love it! It's like a breather from dark and haunting songs like Sandy Fishnets. I love this album, it's one of my favourite albums of all time. |

| Amanda Palmer – Strength Through Music Lyrics

the song is about the school shootings, hands down. The first verse evades meaning, but the second verse makes it very clear. School children shooting other children- they think it's just a game. They're only playing. They think it's so simple, that they can just go and kill people. They make no sound. Has anyone seen the music video for this song, by the way? The one where Amanda walks down a school corridor, and the corridor fills up with bodies. It was absolutely horrifying to see.
This is a truly brilliant song. |

I always thought that the wings were growing from notches in the spine. I think this means that they're, well- angels- and they're dead. This is the present tense, lacking some of the nostalgia of "King of Carrot Flowers part one" and "Holland, 1945". It's all about WWII, in my opinion. There are lines referring to the dates and also very obvious references. "In the dark, we will take off our clothes and they'll be lacing fingers through the notches in your spine"- that, I think, is a reference to the concentration camps. They take off their clothes, in the dark, and are taken to a dark cramped gas chamber, and murdered. And we can see where that fits in. And this is a love couple, of which the girl died. That's my point of view anyway- you don't have to agree with me. If anyone's got a better theory, I'd love to hear about it. |

| Neutral Milk Hotel – Holland, 1945 Lyrics

I reckon that the first few lyrics seem to match Anne Frank
the only girl I've ever loved,
they buried her alive,
one evening, 1945,
and only weeks before the guns
all came and rained on everyone.
To me, this is about how Anne Frank died only a few weeks before that particular concentration camp was liberated (the guns came and rained on everyone)- and "they buried her alive" is to do with how they put her in a gas chamber underground, and killed her stone dead. Well- potentially Anne Frank, and potentially another Jewish family that were caught up in the war. |
