So the hymns that I sung Prayers for the fucked, from a bitter, forked tongue Sing of history now This is just a remarkable and satisfying line in so many ways. Man, I miss him. |

| Frightened Rabbit – The Modern Leper Lyrics | 5 years ago |

He's got all the things a cripple has not working arms and legs made me laugh out loud first time I heard it because it was just so irreverent You should sit with me and we'll start again And you can tell me all about what you did today What you did today Cutting. The melody in the last words. This is what you do when you love someone who isn't ill. You try over and over to silence the abstract bullshit in your head, try to keep from spreading it and shut up about it and listen to them talk about their trip to the grocery store or their day at work. And you know it's important even though it feels empty. Because it's important to them. And when you slip and let too much out, the guilt of it bites you... let's just start over...tell me about your day |

| I always interpreted this as being about suicide and then changing your mind, and deciding to keep swimming. Beautiful song...I'm sure it has a couple layers of metaphor. | |
| Frightened Rabbit – Foot Shooter Lyrics | 5 years ago |
| This song singlehandedly kept me alive at one point. Not for any particular reason except it was really catchy and clever and was stuck in my head constantly in the lowest point of my life when I was hospitalized. And I was like oh ok, I'll keep living to hear this song in my head I guess, that's kind of satisfying. I am not joking lol. Thanks Scott | |
| Frightened Rabbit – Living in Colour Lyrics | 5 years ago |

Though i dreamt with a rapid eye By day i hope to rapidly die And have my organs laid on ice Wait for somebody that'll treat them right But as the night starts swallowing You put the blood to my blue lips Forced the life through still veins Filled my heart with red again Heard this for years but heard it again today and the meaning actually sunk in. "And have my organs laid on ice Wait for somebody that will treat them right" --> Referring to donating organs after you die and hoping someone else will respect them better than you did. God. I can't say I've never felt this way before. Depression is such a multi layered thing--even as you're in the depths you're still conscious and there's also that grief/guilt of abandoning yourself and your body, over and over. But I never could have put that exact feeling in such a short and evocative line. How can you explain such a particular kind of sadness in only two lines--i dunno. He did it. Oh man Scott. I miss you. I love this song, it's so hopeful. Wonder if rapid eye refers to REM. Living in your dreams, then waking up and not wanting to live in real life. |

Contrary to some opinions, I love this. It's honesty in it's purest form, almost overwhelming, but she makes it beautiful. The violin kills me. |
