| Neutral Milk Hotel – Gardenhead/Leave Me Alone Lyrics | 15 years ago |

Me too homie.... this is what it is to me... This song is about a relationship that is doomed from the beginning... "We ride roller coasters into the ocean, we feel no emotion" but regardless he is in love and ignores the fact. The change of songs, to me, is when he is realizing the inevitable. 'Leave Me Alone' starts off to me, as the part where he is realizing what he already knew.... that the love he felt was almost commercial, if u will, and that its intimacy was squashed by the evident fact that any male would see her as the perfect woman, and somebody would always be there to give her everything she could ever need. "the glory boys at your bedside will love you as long as there is something to love". The third verse to me is his final plea for a commitment to his love. All in all, I think this song is about falling in love with someone who everyone is looking for, and the inability to show any more popular traits that qualify the everyday male as a suitable life partner, than the bum he knows she will idealize. yeah, im drunk, so what? |
