| Okkervil River – (Shannon Wilsey on the) Starry Stairs Lyrics | 14 years ago |

To me this song is about giving too much to something, to where you feel like you've lost part of yourself. The lines, "they ask for more" and "they ask for blood", feel to me like this sentiment of "they are asking too much of me". And the line "I'm alive, but a different sort of alive, than the way I used to be" seems to be another way of saying, I've lost a part of myself. This symbol of the pornstar then can stand in for a lot of other ideas. I think a relationship can feel like that, when you give too much of yourself to them and they don't return it - "if you don't love me, I'm sorry" Thats my take on it. |

| No, she don't worry all those murders of crows is right. Worry as in bother. The idea here is that this dog, or animal used to chase after crows and scatter them, now that she is weak and slow the crows don't fly away any more, but she doesn't have enough enthusiasm to care. | |
