Wilco – Impossible Germany Lyrics	13 years ago
I personally like the interpretation of the person two posts above because it falls in line with typical Wilco sentiments. I think it is a fair interpretation yet I would like to have confirmation by Tweedy as far as the meaning of this song.

A rare occasion where Poetry meets a dead (or open) end in public interpretation. Without further explanation I'm afraid this is open to all interpretations. I would love further explanation.

Wilco – Theologians Lyrics	13 years ago
Tweedy isn't intensely religious, stop quoting scripture. Scripture is interpreted by theologians and they don't know nothing about Tweedy's soul so keep any sort of religious interpretation out of this. This song is simply about suicide.

Wilco – At Least That's What You Said Lyrics

13 years ago

This is my FAVORITE Wilco song. It's about a relationship on the verge of breaking up, in the pain of knowing that there isn't anything that can be done to salvage the relationship yet holding onto a painful hope. The key to this song isn't the lyrics, its the guitar solo. The solo is representative of the fight between the couple. It's layered like the dynamics of a fight between a couple. The beginning is fairly tame but on edge, then it's out of control and heated, and at the end it's somber. The notes portray perfectly the emotions of the fight. The tenuous control over emotions at the start, the rage and desperate explanations, and finally the sorrow and weeping. Listen closely and hear it.

Wilco – I Am Trying to Break Your Heart Lyrics

13 years ago

Jeff Tweedy has dealth with precarious relationships also expressed in songs like She's a Jar and Shot in the Arm. With this in mind, Tweedy is dealing with the complex jaded emotions that come with a messed up relationship. He obviously expresses overdrinking in the first line "aquarium drinker" which is slang for he can drink a LOT. Tongue tied lightning refers to the arguments between couples, and afterwards he expresses the desire to start again. Let's undress like cross eyed strangers. So many of these songs refer to the desire to renew love lost and this song is definitely in line with those. I love this song, Jim O'Rourke did an amazing job producing and the writing is as it always is, from the heart. These songs are amazing because they so honestly express our emotions when we are going through a breakup. The rage, the hatred, the guilt. My FAVORITE Wilco song is At Least That's What You Said, the guitar solo exemplifies a breakup fight better than any words would ever suffice. The raw emotion is beautiful and spinechilling. So many of Wilco's songs are about holding on to a love that's dead. Yet no one expresses the pain so honestly.
