| Death Cab for Cutie – Expo '86 Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Anyone else ever associate this with the Beatle's "Helter Skelter?" "when I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide" - an ex of mine posted this as his status when our relationship seemed like it was going nowhere, repeating the same problems. and then I wanted to post Deathcab's sadder version of those same lyrics. Sometimes I think this cycle never ends We slide from top to bottom and we turn and climb again And it seems by the time that I have figured what it's worth The squeaking of our skin against the steel has gotten worse |

| The Weakerthans – The Prescience of Dawn Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I didn't understand the "with these documents and kindergarten anthems, with my drunken liturgies" part for the longest time, but like most Weakerthans songs... meaning came with time. I think these Anopholes was pretty close. "I don't want a second chance to turn my stuttering reluctance into romance.." What does one, especially a writer, do if he is in love but reluctant? writes documents (poems, songs.. etc), kindergarten anthems = childish announcements of love (?)... and my personal favorite.. drunken liturgies = when you're boozed up, no inhibitions, hyperbolically confessing your love or whatever else it is. More so though, as said above, the focus isn't just relationship romance necessarily. The main point is a surrender to life. a withdrawal. Selador, your comment added such a deeper meaning to this song for me. thank you. | |
