Built to Spill – Out of Site Lyrics 14 years ago
My favorite song from the album as well.

I think Uncle Bengi and I have the same interpretation. The opening verses point to someone whose experiences have caused them to be the person they are. The final line makes me wonder if the song is concluding that people don't really change.

"It goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on..."

Will the subject of the song who "brings people down" ever stop doing so? And if so, can we really blame them?

Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks – Jenny and the Ess-Dog Lyrics 14 years ago
Yeah, the ending of a relationship, especially one in which they "kiss when they listen to Brother in Arms" or use "baby talk voices," is sad to me too. I agree with you.
