Modest Mouse – Edit the Sad Parts Lyrics 11 years ago
This to me is about my older brother who recently passed.. the lyrics seem to switch from him(my brother) and me narrating.. The biggest line from this song that hits home is "I made my shoe shine with my coal, but the polish didn't shine the hole" I'll never replace my brothers hole. No matter how much I prep and shine myself.. theres always going to be a piece of me missing..

I'm pretty sure it is "I don't want to believe HER, I want to believe you"

Death Cab for Cutie – Talking Bird Lyrics 11 years ago
Ben has been notoriously shallow when it comes to his choice of women. He explains this vividly in "Tiny Vessels". I think this song is a reflection of himself intertwined with the "stupid" women he choses. I think he feels like he is captive to the women that fall prey to him. I could be wrong, but I totally relate to this..

Neutral Milk Hotel – Naomi Lyrics 13 years ago
This song in my mind is definitely about a stripper.

"Your prettiness is seeping through
Out from the dress I took from you, so pretty"

-since she is a stripper he "took her dress" by paying her to take off her clothes

"And my emptiness is swollen shut
Always a wretch i have become
So empty and please please don't leave me"

- usually how people feel when the go to strip clubs


"I'm watching Naomi, full bloom"

- shes nude (cuz shes a stripper)

"I'm hoping she will soon explode
Into one billion tastes and tunes"

- Metephor for what he expects sex with her to be like

"I'm tasting Naomi's perfume
It tastes like shit and I must say"

- he is getting a lap dance or private dance

"She comes and goes most afternoons
One billion lovers wave and love her now
They could love her now and so could I"

- she has a fanbase at the strip club.

I also see that it could be about him stalking a famous person.
but i like the strip club idea better.
He is lonely and wants love and attatches himself to a stripper
