| Neutral Milk Hotel – Three Peaches Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| Originally I thought this song was about rape- a mouthful of beautiful lyrics that essentially say "there's nothing to say". It serves a similar purpose in reference to suicide. | |

This is an allusion to deep sea animals, obviously, but the metaphor it contains, in my opinion, is about love. Unconditional, stupid, obsessive love. "In the deepest ocean, the bottom of the sea, your eyes, they turn me." --No matter how shitty my life is, no matter what is on my mind, this girl's eyes are the thing that capture me. Also an allusion to a worm or fish that is attracted to a light designed to attract prey- "your eyes". In the same way, he's metaphorically insinuating that a beautiful girl's eyes are infatuating, captivating, and, once you're lost, can lead you to wherever- to "the bottom", looking for an "escape." "Everybody leaves if they get the chance." "I'd be crazy not to follow, follow where you lead." -Basically everyone wants love, and to be loved. "I'll hit the bottom and escape..." -Even if he follows, thinking that this thing (animal, light, girl, whatever) will set him free, he's going to find himself alone in the abyss, or, even worse, be "eaten by the worms and weird fishes." In short, love seems great until it turns into madness. |
