| Sufjan Stevens – Barcarola (You Must Be a Christmas Tree) Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| I really like your take on it. I just don't think the dog is the friend, and I think that it's very intentional that Sufjan would say the dog is a she, maybe exactly so we know the dog is not a friend, since the friend is male. This would also give sense to the line when the friend tickles him, and his mother looks away with her hands on her face | |
| A Perfect Circle – Passive Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| IF this is about his mother, the line 'maybe someday I'll walk away' actually makes sense because he did walk away from his mother to live with his father because he couldn't stand his step father and the life he gave him and his mother. I think there is underlined guilt in these lyrics. | |

| Thank you! Enough with everyone saying MJK is making fun of people who believe in religion. He's not that basic | |

My interpretation for this part is that we already live in heaven, (Earth = Eden) and refusing to see that is just ignorance/close mindedness. By attaching ourselves to stupid mundane things invented by us with no use whatsoever, we have blinded ourselves and forgot that this planet already provides us with everything we will ever need. Yet we still fight and destroy each other for the most ridiculous things. 'Don't these talking monkeys know that Eden has enough to go around? Plenty in this holy garden, silly old monkeys,' We have everything we need here, and there's more than enough for everyone. 'Squander the abilityLifting an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here' I think this means that we have so little time here and we don't even thoroughly enjoy it because we focus and want the wrong things. If we opened our eyes (or maybe just the third one) we would see the Paradise that has been given to us, and accept it as a blessing. |

I love what you said and kind of agree but have a slightly different interpretation: I actually imagine the beginning (around 4:00) is the rising of tension, that existed before humans started using violence as a resource. Then the first human killed his brother over some superfluous reason. Now this becomes a way of solving things, and pretty soon everyone's fighting over everything and nothing (Fight over the clouds, over wind, over sky and fight over life, over blood, over air and light, over love, over sun, over another). And after these lines, when the song is really exploding, is probably where we just started using violence as a first resource, without thinking logically about the best solution for any problem. And all this time Angels right beside us have had no other option but to wait on the sidelines, for the stupid mindless violence to end (which will probably never happen), unable to act. |

| Exactly! And the pieces on the ground is the perfect example. Humans have an enormous planet and they fight and kill each over ridiculously small pieces of land. Humans would rather split the land and have half only for them than sharing a bigger piece with someone else. Absurd | |

| Volcano Choir – Almanac Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| This may be the best song I've heard all year. This year has been filled with good music, every year brilliant albums come out and that makes me so happy.. People who say that nowadays there's no good music have no idea what they're talking about | |
| Vampire Weekend – Hannah Hunt Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| this song is really something else.. every time I listen to it I love it more and more. When he screams at the end, there's such raw emotion, I can barely hold back my tears. I fucking love it | |

Hannah Hunt was a girl who sat next to Ezra in a Buddhism class in college. She also happens to be a vocalist in the San Francisco indie pop group Dominant Legs. The band had been working on a version of the song since the time of their first album, but it wasn't until now that they felt they got it right |

Why is there not a comment type called 'lyric correction'? Anyway, this is what I figured out from listening and I'm pretty sure it's correct "Nobody knows what the future holds on Said it’s bad enough just getting old Live my life, they say it’s too fast You know I love the past, ’cause I hate suspense" |

I don't think regret is what he feels about the ending of the first relationship. He was in love with her, but for whatever reason, the relationship stopped working forcing him to end it even though he still had the feelings he believed to be true love at the time. Only to later discover, with this new love, that the old one was never the real deal. It's pretty much the opposite of regret. The line "If I had never let go, then only God knows where I would be know" shows that cutting lose of the early damaging love was the best thing to do. He is now happy, with his lady (new love) and friends. And it's only because he let go of the first mentioned relationship that he was able to reach the happiness he feels now |
