of Montreal – The Party's Crashing Us Lyrics 13 years ago
This song makes me think of what my dog would sing to me, if he could.

You're such a mystery, I just want to stand and stare.
Nibble on your ear, and smell the ocean in your hair.

[My dog loves going to the dog beach. He also stares at me the whole way there.]

I know you damage me, you leave me tangled in a knot.
But when you reappear, I see neptunian blues that eyes forgot.

[He doesn't like to be separated from me (we currently live apart), but when I'm home to visit he remembers what it was like to see me.]

Still I only feel alive when the VU is flashing, alarms going off in my head.
I want to grab you and just kiss you maybe I should sit down, no sense of cashing us now.

[VU = volume unit. We always listen to music on the way there, which he seems to like. We also have a problem with him trying to kiss me while I'm driving, which results in me telling him to sit down.]

Yeah I'll only feel alright when the VU is flashing and bombs going off in my head.
I want to grab you or just scream at you no icing me down, the party's crashing us now.
[
(Same as before, but screaming = barking, and icing him down = calming him down.]

Oh well we made love like a pair of black wizards.
You freed me from the past, you fucked the suburbs out of me.

[Black wizards could symbolize our unique/magical bond. The second line refers to the fact that I rescued him from a kill shelter.]

Oh well those ugly days that made us so sick.
They are just fossils now, we've learned the elevating trick.

[Times have changed for us both in a positive way. We now know the trick to "elevating" or being happy.]
