Andrew Bird – Fake Palindromes Lyrics	13 years ago
God, I just got done reading some of the explanations for Nervous Tic and I thought that was dark! Oh how my brain is deceived by upbeat tempo and major keys...

Andrew Bird – A Nervous Tic Motion of the Head to the Left Lyrics	13 years ago
Wow. That's quite an intimate understanding of the song. Definitely darker than I imagined it's meaning to be, but there's a profound logic to your explanation. Thanks for that, and for the depressed state this dawning realization has caused me. Though, humbly, I should add that I only know my own pain.

Sorry, I'm guessing you know that, but I figured I'd supplement that comment just in case the guy who thinks it stands for mushrooms and ecstasy bothered to read it. No disrespect meant.

Andrew Bird – MX Missiles Lyrics	13 years ago
MX Missiles are thermonuclear devices. It's hyperbole to emphasize the degree to which some people seem immortal. If you can withstand the blast of a nuke, one could easily make an argument for your indestructibility.

Some people? In a broad sense yes, I would agree it remarks on the stony nature of people who seem to live in their minds well above the rest of us lowly masses. But somehow I think there's a girl behind this. And maybe Mr. Bird would prefer to keep that secret for himself. God knows we all have things too intimate to share. C'mon though, you don't write a song like that about just anybody...
