| LCD Soundsystem – All My Friends Lyrics

I agree with bobbydee completely. I get the feeling that it's about some guy in his mid-30s or so who has done nothing with the past 15 or so years but party, and the people around him are always changing as his old friends settle down. Still, he wouldn't trade any of his stupid decisions for another 5 years of life. All he wants to do is see his old friends again. |

Dude... "overly-dramatic, vague, token, pseudo-rebellious anti-establishmentarian bullshit" is what NIN is all about... And we all love it. |

Does anyone have the lyrics for whatever the background voice is saying in the beginning? I'm intrigued.
Something like "Manic depressive, masochistic, (...?...) existentialist?"
Not really sure |

| Shearwater – Castaways Lyrics

This is possibly my favorite Shearwater song. The grandiose building if the song into a glorious climax is what this amazing band is all about. Combine that feel with Meiburg's dramatic delivery, and you have a classic. I'm sure that this song is full of metaphor, and can affect anyone differently, but my interpretation is that the song details a feeling of inevitability and helplessness against the flow of time. There is religious imagery present, which I think is metaphorical for tradition and the use and misuse of power, something that is grand and ornate yet can be exploitative. Everyone is "running from a rising tide" of societal pressure and wanting to live without the distraction of society, as a castaway. But the flow of time is impossible to stop, those in power will keep power and everyone is tied together by their past. The flow of time is inevitable, and those who try to escape from it are cast away. |
