| The Front Bottoms – Backflip Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
"No matter how many times I tell myself to breathe in, hold it, hold it, now let it out, now let it out One day I will realize I don't need this because it is just not who I am Until that day comes, I'll keep my eyes closed, and I will try to feel all of the effects And now I am talking way too fast and a little bit louder than I should, Trying to say thank you for understanding my side of the story the best that you could" 2 different type of drugs he is describing? And the 'just not who I am' - using them to get over the girl with the new 'cool boyfriend'? |

| The Front Bottoms – Lone Star Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| He said that the song wasn't autobiographical and that's the only explanation for the 'because freshness is expected from any hip hop artist/I avoid using traditional techniques' line to me | |
| The Front Bottoms – The Beers Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Maybe her superiority? She's in the sky and he's on the ground sort of thing. And also "house" compared to "room" is superior | |
| Nada Surf – Whose Authority Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I really like your interpretation. I kind "on whose authority" relates to the freedom of being able to make your own decisions, since you're told exactly what to do in the army. The search for a similar authority structure coupled with the "ahhs" seems to be a sense of relief and realising that you're entirely free to do as you please. | |

Almost an exact cover of Cohen's Chelsea Hotel No. 2: "I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel, you were talking so brave and so sweet, giving me head on the unmade bed, while the limousines wait in the street. Those were the reasons and that was New York, we were running for the money and the flesh. And that was called love for the workers in song probably still is for those of them left. Ah but you got away, didn't you babe, you just turned your back on the crowd, you got away, I never once heard you say, I need you, I don't need you, I need you, I don't need you and all of that jiving around. I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel you were famous, your heart was a legend. You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception. And clenching your fist for the ones like us who are oppressed by the figures of beauty, you fixed yourself, you said, "Well never mind, we are ugly but we have the music." And then you got away, didn't you babe... I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best, I can't keep track of each fallen robin. I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel, that's all, I don't even think of you that often." One of my favourite Menzingers songs - arguably sounds much better with Greg's voice. |

| The Menzingers – I Was Born Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
May be wrong but this song kind of reminds me of Slaughterhouse 5: 'I'm at your funeral, I'm at the slaughter' (funeral before the slaughter) and 'send my thoughts to the firing squad.' (Dresden) It wouldn't be too surprising to say they released So It Goes. I don't know. Just a thought. |
