| Thom Yorke – The Present Tense Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Thom Yorke is smart.. he's not just this depressed guy making songs about past relationships that went wrong blah blah. He's Thom Yorke lol.. he met the love of his life in his early 20's and Radiohead started a bit after. He's a guy who's been through a lot and understands more about life than most, even though more and more are getting there. The song: This dance This dance Is like a weapon Like a weapon Of self defense Of self defense Against the present Against the present Present tense ** Okay, this dance is like a weapon of self defense against the present tense. The dance is the dance of life we all participate in everyday.. and for most of us we don't take in the present as much as we should; instead we focus on the past and future and create unnecessary anxiety for ourselves. So yes, the dance is a weapon because the present tense is something special that when realized, makes the things we thought were more important 'the dance', much less. The song just goes on to add to it. Your world crashes, you enter the dance of life and freak out and worry and make yourself crazy all because you're deaf, dumb, and blind. You haven't gotten to the place where you take in the present, the past is what it is, you do now to make the future you want. Finally, he says it's no one's business but his, because it is. It's everyone's battle to get to the place where they can confidently say they believe in life and it' s not just same random collection of things. And you if you give up and let life take over, all the love that went into making life in general is for nothing.. then 'in you i'm lost' because life is confusing if you let it be, take it simple and take in the now, and watch what happens. -Joe |

| Portugal. The Man – Sea of Air Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| he's atheist in the sense that there is no real true meaning of god. god is you, it's me, it's everything that is. this life measured by time is just the physical representation of a connection bigger than you can imagine - a collective personality, or consciousness. he feels it.. and does a pretty good job of expressing it with his lyrics. | |

|
it's not that we're screwed, we just become one with everything that is once it's all over. we dream now, but once time is over and done with we're just part of it all, and we believe because we are. and nobody really does know at all - and i agree with that being okay. but some get it a bit more than others. with john being one of those.. |

this is a tough one.. carries the same overall theme as almost everything else portugal has done - we're all one and in this together. could be the death of a friend or death of a relationships. last verse pulls it all together. |
