Sonic Youth – JC Lyrics 8 years ago
Pretty interesting that the line 'Don't you know the shape I'm in?' comes back years later in 'Dude ranch nurse' as 'nobody knows the shape I'm in'. Any thoughts on that?

Therapy? – The Buzzing Lyrics 11 years ago
Well, if you're someone who's searching for truth in this world that is dominated by the 'happiness industry' that only sells feel good shit then you know what it means.

Therapy? – Living In The Shadow Of The Terrible Thing Lyrics 11 years ago
To me it's about failing to give meaning and significance to your own live while being confronted with the enormousness and absurdity of everything all the time, like a lot of Therapy? songs, and that's one reason I like them so much.

The terrible thing we're in the shadow of is death.

'Windows shatter and alarm bells ring
I'm living in the shadow of the terrible thing'

the realization of death breaks in to your live.

'Cause if you take away the future then the present collapses'

This could mean that if you're aware that you're going to die eventually it's pretty hard to live in the Now.

Great song, great lyrics and one of the best Therapy? albums.
