| The Dig – I Already Forgot Everything You Said Lyrics | 7 years ago |
|
I think this song is definitely about the singer not being interested in a former lover anymore because of her leaving him for another fella. I also think the song dabbles with the idea of lasting feelings when someone initially tells you something or does something to you, you don’t care about justifications or reasonings, you only have a wave of that feeling entering your body, so you forget most of the details of the convo, but you still remember the over-arching feeling u had, which is what matters most. “I would take you back but the feelings dead, and i already forgot everything you said” |

| Unknown Mortal Orchestra – Swim and Sleep (Like A Shark) Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
I think that he's talking about being depressed In this song. Especially since "So good at being in trouble", (the next song on this LP) is about him and his girlfriend breaking up and him dealing with that. This song is him setting that up. He wishes he could just keep going but at the same time not really be there, meaning "sleep". He just wants to exist. Sharks have to keep swimming in order for their gills to have oxygen, so they never stop swimming, thus never really sleeping. Insomnia or even excessive sleeping is all a huge symptom of depression. He just wants to keep existing but be "floating away", meaning he wants to just keep going, keep slacking along in the "sweet cool darkness". Idk though. I love this song so much!!!! |
