Joni Mitchell – Cactus Tree Lyrics	5 years ago
@[jakiewiet:34461] The "Hollow" line always bothered me as it seems negative to me. If she was a man, no one would care. But in 1968, she's HOLLOW and BUSY....negative images. Joni fell in love a lot.

Cake – Comanche Lyrics

@[HappyMatt:18040] Howdy. I adore this band. I hope they haven't disappeared. I think this little lyric is basically, "better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone" advice. Adapt or die. It could be from a hostile takeover, or it could be just a warning that the future is here. The use of Indian vocab to me seems to me it's more about the hopeless inevitable trampling of old culture for the aggresssive new.
