| Phil Ochs – One Way Ticket Home Lyrics
| 1 year ago
|
I've always read this one as being about that listlessness that comes from a rapidly changed circumstance.
I think by this point in his career, Phil felt very out of place and was hoping to disappear into his memories and a time that made sense to him, back when Elvis was top of the charts and Phil himself wasn't a known entity.
I think it also speaks to a sense of alienation that's pretty common in the depressed, you could get everything you want and still feel empty.
Or I could just be reading far too into this, either way, I love this song and it gets better with every listen, thanks Phil. |

| Warren Zevon – Carmelita Lyrics

|
A writer looking into the void, he looking down the barrel alone, selling his typewriter for his fix. Carmelita is a warm hug from a stranger, comforting but distant. They're spinning out of control and the sad part is that they're smart enough to realise it. |

It's funny how you bend lyrics in your head to fit your own interpretation. Instead of keep on taking further ahead, I always heard "people take it further ahead". |

I've always seen it as someone who is inexperienced in love, so comes off as bitter on the outside, to hide the fact that she's scared. |
