| Eels – Susan's House Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| I agree that its about the tragedy of life, and society, but I'd like to add that its also a lot more about finding relief with susan, who will distract him from all the evil people, because there is a reasonable friend he has found. | |
| Eels – Flyswatter Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
This song too me is a lot more about how in life, there are the small things that will weigh you down, and annoy you, but you have to find that release, your "flyswatter". Little field mice " Living under the house Never eating much Tough life for a mouse And if you think you're Gonna be spared You're wrong " This confirms my first point about how small things ( mice ) will always annoy you, and they're basically impossible to avoid. " Field mice, head lice Spiders in the kitchen Don't think twice 'bout Whatever keeps you itchin' Ice water, flyswatter Gonna get you through The day " The first few lines represent all the annoyances you can have, and how they can come in all different forms, but you have to find a way too ignore them. Then it says, that your ice water, your flyswatter will help you get over those differences. Drinking ice water after a long day to relax, and having a fly swatter to get rid of annoyances, or smack 'em away. "Heat is rolling in like Hell's red rug Stinking like the Breath of Beelzebub And if you think you won't Walk on coals You will" links to my first point, you cant avoid annoyances. Even "That's real good Oh yeah" can be linked to him showing relief at the "end of the day", although its just the end of the song. All of this can also be linked to the youtube video, were a nun goes skateboarding after (presumably) long day. A nun goes skateboarding, a clown stalks girls, a little child plays in the sand, but discovers an annoyance. Or you could take it the other way and its a child toiling and passing the time, and finding relief. either way. |
