| Superchunk – Detroit Has a Skyline Lyrics | 7 years ago |
| I have a different interpretation. I think it's plainly about having a crush on someone, maybe a fling, but ultimately the other person rejects you as a partner because they don't think you meet their standards. He's obviously distraught over the rejection, but he refuses to feel worthless about himself over it. Detroit, mousy homes, and catacombs are the singer describing himself as a humble type, not very polished or attractive as a partner. But he thinks he has a skyline, or desirable qualities, if the other person could just see it. Maybe the timing isn't right in their lives at that point so he wants them to try it again in a year. | |
| Sparklehorse – Sunshine Lyrics | 7 years ago |
|
Pretty morbid in my opinion. He's imagining what death will look like when the time comes. The sunshine at night is the light at the end of the tunnel. He reflects on the idea of how all his thoughts and memories and everything tangible or intangible will cease to matter. I think he finds some sort of existential comfort in just lying there and letting nature take its course. I hope Mark did find that comfort. |
