| Pixies – Where Is My Mind? Lyrics | 4 years ago |
| @[bellyfloor:40478] yeah, I\'m pretty sure those who take that as a literal meaning of a song are missing the thought process? Scuba diving was the trigger of inspiration to make him think of something...\r\nLyric writer here, and one day I found a hot bottle of flat lemonade under the seat of my car... that\'s what I\'d tell interviewer\'s if I was famous..\r\nReminded me of how innocent love is at first, but can go bad left in the sun... \r\nThere\'s a much deeper story to it, though.. \r\nAka being a straight Aussie 17yr old girl in love with a 34yr old Dutch girl in a bad relationship. Certainly not about lemonade, but no one would ever guess that, though!???? | |

I don't have anything to add others would maybe feel true... But for my own experience.. First part up until chorus/refrain: My ex partner talking about my pregnancy. The rest: My struggle with miscarriage and his abandonment of me resulting in my telling him it's over. Unfortunately. ???? I could specify, but it purely my personal interpretation. xxBB |

Sorry for triple posting, but I have to add, for a few years I believed he said, "collect the rocks and throw them over borders, to shape the running waters". So much so I used it as a username at one point. Haha. xxBB |

I just realised you can't edit your comments, I was copying and pasting.. my correction is: "I was afraid.. I feared myself, I cleared the shelf, and killed the shame." xxBB |

I could write a million words about this song... I've loved it for 17 years. I have one correction... "I was afraid.. I'd feed myself, I cleared the shelf, and killed the shame." When you are battling an eating disorder you become terrified of the hunger that engulfs you. I know. He's talking about overcoming that terrifying hunger that encapsulates you when you try to eat normally again after starving yourself. Once you do, you become insatiable. You become at risk of refeeding syndrome, which in basic terms means a normal diet can put so much stress on your system that you can potentially die. (Again, I'm being very basic here, it's much more complicated than that.) It's part of the refeeding process, and why anorexics in hospital are not initially put on a high calorie meal plan, and families complain. Once you have finished s course of refeeding under supervision you will potentially and most likely be put on a gain diet, up to 3500+ cals. Which is mentally difficult for someone with anorexia. He has cleared a shelf in the kitchen of food. I think after treatment. He's saying he's not ashamed of that. He needed to. He knows eating will help him feel better. I don't think the entire song is about that, I think it's just a reference to one of the issues he has that keeps him up at night that's he's struggling with, that may also cause him to act in ways that upsets others. I think it's mainly about the general apathy that depression causes and how people find that uncomfortable to deal with when someone trying to get better starts to talk about it with them, which any good psychologist will recommend you do. It takes its toll on others, though, as he says in the song... You begin to splinter if I decide to recognise my thorns... xxBB |

| @[JulieMarlene:32869] commenting on a 17yr old comment, I know, but silverchair is spelt without a capital. It's how they wanted it, because they thought they weren't worthy of being a proper noun. I'm not having a go at you, I just thought I'd put it out there as a fun fact with only good vibes intended! ☺️ | |
