The dance of the mind all day long when not considering anything but the intriguing things that cross our brain, NOT INCLUDING WORK.... by the way, who am I? Am I the person I'm staring at in the mirror? wait a second, what If i could go into the mirror? (we all thought about that as kids). Hope that helps. |

The beauty of Pinback is that it is very abstract. They're voices truly sound like instruments part of the melody and not just poetry. With that said, any line, stanza, or even word they speak can remind us of a feeling we have, of a time we had, of any particular memory. Whats most interesting about their lyrics is they are often obscure, whereas you would have to look them up, or turn the bass all the way down and treble up to understand what they're saying for more than a moment. At the beginning, for instance, when he says "Light, flickers in my room, planes flying by, dropping down perfume"... For me it makes me think that he's thinking of a girl he's fond of, and he is just waxing poetic. Like he can still smell her perfume in his mind. Someone else hears it and thinks "oh this guy is talking about getting high".. Of course, you read the full lyrics and see this is merely a song about forest fires, and perhaps he is helucinating due to the smoke... Maybe he is not a person is a bedroom at all.. COnsidering he says the light it is in his room and there are planes dropping down perfume. Is it possible that he is mother earth? idk. I like also that he talks about "it's up to the trees with the firestorm..." Now, I used to think it said "it's up to the trees where the fires stop"... In that sense, we try to put the fires out but in reality we're doing nothing... so much so are we doing nothing that he refers to the flame retardant as perfume... hello? perfume is flamable, number one. number 2, it smells nice and in this sense may be futile in putting out the flames, or is a covering for the bad news which is that we can't do anything, but it looks like we're trying... Additionally, i like that he says why do i assume these things are bad? Why must all the pretty things be sad? THis doesn't have to be about a forest fire, but the forest fire is a metaphor for any given problem life brings our way. HELLO WELCOME TO POETRY. This is one of the amazing things about this band is how well they capture life experience in their poetry. They can sing just about any song they make and i will tell you how it applies to more than just the literal interpretation of the words.
Do they do it on purpose? I don't know that they do. Which is why art's meaning is often beyond the intended meaning. And another beautiful thing about this band. EIther knowingly or unknowingly, they make the art that makes me incredibly happy. And tells me i'm not alone.

Google says you're all wrong. It says "The Call Was Answered"... i take that as the hula boys saying "she was begging for it, we just did what any red blooded man would".. lol. |
