| Elliott Smith – New Monkey Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
@[futuremoth:45850] you've said it all there: This is how I spend my time Lazying around, head hanging down Stuck inside my imagination Busy making something from nothing Pictures of hope and depression"" He's saying, "look asshole. You have no idea. I'm stuck in my own mind, with all the things I hate about my life and the world, there's no getting away from that. But I'm not doing nothing. I'm trying to make something. I'm trying to make something that will show myself and everyone around me that there is still hope, even inside this terrible depression." After that, he turns the phrase that was first uttered by the "side-walk boss" into his own. "Anything is better than nothing" no longer means living in denial, he's changed the meaning of the phrase and repeated it back to the original speaker, saying "At least I'm doing SOMETHING to try to change the horrible situation. I might not be some happy action man, but at least I'm doing what I can to make the world a better place, and make others happier." |

| Elliott Smith – No Name #3 Lyrics | 3 years ago |
| @[iamjackslife:43527] hey! I think there's a coma to put in the line which explain it. In this line it says "Everyone is gone, home to oblivion" I think if you put it this way, "Everyone is gone home, to oblivion" makes much more sense. Just because of the music/lyrics timing and musically nice, he says the line on this confusing way. As a huge Elliott fan, what I think he meant is like, sometimes, after a sad/hard day, what you wanna do is just go home, and sleep just to forget your day, to put it into oblivion. Regards! | |
| Yo La Tengo – Pablo and Andrea Lyrics | 3 years ago |
| Well, I\'m not sure if he was being completely honest when he said that to me, but after a Yo la tengo\'s gig, Ira came to speak with fans and then I asked him who Pablo and Andrea were. He told me they were some good old friends from a summer camp when they were kids, and that they were in love then and still together. I would like to think so just because the song is so beautiful... | |
