| Smog – Let Me See the Colts Lyrics | 2 years ago |
| As if a healing has taken place, and the narrator is in a state of recovery, at peace with the present anxious for the future. And they are caught between the two, uneasy and ready to give themselves to another. The album is a deep therapy session for never-resolved feelings of grief, regret, malaise, and anxiety. This song is the deep breath of fresh air afterward "show them to a gambling man, thinking of the future" | |
| Songs: Ohia – Farewell Transmission Lyrics | 2 years ago |
| Every relationship is tested, even to yourself and you know nothing other than to try, try to live, try to love, try to be okay. | |
| Steely Dan – Deacon Blues Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
A song for those who love themselves as much as they do hate. Those who believe in their ego they are the greatest to ever live and the worst. Some sort of melancholic bliss exudes from the song, an anthem for those who are so important yet so meaningless in what they do: "I cried when I wrote this song, sue me if I play too long, ill be what I want to be." |

| Smog – Rock Bottom Riser Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
Say Valley Maker is about a desire that heals, leaving you self-reliant and more loving when it's lost. "death is what it meant, to make it on my own" Rock Bottom Riser is about a desire that breaks and alienates, leaving you more aware of the relationships around you once its gone. "left them standing on the banks, and they pulled me out, of this mighty, mighty river" A song, and an album, about gaining, losing, and understanding love. |

| Leonard Cohen – Sing Another Song, Boys Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
A relationship in which two people will perpetually keep each other at arm's length, hoping to be embraced by the other but never able to commit fully and do it themselves. They'll stay together, hurting and alienating their partner and themselves. "Yes, I might go to sleep, But kindly leave, leave the future, Leave it open." There is a genuine love there, where he wants to love at some point in his life, but is ignorant to the fact that he can change and have it now. |

| Smog – Cold Discovery Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
A complete consumption of self by ego. Feeling as if your own self-loathing excuses the hurt you inflict on others. His discovery about their relationship is that he is willing to use physical power, her discovery is his lack of backbone. Her's is something he loathes about himself, wishes he had more control over his emotions as if his emotional insecurity/immaturity is an excuse for abuse and holding a physical power. His cold discovery is something he will willingly exploit, her discovery is a flaw he is unwilling to change. |

| Leonard Cohen – Famous Blue Raincoat Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
A movement from bitterness, to understanding, regret and healing. Feeling like another has stripped your life and love away from you: "when she came back, she was nobody's wife", "One more thin gypsy thief", "my brother, my killer". Making the choice to forgive, and through this awareness, an understanding of your own faults emerges, calling you to heal. "I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you, Im glad you stood in my way." An honesty to one self and to others, bitterness is a choice. |

| Brian Eno – By This River Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
Hoping a moment could last forever, knowing it won't, and being completely overwhelmed by one's senses. The muffling of voices and distance of words overwhelmed by the feeling of everything surrounding you. Knowing it's the final moment spent with someone you love, feeling every inch of the space around you; a vast ocean of words and moments bridged by me and you |
