Rocky Votolato – Treepeople Lyrics 18 years ago
"Why do I care, or clean up to make things look their very best; to feel my worst?"

"I'll be repaid again with memories of trailor park gravel streets."

"The floor will crumble if you get tired."

I have the liner notes somewhere upstairs, I'll double check it later.

I got turned onto Rocky when I saw him open for Dashboard Confessional, of all the bands. I was like, "How are you going to let someone so much more talented go on before you?" but I took home the Light and Sound EP, his self titled, and A Brief History. I love the mellow simplicity of his self titled album. Definitly my favorite. This song and, Victims give me a happy.

Damien Rice – Rootless Tree Lyrics 19 years ago
what if he was feeling "fuck you"? what better way is there to express "fuck you" than by saying "fuck you"?

Damien has a way of reserving words for when they count. This song isn't about flowers and unicorns it's about being hurt, upset, and lashing out. It feels like the repeated "fuck you"s are in the throws of a heated argument and the verses are an after thought. Like, "I've calmed down, I'm composed, and what I meant to say was..."

I've also thought about this being a sort of answer to "what the hell do you want?" at the end of I Remember.

Bright Eyes – Lover I Don't Have to Love Lyrics 22 years ago
Why is it everytime someone says a lyric about a same gender thing people assume they're talking about their preference. I transpose gender in a lot of the songs I write. There's alot of reasons for it, potraying aspects of a person that are more commonly attributed to a specific gender is my most common. but really even if he straight up wrote a song called "I like dick" if he kept up the quality he's shown in the past would it matter?

Bright Eyes – Something Vague Lyrics 23 years ago
"And then the bridge disappears, and I'm standing on air with nothing holding me." That one line encompasses everything I feel about my life right now. t's like how Linus freaks everytime he looses his security blanket. Nothing holding you over the bad stuff.
