Mirah – Mt. St. Helens Lyrics 19 years ago
a beautiful song, and yes i agree that she feels as if she has been destroyed by a relationship. she cannot be freed from the idea of the relationship or her lover, she can't "escape the lion's jaw."

i think that the imagery of presenting mt. saint helens shows how monumental this relationship/lover is to mirah. she and her lover were "humbled" by the mountain, as if it made them feel insignificant. so much is going on in the world around her, there is destruction everywhere, not just in her heart.

Matt Pond PA – Measure 3 Lyrics 19 years ago
there is definitely a relationship coming to an end in this song, and i think matt pond is searching for the future for this couple... it seems like they have stayed together for so long just out of fear of breaking up, it feels like one of those relationships that the future is really unclear.. "will they be happy to stand alone?" will they get back together?

i also love the imagery of the "biggest rooms"-- after the lonliness of the separation or the relationship coming to an end, he tries to drown the lonliness or whatever feeling by surrounding himself with people, but everything just goes wrong.

the words and the music in this song are so beautiful. its so short and simple, but definitely one of matt pond's best songs.

Matt Pond PA – A Part Of The Woods Lyrics 19 years ago
haha i love the comment above me. although i doubt that there is significance. i may be 100% wrong though.

anyway. i love love love this song. the part that really speaks to me is

"i've betrayed the whole concept of ground
right there for standing
understand though i can't see what's sound
got branches waving"

i think matt pond is talking about hitting that point in life where one begins to question everything that they hold on to for support and the idea of solid ground fades away. the idea of the branches waving make me think of being fickle and living for fleeting moments. the idea is scary but beautiful.

Mirah – Don't Die In Me Lyrics 19 years ago
i also think that the mighty continents divided is about the relationship rather than world war 2 or pangea. its the "second time in all history," so it seems like the world is falling apart to her as the two people in the relationship either drift or are separated or whatever the case. the first time would be pangea i believe but she is attempting to show how monumental this separation is

Matt Pond PA – Summer Is Coming Lyrics 19 years ago
wow probably the best matt pond pa song. i love it. i think he is talking about the feeling when two friends find themselves in love, or one friend is in love with the other, but they will never pursue the relationship. he knows that it is something, but either the feeling isnt returned, or the girl refuses to give him a chance at a relationship. such a beautiful song.

Elliott Smith – Between the Bars Lyrics 21 years ago
no matter what the song is about, elliott smith has an amazing voice and sings beautifully.
but i think both sides have a good argument, id say that it makes sense that it is the alcohol talking to the girl as elliot sees it. "waiting to finally be caught, drink up onee more times and ill make you mine" -- seems like the girls sees alcohol as a solution to her problems. who can really tell

Benton Falls – Swimming With You Lyrics 21 years ago
i think he has a completely fucked up relationship with a girl he used to be in love with and can't handle the relationship or the girl, and has so much to say to her but can't say it, or doesn't know how. he still loves her, but maybe she's hurt him or doesnt love him. at least that seems right to me because of the situation.
