you went white as a sheet
and wished that nothing in this world
would ever hurt me-

well, keep wishing."

Bright Eyes – Hungry for a Holiday Lyrics 21 years ago
If the costume fits, keep wearing it,
but no Halloween could quite account for this;
I guess you're getting into character.
Just be yourself if that would help,
or sink completely into someone else.
We dreamt of mountains
but sometimes a hole is more comfortable.

this is absolutely one of my favorite songs. ever. the album leaf+bright eyes= amazing.

Bright Eyes – The Awful Sweetness of Escaping Sweat Lyrics 21 years ago
we crawl to our sleep with the dawn
and awake with the light
feeling hollow and selfishly warm,
close the blinds and retreat
'til what's burning is gone
and it's light is away.
then we're back in the dark
chasing nothing through backyards and trees.

this is one of my favorite songs. ever. GOD DAMN IT IS SO GOOD.

The Decemberists – California One/Youth and Beauty Brigade Lyrics 21 years ago
"i've heard of ghosts,
good ghosts
who wander the battle fields at night
guiding soldiers out of danger
you can see them almost everywhere (?)
always warning of stray bullets
and ?
...if i was such a ghost,
i would stay so close to you,
you could feel my breath on your cheek"

this is my favorite part of the whole song. does anyone know what the lines in the ? are? lasd;fkj. decemberists effing rock.

Homesick for Space – Suburban Doldrums Lyrics 21 years ago
in my eyes, this song is about two friends who have grown apart or been seperated by physical distance, and it speaks about the way it's like starting over when you talk to someone you never see anymore, how all the things you wanted to say seem unimportant or out of place. however, these two people want to hold onto what they once had (i will not forget you) and maybe trying to give some vague advice to be less lonely (some scars will never heal) and just wondering what their life is like, now that they're not part of it anymore.

this song is incredibly personal to me, and the beauty of it is overwhelming.

Copeland – Testing The Strong Ones Lyrics 22 years ago
Open your eyes look at me
I'll bring to you whatever you need
And I'll tell you I'm sorry
That I can't take this pain away from you
And I'd put it on my own body if I knew how to
Can't you see?

Bright Eyes – Puella Quam Amo Est Pulchra Lyrics 22 years ago
"because sometimes it seems like you still don't believe me
and there's nothing i can do to concentrate
it's so distracting always thinking of you
so i expose and explain and i meant everything that i said
it's moments like this that repeat and replay in my head
when i'm laying in bed"

this basically sums up my life right now. this guy, we had conflict, and i apologized and told him that i wanted things to be normal again, and he agreed but it seems like he doesnt beleive me.. i've told him time and again that im sincere, but.. ::sigh:: what to do? it consumes me..

"thank you and hang up the phone. let the funeral start, hear the casket close, let's pin split black ribbon to your overcoat" i love that line, i dont know why either.. i just like the whole picture it puts in your head. and.. "you combed your hair inside that mirror, the one you painted blue and glued with jewelry tears." love that too.. what can i say? i love the whole song.

Bright Eyes – The Center of the World Lyrics 22 years ago
aah i love this song so much. when he says "The
funeral had begun in the middle of the day when you drive home to your place from that job that makes you sleep back to the thoughts that keep you awake long after night has come to claim any light that still remains in the corner of the frame that you put around her face" god.. i just melt. this is a simply amazing song, it hooked me fromt he very first time i heard it.
