| Throwing Muses – Rabbit's Dying Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| i have heard that there is a preganancy test that depends on a rabbit dying. That is my ONLY guess. I have never liked this song very much. | |
| Throwing Muses – Hate My Way Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
The last and strongest of the amazing three songs . The song starts out with a some bad things, and contrasts each of them to the supposed cause (legitimate or not) But she is so miserable that her own self hatred completely takes over, as the beginning and end of all misery. |

| Throwing Muses – Green Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
The second in the magnificent Throwing Muses trilogy. My guess (and I could be ridiculously wrong) is that she is in love "with one boy" and living with someone "in one house" who is jealous (hence the green eyes ). He thinks she has other lovers, but I got no more Who are you for? I got no more What is this? And this is making them both a little crazy. There are mentions of the greater heavens Temper and tempest To knock at the moon And the stars come out at night almost indicating that this jealousy is an eternal force, an endless cycle. In the last verse, there are some beautiful lines I love your face like God So you're in love and I'm indebted always Green eyes And now you're leaving again that seem to evoke the elemental power, beauty and frustration of romantic and jealous love. |

| Throwing Muses – Call Me Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
The first of a trilogy of some of the most powerful songs in pop music. This one is a break up song. Something's gone Something's over First she is expressing the sheer rage and primal violent frustration of the failure: I can't love nothing I mate, kill She acknowledges death and separations are the ways of the world, of nature: There's a shape over the ocean As we're picked off one by one Summer's gone Summer's over And expresses the overwhelming power of intimacy: Peter said "Thanks for letting me hold you Calling me moonshine I can take you there and call you that" This is your name And she finallly, by the end of the song collapses into the defeat of the failed relationship, and the feeling of being doomed to eternal loneliness. |

| Throwing Muses – Bea Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Wow what an amazing song. Just gorgeous. I think of this as a very gutsy, lusty song. I don't mean those word literally, I just mean a sense of very deeply felt, sexy abandon. |

| Throwing Muses – Devil's Roof Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| i think of this as "i am of two minds". one has to do with constantly waiting for "the man" who brings you your heroin, and the other is the state of being free from that sinfulness. Which way will she choose? | |
| Belle & Sebastian – Get Me Away from Here, I'm Dying Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| ahh, maybe it has to do with the power of imagination (and the power of the pen) that can be stronger than the dreariness of real life,. but how does this tie in with the endings and dying themes? i don't quite know.... | |
| Gary Numan – Are 'Friends' Electric? Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
One of all time greatest songs ever written. This explanation does no justice to the haunting emotion of the song, but: In G.N.'s world, (based on a sci-fi book he started writing during adolescence) "Friends" are machines that look like humans. Other machines ("Machmen", I believe) are running the world. But "Friends" are machines that humans can call on to do things for them/ provide services. Pretty sad when a hired machine is the last thing you've got in this world to love. |

| Gary Numan – Cars Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Funny I love Gary Numan but this never was one of my favorites. But I think "Cars" just has to do with the temptation to shut oneself off from everyone else.( The isolating effects of technology being a typical G.N. theme.) But then: The image breaks down Will you visit me please If I open my door He realizes maybe the isolation isn't as ideal as he'd imagined. As always, he gets lonely. |
