| Van Morrison – Ballerina Lyrics

I'm almost positive that he says "grab it, catch it" instead of "crowd will catch you." It's a little mumbled on the album version, but on the Hollywood Bowl version it's clearly that.
It also fits a little better in context: "Grab it, catch it, fly it, sigh it." |

Gulag Orkestar is something similar to "Prison Orchestra" or "Orchestra of Prisoners." Just in case anyone was wondering. |

| Brand New – In a Jar Lyrics

It does, right? I think the album, as a whole, is full of biblical references. Like, "Maybe I should rest, but on the seventh day
I've created nothing and I'm wide awake" is a reference to the Book of Genesis and how it says that God created the universe in a week and designated the seventh day (the Sabbath) as a day of rest. |

Very close Arter, but I don't think the "kissed goodnight" line is a "good boy" sort of thing. I think it refers to the kiss that Judas gave to Jesus to point him out to to the soldiers. That line in particular has a strong theme of betrayal, which can be seen in quite a bit of this song. But most of the betrayal mentioned isn't a literal betrayal. The "people in the jar" are betrayed by reality. They have no way to differentiate what they believe is real from what's actually real. "Plato's Cave" (as mentioned before) is a perfect example of this. The shadows that the people see on the wall become their reality, as opposed to a reflection of reality, much like the people in the jar see the fireflies as the stars and the hole in the jar as the sun. |

I can't believe that i was the first one to realize that this song is exactly like "Hey Jude" by The Beatles.
Both start off by saying the title, have hey hey heys or na na nas, and a really long endings with random shouting. |
