The National – Pink Rabbits Lyrics 11 years ago
I love this interpretation of the album as a whole.

The National – Graceless Lyrics 11 years ago
Can anyone interpret the "There's a science to walking through windows" line for me?

I feel like I'm missing something.

The "I was solid gold.." part of this song is really something special.

The National – This Is the Last Time Lyrics 11 years ago
a song about addiction, (thinly) disguised as a love song.

Fanfarlo – Finish Line Lyrics 13 years ago
The way the horns kick in when they deliver "somewhere out there is the finish line"... gets me every time.

The National – Afraid of Everyone Lyrics 14 years ago
I hear:

Venom radio and venom television
I'm afraid of everyone, I'm afraid of everyone
Lay the young blue bodies, with the old red bodies
I'm afraid of everyone, I'm afraid of everyone
With my kid on my shoulders I try
Not to hurt anybody I like
But I don't have the drugs to sort,
I don't have the drugs to sort it out, sort it out

I defend my family with my orange umbrella
I'm afraid of everyone, I'm afraid of everyone
With my shiny new starspangled tennis shoes on
I'm afraid of everyone, I'm afraid of everyone
With my kid on my shoulders I try
Not to hurt anybody I like
But I don't have the drugs to sort,
I don't have the drugs to sort it out, sort it out
I don't have the drugs to sort it out, sort it out

You're the voices swallowing my soul, soul, soul.

The National – England Lyrics 14 years ago
I agree the lyrics are off, but if you're going to be so critical at least get the part you're correcting right

"Someone send a runner through the weather that I'm under for the feeling that I lost today"
"Someone send a runnder through the feeling that I lost today"

The National – Sorrow Lyrics 14 years ago
I'm now pretty sure the line is:
"sorrow's a girl inside my cake"

Which makes a lot more sense (to me anyway)

sorry, I forgot to fix that last paragraph. It should also read "don't leave my hyper heart alone on the water"

The National – Sorrow Lyrics 14 years ago
sorrow found me when I was young
sorrow waited, sorrow won
sorrow they put me on the pill
it's in my honey, it's in my milk

don't leave my hyper heart alone on the water
cover me in rag and bone sympathy
'cos I don't wanna get over you
I don't wanna get over you

sorrow's my body on the waves
sorrow's a girl inside my cave
I live in a city sorrow built
it's in my honey, it's in my milk

don't leave my hyper heart alone on the water
cover me in rag and bone
sympathy
'cos I don't wanna get over you
I don't wanna get over you

don't leave my heart burning hot, alone
on the water
cover me in rag and bone sympathy
'cos I don't wanna get over you
I don't wanna get over you

Currently my favorite track from High Violet
