| Talking Heads – Once In A Lifetime Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
This song is about how most people spend the vast majority of their lives unconscious to what happens. Most people let things happen to them, instead of being a causing and driving force in their life. The "you may find yourself" bits are brief moments of lucidity in an otherwise numb life, where you look around at your life and question how you ended up here. "You may tell yourself 'this is not my beautiful house,' and you may tell yourself 'this is not my beautiful wife!'" That is literally the reaction to waking up and seeing things are the way they are, and wondering what happened, where you let all that time go. You find yourself somewhere and you don't know how it happened, because you've been unconscious to the entirety of your life up until that brief moment of clarity. |

| You, Me, and Everyone We Know – Sad Bastard Music Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
I think this is THE most beautiful song. Like, really. It's just a song about how after a break-up, the singer's just giving up on everything, and it really is sad bastard music, but it's just so gorgeous and simple. But yeah it's about being depressed and giving up on everything and feeling like your existence is so futile it's pathetic. |

nope, definitely " 'til I breed mosquitoes!" the joke being that mosquitoes can only lay eggs on stagnant bodies of water, meaning he'll stop moving until mosquitoes start laying eggs on him. boomdeyada. |

| Ludo – In Space Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Just putting this out there, but I think this song is about missing his girlfriend while he's on tour, but also making the song a bit whimsical by making it be about space. Just sayin'. | |
