It's about facing the mundane.
We all die as "tourists on the bus"
it claims us all, regardless of the life we have |

| Grandson – Best Friends Lyrics
| 5 years ago
|
My youngest son had me listen to this. The music is pretty good. The lyrics stood out.
in short, it's about someone noticing the self-destructive behavior of his peers. I think this is something that a lot of people experience. We see people that complain about the circumstances of their own creation. |

This is about being a permanent resident of the friend zone. He had a moment with her, but she keeps everyone distant. |

I'm guessing the following. It's about disabling envy of others perceived advantages. "Why is everyone else doing so well" when it reality, all suffer. |

Hearing this, it seems almost like an apology, and an acknowledgement. It's an apology to a son. It's an acknowledgement to a father. |

This is about possessive jealousy. Green, as in envy. He's basically outlining a relation on selfish terms |

| Ramona Falls – Bodies of Water Lyrics
| 6 years ago
|
It may be me internalizing, but it sounds like a confession of deliberately crashing a relationship out of spite.
She said/did something he could not overlook (can't take it back)
So he bets the relationship will fail.
And he will make that happen be withholding his love. This becomes the "body of water" (distance) between them. |

This band has some of the most complex mathematical music arrangements that I've heard in my life. Listen to it with great headphones. He hides meaning in the timing |

| Typhoon – Hunger & Thirst Lyrics

This song, is completely about writer's block.
It's actually two viewpoints. The songwriter, (him), and what he is afraid the singer is thinking (her). |

| Death Cab for Cutie – Crooked Teeth Lyrics
| 6 years ago
|
I may be reaching...... It's the viewpoint of a naive young man. Out of place, and the results of seeking comfort with someone jaded, experienced and unavailable emotionally.
Allow me:
He mentioned intoxication. But not his own.
The city skyline of teeth to devour him
The streets of kids on homemade speed.
The heart is driving him, even while his mind knows the truth. (It's only a meaningful relationship to him, not to her {decayed lumber in the house he'd built})
He knows he should leave it all, and go back. |

The video was done by Bent Image Lab, Portland Oregon. Ramona Falls is out of Portland, Oregon. I'd like to assume that the video, had some oversight by the musicians that produced the music |

| Typhoon – Prosthetic Love Lyrics

The writer, spent a significant time alone during his childhood. The song is about a boy, who's spent in recovery is left to watch television. It describes an infatuation with a television celebrity. You can both feel the pain of isolation, and the dangers of a "Created reality" or "Prosthetic love" that arises from this. |

I'd like you to pay really close attention to, a "clapping like sound". It plays like three times. At first, it sounds like fast clapping of small hands, or snapping of fingers. But it's not. The length, timing, and number of "snaps", matches a "Jacob's ladder" toy, when used with the cascade trick. Look that up on Youtube, compare to the "Clappy moments" in this song. |

@[BattleMage:515] Bent Image Lab, was the animation studio. It's quite possible that they build this out of many existing woodcuts. |

@[Emprah:513] The Video, was done by Bent Image Lab. They happen to be located in the same city, that Ramona Falls hails from. that would add to your theory, that the video, and the song may be closer than average. Also, I'm going to think, that the faces(heads)(masks), are meant to our civilized personas. By being stripped of those masks, we're reverted back, to animal instincts. that's the impression the video gave me. |

@[proofplz:512] I think the five years, are a period of mourning. This romantic interest, is entangled in a severely painful loss. Either, the person he's referring too, has had her life decimated by losing someone that meant the world to her; or the writer, has lost someone that he was supposed to be close to, but wasn't. The singer may not want to appear callus, by moving on so quickly. Therefore he's soliciting the advice of the people close. I'd put more weight on the first scenario, since the opening line refers to "Her waiting five years", rather than him. |
