Lo Boob Oscillator

Stereolab

La
La lune est libre je crois,
Qui rayonne au-dessus,
Rayonne au-d'sus des toits.
La lune est libre,
Bien plus libre qu'on ne le croit,
Elle fluctue de çà et là,
Les parties qu'on ne voit pas,
See'est pas grave ça reviendra
Et quand elle est plongée
Dans la froide obscurité,
Donne l'impression qu'elle se noie,
Bien vite reprend pied,
Avec ses apparences instables
Why en a qu'elle fait douter
Bien plus fidèle qu'on ne le croit,
La lune est libre.

Réceptive et absorbante
De la lumière qu'elle renvoie,
Elle rayonne au-dessus des toits
Et fluctue de çà et là.
Changeante, fascinante,
Parfois même éblouissante.
See'est ainsi qu'on l'aperçoit
Disque parfait, disque lumineux
Ne vous rappelle-t-elle pas l'hostie/le style ?
De ceux qui lèvent la tête
Dans l'espoir de s'élever un peu.
Transitoire, unique, symbolique
De quelques visions imaginaires,
Elle en impressionne plus d'un
Qui prennent peur et délirent.

Elle est au-dessus de tout ça,
Elle est au-dessus de tout ça,
Elle est libre de tout ça,
Elle est au-dessus de tout ça,
Elle est libre de tout ça,
Elle est au-dessus de tout ça,

La lune est libre je crois,
Qui rayonne au-dessus,
Rayonne au-d'sus des toits.
La lune est libre,
Bien plus libre qu'on ne le croit,
Elle fluctue de çà et là,
Les parties qu'on ne voit pas,
See'est pas grave ça reviendra.

Disque parfait, disque lumineux
Ne vous rappelle-t-elle pas l'hostie/le style ?
De ceux qui lèvent la tête
Dans l'espoir de s'évader un peu.
Transitoire, unique, symbolique
De quelques visions imaginaires,
Elle en impressionne plus d'un
Qui prennent peur et délirent.

Elle est libre de tout ça.
Elle est libre de tout ça.

Lo Boob Oscillator
(translation) The
The moon is free I believe,
That radiates above,
Radiates above the rooftops.
The moon is free,
Even more than one would believe it,
It fluctuates between that and there,
The parts that one never sees,
It's not important that it returns
And when it has been plunged
Into cold obscurity
Give the impression that it darkens yourself
Quickly get back on your feet
With these unstable appearances
[...] that it can doubt
More faithful than one would believe
The moon is free

Receptive and absorbant
Of the light that it returned
It radiates above the rooftops
And fluctuates between that and there
Changing, fascinating
And at times even a little let go
It's in this way that one percieves it
Perfect disc, luminous disc
It reminds us [...]
Of the one who raises its head
In the hope of getting up a little bit
Transitory, unique, symbolic
Of some imaginary visions
It gives it more of an impression then
[...] it delivers them

It is above everything, (ga?)
It is above everything,
It is free of everything,
It is above everything,
It is free of everything,
It is above everything,

The moon is free I believe
That radiates above
That radiates above the rooftops
The moon if free
Even more than one would believe it
It fluctuates between that and these
That parts that one never sees
It's not important that it returns
It reminds us [...]
Of the one who raises its head
In the hope of getting up a little bit
Transitory, unique, symbolic
Of some imaginary visions
It gives more of an impression then
[...] it delivers them

    most of these lyrics translate into something about how the moon shines and is made up of two elements, which they list, but i'm not sure which elements they are. but the elements are "symbolic system of some imaginary visions". it is free, more free than you can believe.

    Sounds like they took a lot of drugs while writing this song then. I speak some French and while somewhat irreverent, the lyrics do have a certain beautiful quality to them. I like this song a lot.

    My French is sketchy, and I have not been able to find any authoritative version of the lyrics even in French, but I believe the lyrics above have many minor errors. I have no idea why cold_war makes the above comments about "elements." As for "symbolic systems," the lyrics "Transitoire, unique, symbolique de quelques visions imaginaires" would be something like "Transitory, unique, symbolic of (some) imaginary visions." The The moon is free, I believe, That shines above you. The moon is free, More free than one would believe, It fluctuates between this and that, The parts that one does not see, It's not important, it will return And when it is plunged Into cold obscurity Gives the impression that it darkens It quickly gets back on its feet With its unstable appearances Which create doubt More faithful than one would believe The moon is free This has been my favorite Stereolab song since it first appeared. If anyone knows the accurate french, please post. Does anyone with a musical background know if the opening "la" she sings is the "la" of "do re mi fa so la ti do?" "Sugar/ oh, honey, honey/ you are my candy girl/ and you got me wanting you."

    quisquilloso... the la is not the same pitch as the la in "do re me..." ect. and yeah, theres a lot of mistakes in the lyrics... every time it says "elle fluctue de cr et lr" im pretty sure it should be ca et la with an accent circonflexe on the ca... also, "lcvent" is definitely not a french word. I'm not sure what it's supposed to be, im not too good at french ive only been taking it 7 years.

    Ok... I just found these, they look correct: La La lune est libre je crois, qui rayonne au-dessus, rayonne au-d'sus des toits. La lune est libre, bien plus libre qu'on ne le croit, elle fluctue de çà et là, les parties qu'on ne voit pas, c'est pas grave ça reviendra et quand elle est plongée dans la froide obscurité, donne l'impression qu'elle se noie, bien vite reprend pied, avec ses apparences instables y en a qu'elle fait douter bien plus fidèle qu'on ne le croit, La lune est libre. Réceptive et absorbante de la lumière qu'elle renvoie, Elle rayonne au-dessus des toits et fluctue de çà et là. Changeante, fascinante, parfois même éblouissante. C'est ainsi qu'on l'aperçoit Disque parfait, disque lumineux ne vous rappelle-t-elle pas l'hostie/le style ? de ceux qui lèvent la tête dans l'espoir de s'élever un peu. Transitoire, unique, symbolique de quelques visions imaginaires, Elle en impressionne plus d'un qui prennent peur et délirent. Elle est au-dessus de tout ça, Elle est au-dessus de tout ça, Elle est libre de tout ça, Elle est au-dessus de tout ça, Elle est libre de tout ça, Elle est au-dessus de tout ça, La lune est libre je crois, qui rayonne au-dessus, rayonne au-d'sus des toits.

The Last Dance
Within Temptation
@[Kahiara:35260] Actually I think the husband passed away, "She sang for you last night She heard you were calling" Many people say they have felt, heard, or seen their loved ones after they have passed. "Don't be scared now Close your eyes She holds guard tonight Go on forward no remorse Life will take it's course" This is said to the late husband by a third part (never named), who encourages him to pass on. Because life will eventually continue. The phrase "holds guard" refers to the ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake_(ceremony) ) which is a Christian ceremony held after someone dies. Now it is usually held right after the funeral, but in most celtiic countries the wake is held before the funeral. "She danced with you last night so you will remember All you have shared, a lifetime." This sentence feels as if the only thing it wants to convey is their history together, namely, husband and wife. For the rest it just refers back to the first verse.

Anti-Hero
Taylor Swift
I believe this is another amazingly on point and nuanced commentary on the insanity that follows emotionally abusive relationships. The abuser has no anxieties, no emotional pain, or salience/memory for that matter, so the survivor appears to be the crazy one, obsessed with the abuse and that buzzword that seems to ignite arguments about diagnosing people without a degree, etc. funny how you say the words domestic violence, abuse, abuse survivor and boom the subject changes. Anyways, I especially relate to her midnights becoming afternoons, complex PTSD often leads to this phenomenon, whether due to purposeful sleep deprivation by the abuser, or just hyper vigilance associated with the PTSD, along with the fear of facing people, especially your loved ones, who Never actually understand, even if they try, because all they see is you, on fire, screaming about the arsonist that no one ever sees, and who has been spreading lies about your alleged mental instability, deceptive personality, etc. the whole time. While the last thing survivors need is more blame, our society supports a narrative that blames the objectively innocent party because the blatantly guilty party has spent their entire lives fabricating a persona and we’re just being human, and human psychology is quite counterintuitive especially in the context of trauma. Look at Amber Heard. Vilified and not believed, regardless of what any abuse survivor could recognize as a fellow survivor instantly. But Johnny depp is a malignant narcissist, a man, and wealthy as all get out. It’s sick.

Alma Matters
Morrissey
The man has pseudo-friends who constantly criticize his actions. They moralize him, "teach" him and advise him to make a significant change in his life, because the way he is and what he does is not what they say it should be. They may find his life lame or immoral. They hold themselves up as role models. The man replies that he will make his own choices and decisions and he does not agree to unconditionally make himself under the influence of questionable quality advice. He justifies this by saying that there is always someone for whom he will be important, no matter what he does and no matter what he is. Although it is not said directly, I read it as meaning that he will always be important to himself in every way and he will always have his own support. "Everyone is different and maybe that's a good thing, but you exceeded that mark 1000 times" - I remember very well how sad the words I once heard (from my peers and it was in negative context) at school made me feel.
