Space and the Woods Lyrics
Suicide is in my blood
It always was
but it doesn't evaporate in the light any more
And this world is no place
For a mind or a thought
No its not
Well thats been said before
But space and the woods still know who I am
and I know they don't owe me anything
not after what I've done.
Put on my radiation suit and slip away
I'm on the run from what I've become
And this life (like suicide)
Runs at a lot of different speeds
and I know they don't owe me anything
not after what I've done
late on a Monday night
I'm on the grapevine
beating around the bush
adds to the bassline
thinking about the time
when I was dancing slow
and out of control
im shit hot so say what you think about me
im not gonna cry cos i dont care (x2)
I've done nothing
I've done nothing
but they forgive anything
like how I don't stop you
breaking my arms
and chopping chopping me down
so I fit in your laptop
I've done nothing
It always was
but it doesn't evaporate in the light any more
For a mind or a thought
No its not
Well thats been said before
and I know they don't owe me anything
not after what I've done.
I'm on the run from what I've become
Runs at a lot of different speeds
and I know they don't owe me anything
not after what I've done
I'm on the grapevine
beating around the bush
adds to the bassline
thinking about the time
when I was dancing slow
and out of control
im not gonna cry cos i dont care (x2)
I've done nothing
but they forgive anything
like how I don't stop you
breaking my arms
and chopping chopping me down
so I fit in your laptop

hahah, i always thought the 'raptured heart' line was 'im shit hot'.
i wish i knew what he says in the bit before that though.
-- yeah, it's "I'm shit hot so, so what you think about me?"
and "I'm not crying cause i. i just don't care!"
Having a bash at the bit before.... "Late on a monday night, i'm on the grapevine beating around the bush and to the bassline singing about the time when i was dancing slow and out of control"
beating around the bush (dance?) to the bassline

"I've done nothing but they forgive anything like how I don't stop you breaking my arms and chopping chopping me down so I fit in your laptop"
Anyone who have an idea about what these lines are about? Can't figure it out...
well, first of all, "i've done nothing" is something he's telling himself. it isn't true, and space and the woods still know what he's done. "they forgive anything" shows that he does feel the guilt weighing in, hence the thoughts of suicide, but his friends and fellow bandmates pretend with him that he's done nothing, even though he hasn't stopped someone (Erol Alkan? the music industry? something darker?) from breaking him down and repackaging him into these songs. he's trying not to think, not to feel, not to acknowledge what he's doing -- "on the run from what I've become"...

I have a feeling that it's about file sharing and the internet, especially the last few lines.
I agree. About Internet and beeing famous. Maybe that "Space And The Woods" are the opposite of Internet ...

Brilliant track, and I agree that it's about the internet and file-sharing (the line about being made to fit into a laptop seems to imply this). Also, the riff = catchiness incarnate.
