Touched Something's Hollow Lyrics
Why am I such poison, girl?
I don't know how long I can hold on
If it's going to be like this forever
Why am I so troubled, girl?
I don't know how long I can hold on
If it's going to be like this forever
cleeeearly a musical interpretation of "daniel after dentist".
That made my whole day.
That made my whole day.
Isn't this For Our Elegant Caste?
Yes it is. Touched Something's Hollow is why am I?
Wow, really? It's so simple and honest, an element we hardly see in Barnes's work anymore. I love it.
it sounds a lot like slow beatles songs
it sounds a lot like slow beatles songs
love this. just so simple, the bare bones of the thought.
I agree, it's not the most fun, dancy song to listen to on the album. Still, it is important reflection on Barnes. Personally, I think Barnes use of his voice really makes this song a great simple song.
this is my favorite song on the new album. as far as meaning goes, it's probably about Kevin Barnes being torn about his alter ego Georgie Fruit. i'm willing to bet he wrote this song soon after the songs on Icons Abstract Thee
I absolutely LOVE how at the song ends with the very plodding piano, Barnes singing, "I don't know how long I can hold on / If it's gonna' be like this forever...", and then it moves right into the frenetic, optimistic trumpets of An Eluardian Instance. Musically, it says that when one feels that way, they simply have to wait it out and things will change. The truth of life is chaotic, Dionysian proteanism.
