lemon filled bowls in your home

lemon filled bowls in your home

those lemon filled bowls in your home

and mama said

oh mama said

oh my mama she said

that i’m a pyramid



the icarus eye in style

the icarus eye in style

it tattooed your breath a while

but pears in bowls

and sowing seeds

oh pears in bowls

and sowing seeds

mean i’m a pyramid

mmmmmmm

mmmm

mean i’m a pyramid



mmmm mmmm

oh soaking almonds in milky mouths

kiss yours into mine don’t let your teeth fall out

and roll all around licking your lips

open up let the mouths take drift



head in the dirt and i’m home

head in the dirt and i’m home

My head in the dirt and i’m home


and you were the missing elements

for a few glow in the dark moments

you were my missing elements

for a few glow in the dark moments------

mmmm mmmmmm

for a moment

mmmmm mmmmm

you were my missing elements

you were my missing elements

and mama said and mama said

oh yes she said

    I think this is a story about parents building you up to go out into the world, as with the story of Icarus whos father built him wings from wax and feathers to escape, with referances to mothers home and the lyrics "my mama she said that i’m a pyramid"

    Other lyrics show a short relationship or sexual encounter "you were the missing elements for a few glow in the dark moments" being exciting but then crashing back down to earth(as icarus fell when wings melted) " head in the dirt and i'm home"

    I love Mariee Sioux lyrics!!

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
