@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Maybe once and maybe came away
I took a quarter of your wishes
Fed them all aside
The weaker of the fortune's mystery
Hasn't yet all appeared to me
But then I never wanted more than 3
Shade's know any reason
Blame's are all I see
Her allergy's been forsaken maybe
Stir it all on at me
So it seems and so it's came away
Might be the voicings frighten
And so it's gotten me
The weaker of the fortune's mystery
Has finally pissed indeed
Indeed, made it for the eve
Shade's know any reason
Flames are all I see
Hala-tease been forsaken maybe
Stirin all on a lee
Now they're gonna burn me
Make all my flesh away'd
Real green turnin half ball shakin
Leave me, horror day.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I'm pretty sure the line here as "Has finally passed indeed" is actually "Has finally pissed it deep."
There's a lot of occultic symbolism in this song, but I've never been sure what the song is about. Lots of talk of judgement. . .obviously, whatever has happened to leave who ever "she" is forsaken, the speaker thinks he's going to be blamed, physically, morally, and mystically.
I'm pretty sure that more than half these lyrics are not what Buzzo's actually saying.
Unfortunately, I don't know what Buzzo's saying and I don't know any online site that has official lyrics. Usually I think Melvins songs aren't about lyrics just about the sound of the vocals. At the Stake is one of my favorite Melvins songs. The chorus is real heavy but the important thing is the way he draws in his breath before it begins.
I guess it's probably about the general concepts of judgement and punishment.
flames are all i see now they're gonna burn me make all my flesh away
Wow, 3 comments on such a great song? I love the guitar part at the end. The continuous riff. Such A good song.
I've always loved this song, it was actually the song that got me to really look into the Melvins after having semi-listened to them a while. There's something about this song, a dark atmosphere, something beyond the lyrics when you just read them here. Read straight forward as the lyrics are here (if they're right at all) they seem to be about the burning of witches or something of the sorts, but i don't know, there's something more i think.
these are the wrong lyrics for sure. Buzzo enjoy's taunting us through riddle rather than mainstream
Read other Melvins lyrics. I agree with whoever else said it's not about the lyrics. HOWEVER. This song obviously talks about judgment and punishment... and centers around witches.
I also hear Flames are all I see and Now they're gonna burn me Take all my flesh away...
BUT. I don't think it's so much he's shrouding the song in mystery as that he's just saying some minacing-ass stuff to lend to the furious/distraught nature of the song.
Forgive my spelling.
Joan of Arc burned at the stake. You're welcome.
