Pandora (for Cindy)

i love this song and it means absolutely nothing. :)

Cocteau Twins are masters of creating great atmosphere with nothing but lyrical jibberish.

yeah, I'd prefer to not see the 'lyrics'...I like them for lyrical jibberish

considering Liz Fraser says she picked random words from lots of diffrent languages to make her lyrics when recording this album this entire page is pointless and these lyrics are wrong

The lyrics are definitely gibberish- just barely there words and sounds mumbled to add texture and take you to a different dimension. Its amazing how Liz makes lyrics into another type of sound, its like it adds another layer to the music besides the instrumentation and despite the lack of concrete words with a decided meaning. Liz truly uses her voice as an instrument. This song makes me feel two things: Resignation to the inevitable. And indifference in the face of death. Like a society is dying off, but they aren't afraid, instead they are accepting, ready even. And they sing their magical, otherworldly swan song as they march straight towards destruction. Somehow its not completely depressing though.. its almost admirable instead. Like maybe death will bring them to a better place. That's what I see when I sit back, listen, and close my eyes. Other thoughts? I'd love to hear from some people. :)

Lyrics (although unintelligible) give a unique ambiance to this nice lazily flowing melody. Picture in my mind a girl just having been jolted by a lover (or arriving at the final realization of a relationship having come to an end) walking alone (slowly) along a wet empty sidewalk trying to deal with the difficult task of (the seemingly futile attempt) of making sense of the loss.

Clearly a song about Applebee's. She says it a bunch of times. Seriously, though, it's jibberish that creates a great mood. With good lyrical rythme.
