No Name #2 Lyrics

Cover art for No Name #2 lyrics by Elliott Smith

yeah i totally agree with the 'do what you have to do' thats what i was thinking. see i think its this bout this guy who gets stoned and his girlfriend calls him. 'Concrete Hands Pick Up the Telephone Ring'. when im stoned i just feel soooo heavy and just wanna sit and think to myself and smile. so anyway she calls and tells him shes pregnant and of course any guy would do this, he flipps out. 'do you know who your talking to? yeah and i dont care who' 'she whispered quiet terror news' he then wants to like get outta it he doesnt care if its a baby or not he wants to get rid of it. 'he didnt give a hoot, he sed do what you have to do.' so he gets up from his sitting position. (whenever i get up quick and im outta it i just have to sit down, or i fall over) that could be 'im lieing here on the ground' or mabe 'a studdering step you hear when your falling down' so i think she says to him im keeping the baby and hes not ready for a baby, as you can see hes a junkie mess. now on the inside hes crying to himself. 'killing time wont stop this crying' and i think 'time' stands for when the babys due. he's a loose cannon now and mabe suicidal? 'you better start watching what messages that you send now' 'no more situations ill only go in to be kicked out' then hes saying how it hit him like a brick wall he wasnt expecting this at all. he was just "leaning back chilln out" 'he got knocked down leaning like he ran into a cloths line' BUT HEY WHAT DO I KNOW? Thats just what i kindda got outta the song. hes a great artist its a shame how his life ended. what a way to go man. but hey we can only hope hes in a better place now. Peace.

@TheReasonableMan Yeah the unwanted pregnancy theory is cool and reasonable.

Probably the same Elliott was involved in, at some point but I guess just as a Fake Flag, as I never knew he actually had some kids.

As far as I know he died without leaving any decendency. Kind of sadly I guess.

Comminly depressive people just detest the idea of having children. And I know what I mean.
