the song 'the biggest lie', by elliott smith, conor covered it and it's on the motion sickness record.
and in 2003 conor also did an elliott smith tribute with a bunch of other artists.
it's not just like someone said 'oh, it must be about elliott.' there are significant things leading people to think that, not just the fact that he is a dead guy.
the lines 'the way your eyes would gloss over...', elliott smith was a heroine addict a large portion of his life.
as well, elliott smith was depressed, mainly from the drugs, so the line "tried to breathe in meaning
dig deep to every gasp of air.." refers to the depression.
i understand that that could refer to any drug addict who was depressed, but the connections that conor had with elliott, as well as the fact that they were both born in omaha makes it more likely that it would be him than tupac.
i agree with the entire elliott smith thing.
