Lyric discussion by TheMattford 

Cover art for Nothing At All lyrics by Shins, The

Just some lyric corrections.

"I see that you can finally see" is actually "You cut your eyes so you can finally see."

And in the chorus, is might be "flaw," but I hear

"There must be a fault in this fable, I Have to contend with you all night."

And as far as this song being disappointing goes, it's not. The chord progression does sound the see, which really isn't that hard considering it's probably written in the same key. The melody itself is not the same, perhaps the theme, but not the range. Perhaps this song was inspired by Silhouettes, it's not uncommon to manipulate the same tones and themes from a piece that inspired the piece being written.

The song in itself, especially with James' lyricism, is awesome.

yup, yup. Mattford, I think you're right on the lyric updates.

Also... in the part originally missed and labeled [huh], I believe it's:

"Your mom, she culled you all on T.V. and you could still hit a ball."

Seems to me to be referring to someone's wasted childhood, but that the person in question is still alright. I love the use of the word "cull". It seems to imply that the person was ditched by mom. ah, so sad.

As to how this relates to the rest of the song... I have no idea.
