Grave Architecture Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Willd 

Cover art for Grave Architecture lyrics by Pavement

Another Pavement song with sexual connotations.

Let's see.

Grave..architecture for a grave.

"Strip the cr(y)p(t) and the others erupt."

"Crooks (hey hey), they need the talent to breed"

"It takes a locksmith baby to push you off And I'm pushing you back It takes a locksmith baby to push you off"

I believe at least one layer of this song is about rejecting seduction, as the views by SM or whom the song is representing is Just. Not. Interested.

Furthermore if you can follow this interpretation, the "And the hood so rad and I'm fucking glad" line is fucking hilarious.

On further listening I hear.

"Strip the crypt and the ovens erupt"

and

"Is it old, am I (e?)quipped"

I'm in complete agreement with Willd.
