I agree with Decipherer's song meaning and his lyrics look pretty close to accurate, except I hear "chainsmoking until the sky was grey" in the beginning.
Cool song, and it's even better now that I know wtf he's saying.
@ 2:05 into the song... Dope!
yep, the "chain-smoking line" makes more sense than mine. that was a line i struggled with :)—maybe because i don't smoke lol. there are probably a good number more mistakes in my lyrics, but, as i said in another post, at the time of writing my interpretation of the lyrics, i had no points of reference other than the song itself: there were no lyrics on the internet that sounded even close to being correct. my hope is that my lyrics, flawed as they are, will at least give future interpreters something to grab onto when tackling this tricky song....

there are three main difficulties in deciphering lotus plaza lryics: (1) the vocals are low in the mixes, (2) pundt often sings indistinctly and mumbly, and (3)—the biggest difficulty—pundt doesn't really care about proper grammar when writing his lyrics. one of the main tools of a lyrics decipherer is his use of deductive reasoning. a helpful question for decipherers to ask is "does this lyric make sense?" pundt's lyrics, having tense problems and other grammatical inconsistancies, are somewhat resistant to this approach. ironically, the same thing that give pundt's lyrics a colloquial charm, are what make them so esoteric.

Most of these indie/lo-fi rock bands have singers who's lyrics are hard to understand, like Beach Fossils, UMO, etc, but their vocals always sound real good imo. Your interpretation of this song looks spot on to me, and your lyrics were close enough(not really flawed at all), so thanks :) The only parts that sounded different to me were; the 'chainsmoking' part, and- "Paced around the room and ate his hand" ..sounds more like "Paced around my room and" ... can't make out the rest of that line, but "ate his hand" doesn't seem right. And I think he says...

And I think he says "Shedding all the bones under his flesh" in the second verse. I love Locketts vocals. One of my favorite Deerhunter songs, if not THE favorite, is 'Desire Lines' which is sung by him! He's the man!

I hear "Late, when I, meet shadows for a drink" in the second verse. Sick lyrics if that's correct lol
