Pitseleh is a beautifully sad song - I can hear the fragility of Elliot Smith oozing out in this song. Pitseleh is apparantly a yiddish word meaning "little one" so it is a term of endearment in this song. Obviously he is regretting losing someone he loved, but seemingly someone he had to convince to love him back. Seems like a love that was doomed from the start, but Elliot doesn't seem ready to change who he is to suit her. He realizes that he is wrought with holes, but that's just who he is.
A silent kid is looking down the barrel
To make the noise that I kept so quiet
A silent kid is looking down the barrel
To make the noise that I kept so quiet
Before you do as the devil pleases
And give up the thing you love
Before you do as the devil pleases
And give up the thing you love
The first time I saw you
I knew it would never last
I'm not half what I wish I was
I'm so angry, I don't think it'll ever pass
And I was bad news for you, just because
I never meant to hurt you
The first time I saw you
I knew it would never last
I'm not half what I wish I was
I'm so angry, I don't think it'll ever pass
And I was bad news for you, just because
I never meant to hurt you
......all suicide references ... lyrics are easy with the right eyes and the right ears .. unlesss uv been there u dont see it .....
