The Party's Crashing Us

This song is my guilty pleasure. I have done a lot of things i regret at parties, but this song makes me remeber those moments of fleeting exctacy, and I don't regret one moment of it. I especially like the line "you free me from the past you fucked the suburbs out ot me gone are those ugly days that made us so sick they are just fossils now we learned the elevated tricks" I grew up in a really conservative suburbian house and at school no one would even look at me. Then I get to college, and it's a whole different world from what I had known. Eventually I came out of the closet and found myself a girlfriend, and let's just say...my eyes were opened to a whole new world.

Of montreal is my favorite band. They make catchy music with meaningful lyrics like poetry. I cry whenever i hear their music. i saw them in concert a couple weeks ago and it was the happiest ive ever been in my life. This sound has an incredible chorus and really shows how strong he feels about the person without saying some "i love you" crap. Its like a celebration of the wonders of young love, and its amazing.

this song was great live. the energy made me want to grab and kiss somebody

this song is the theme to my love life.

"you fucked the suburbs out of me" ..i think that means she changed him. she made him who he is now and got him interested in things that are a big part of his life now.

so cool coming to these comments and having people from 2006 describing exactly how i feel listening to this song in 2023. hope you’re all doing well!!!

This song makes me think of what my dog would sing to me, if he could.

You're such a mystery, I just want to stand and stare. Nibble on your ear, and smell the ocean in your hair.

[My dog loves going to the dog beach. He also stares at me the whole way there.]

I know you damage me, you leave me tangled in a knot. But when you reappear, I see neptunian blues that eyes forgot.

[He doesn't like to be separated from me (we currently live apart), but when I'm home to visit he remembers what it was like to see me.]

Still I only feel alive when the VU is flashing, alarms going off in my head. I want to grab you and just kiss you maybe I should sit down, no sense of cashing us now.

[VU = volume unit. We always listen to music on the way there, which he seems to like. We also have a problem with him trying to kiss me while I'm driving, which results in me telling him to sit down.]

Yeah I'll only feel alright when the VU is flashing and bombs going off in my head. I want to grab you or just scream at you no icing me down, the party's crashing us now. [ (Same as before, but screaming = barking, and icing him down = calming him down.]

Oh well we made love like a pair of black wizards. You freed me from the past, you fucked the suburbs out of me.

[Black wizards could symbolize our unique/magical bond. The second line refers to the fact that I rescued him from a kill shelter.]

Oh well those ugly days that made us so sick. They are just fossils now, we've learned the elevating trick.

[Times have changed for us both in a positive way. We now know the trick to "elevating" or being happy.]

eek i know logically this song is about partying and fucking and shiz BUT.....,,,,, as a person with bpd i find this to be such a perfect metaphorical representations of the ups in a relationship for me. i feel this song beautifully illustrates the feelings of love and obsession being so strong that i push past the logical awareness that at many other times (or all in like .actuakly bad relationships) this relationship is fucking killing me in one way or another, and the fragility that this seemingly happy state brings with it when considering my shitty past experiences and constant subconscious sense of doubt. Even if a relationship is healthy and is cool and good and normal, im still mostly internally and mostly silently freaking the fuck out about it any time im not being given attention, so in the few times during a less consistent relationship (which has been urm all of mine so far for USUALLY uncontrollable reasons relating to commute) that i DO get the attention, its the most insane euphoric rush. but that's like the most inherently fleeting state that exists in a relationship like this-- the largely unexplored unusually positive feelings always become so much to handle that i break down and maybe even lash out if something is said or done by them that particularly freaks me out and reminds me of particularly past (romantic or nonromantic) one on one experiences.

off the new one entitled "the sunlandic twins"

Neptunian blues, where that question mark is.

And its "fucked the suburbs out of me" rather than fight.
