Accidntel Deth

The title's spelled wrong for whomever submitted this to this site. Deth, however is spelled right. Never got why they did that the way they did.

The "lying motionless" thing is nothing to do with sex, the song's about someone who has died. most notably, it's alluding to you and your personal actions and choices. Is that not blatantly obvious by the title, chorus, multiple references, etc?

The Indian is accidentally trapped where they ought not to have been. Ergo, their death is imminent. ACCIDENTAL FUCKIN' DETH. The title of the song, once again.

The suicide idea of the gun is a somewhat plausible meaning, but I personally think the whole damn phrase is about someone accidentally ruining someone else's life, making mistakes along the way in their life, something so devastating that it causes an epiphany, and Jenny was asking the audience if they would change their ways, whatever form of treachery they were.

The brain/body thing is about you worrying trying to identify yourself so much that by the time you've got yourself a label, your time is up. Or something along those lines.

And why, on this website, is every song about drugs? Sure, there's something about drugs in some songs, but I've seen it on bands that don't associate with drugs in any song, at all. Just a personal comment on this site.

Some other ideas of different parts seemed plausible, but others failed miserably.

The title is spelled "Accidntel" because of Jimmy Tamborello, who also goes by "Dntel".

awesome song, great lyrics

there are a few errors in those lyrics, the main one being that they repeat four times and never actually get to the end of the song. lets try this again: you're obsessed with finding a new brain but what you need is a new body it feels your brain has lived a thousand lives before and the skin you call your home holds a heart that quits and knees that buckle in and lungs that can't breathe when they're alone and the days come to you like sailors you watch them as they drift away they meet the sunrise out at the horizon and it's neither sink nor swim at least the water's beneath your chin

there's blood spilled on the floor everyone's staring at you, what for till you realize the blood is probably yours you feel you've lost something you want it back you're lying motionless on your back and your legs aren't taking any more requests those disobedient wrecks how you cared for them as they carried you from class to class and coast to coast when you owned land and when you were broke through recessions and addictions

it's just your accidental death your accidental death it's just your accidental death you're the indian in the cougar's nest

your fright gives way to memory having coffee with your love or the story your father told you long ago he was hunting with his own father for deer he pointed and spotted her and tripped over some roots or some dead trees the gun went off it was a mistake and my father was only eight and as he watched the dying deer he was changed cause cos he felt sorry for what he'd done and he put down his gun will you feel sorry for what you've done? will you put down your gun? it's just your accidental death your accidental death cause there's no accidental death when you're the indian in the cougar's nest

The song is also called AccidntEl Deth, not Accidntl Deth.

This song is mainly just about finding yourself, or finding something that you lost. Not a tangible thing. I don't know, love or faith. It can definetely change for different people. It's about a nice family for me. Because, I take some of the lyrics as metaphors.

i really see it as being about someone who shot themself...

"will you feel sorry for what you've done? will you put down your gun?"

"cause there's no accidental death"

it's a really great song though...does anyone knw what the indian in the cougar's nest means? i figured it was some suicide thing, but maybe not

I think it's a song about addiction. It says "when you owed rent and you were broke/through recessions and addictions." All before that line it talks about how your body is failing but "You're obsessed with finding a new brain" because you want to rid yourself of your addictions. I think also maybe the cougar's nest part might mean something about how you choose what happens to you. it says "there's no accidental death/when you're the indian in the cougar's nest." just my thoughts, may be way off...i love this song

this is only the most depressing song ever. i always thought this song was about old age and dying.

I always thought being the Indian in the cougar's nest was putting yourself in a dangerous situation..
