Elliott Smith – Between the Bars Lyrics 19 years ago
hmmm... to me: "drink up with me" --- he's not there with her, he's just in her head. he was already caught. then she visits him where he's being held. she wants to get caught and put away with him. and him saying he will keep those people away is an empty promise because he can't do anything, he's already been locked away. she knows she doesn't really want to get caught, and he knows he can't do anything to help her. they're just caught up in the moment of togetherness.

Modest Mouse – Doin' the Cockroach Lyrics 19 years ago
TheoReo:

"One year
Twenty years
Forty years
Fifty years
Down the road in your life
You'll look in the mirror
And say, "My parents are still alive."

I think it means that even though your parents are dead and gone, and you're aging.. you're turning into your parents. You look in the mirror and your reflection isn't what you thought it would be, you're not different, you're just like everything was before you. Just like the point of the song.. no one is different, we all live the same, do the same things; that's the way it is now and that's the way it's going to be forever. Sorry, kinda wordy...

Radiohead – Idioteque Lyrics 19 years ago
I found a simpler meaning --- mass hysteria.

I feel it's just about how things can get so blown out of proportion... how people who don't really know what's going on cling to any information they are given. When everyone leans to the majority's side, there's mass hysteria.

(The signs of mass hysteria being the bunkers, news of an Ice Age coming, taking the money and running, etc.)

"I'll laugh until my head comes off." --- It's just crazy watching all of this happen.

"I have seen too much" = one side
"I haven't seen enough" = the other side
"You haven't seen it" = government

Xiu Xiu – Walnut House Lyrics 19 years ago
i'd say it's about some bad things jamie has done. and the way he repeats "don't worry mom" over and over, maybe thats just to show how often he's done these things and how monotonous it is when he reassures his mother.

Xiu Xiu – Apistat Commander Lyrics 19 years ago
when you're looking at things from a distance, everything looks so nice and peaceful. it's not so hard because you get to see the big picture. people can try bring you back down to earth, but being in that state is thrilling and relieving.
