| Panda Bear – Take Pills Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I'm pretty sure Panda Bear sampled the beginning part of Scott Walker's "Always Coming Back to You" for the beginning of this song. | |
| Beck – Trouble All My Days Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| This is a very dark song. When the guttural twang of the guitar jams in after that infomercial-y voice stops speaking gives me goosebumps--the good kind. I love the dark, swamplands-sounding Beck. | |
| Lead Belly – Where Did You Sleep Last Night? Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| This is one of those songs where you can imagine living in it. | |
| Animal Collective – Unsolved Mysteries Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song is a cacophonous underwater circus! Thanks for the lyrics. I like this line: "And all was daggers anyway" |

| Bishop Allen – Quarter To Three Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Basically, the bride left the groom. Or is there more? Hmm. Woo! Bishop Allen! |

| !!! – Yadnus Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Don't really have a clue what it means either. Yadnus is Sunday backwards. Heh. I wonder if that has anything to do with the meaning of the song? I dunno'. |

| LCD Soundsystem – Someone Great Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I saw it as the singer being involved in an affair, I interpreted the 'you're smaller than my wife imagined, surprised you were human' metaphorically, as in the woman he had an affair with was even more debased than she had envisioned her to be, but it's more than likely about a death. Considering the possible death aspect of the song I attributed the lovely weather part as irony--because he's saying worst of all is the lovely weather, it's kind of ironic if someone died and it's such a beautiful day outside because most people connote gloomy weather with the lugubrious issue of death. Then he continue by saying the coffee doesn't even taste bitter to him because he's so numb from hearing the news from this early morning phone call which, based on it being early, was a sign of negativity. |

| of Montreal – Spike the Senses Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
As most Of Montreal songs are, testemunha. Judging by the imagery and the last line I'd say it's about drugs. |

| of Montreal – Faberge Falls for Shuggie Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Probably my favorite off the album. I love the dialogue. I saw the band perform this song and Kevin does this thing with a sword...crazy stuff. |
|
| of Montreal – A Sentence of Sorts in Kongsvinger Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I get a "stuck in the realm of my imagination" feel from the song. I adore Kevin Barnes' diction. |
|
| of Montreal – Labyrinthian Pomp Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Who is Georgie Fruit? I've read it's a friend of Kevin's but is it a he or a she or what? It reminds me of Pink Floyd at the "de Gaulle..." part. I thought he was saying "soul superior" as opposed to "so" but I'm probably wrong. So as to the meaning? I was thinking of a pompous celebrity... |

| of Montreal – She's a Rejecter Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I agree with coffeekat on this. The protagonist/narrator has been rejected by a girl and is very disappointed and feels like he wants to hurt her for the pain she has wrought upon him but he can't. Near the end it sounded a little Sonic Youth-y to me. Not that that's bad, just an audible observation. :] |

| Beirut – Elephant Gun Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song is beautiful. It seems to me that this song is about some renegade running away from home. I may be looking at it too literally. |
|
| Nine Inch Nails – Sanctified Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
The bass riff reminds me of the one in the Talking Heads' "Making Flippy Floppy." But ja, Trent has a way of personifying things...even though he may not be personifying anything in this song. Oh, the ambiguity! |
