| Modest Mouse – Dramamine Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| an interesting perspective...."traveling"...through life, maybe? "swallowing dramamine" may refer to human being's uncanny ability to "swallow" anger/grief/disenchantment and convince ourselves that we are actually fulfilled. We prefer to endure a lifetime of torture to avoid the brief and temporary despair associated with a break-up/separation/divorce...which is often the most liberating experience of one's life...ironic? | |
| William Fitzsimmons – It's Not True Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
ok so i kinda disagree with the whole ex-gf theory...i mean yes, the relationship is over...that's a given...but i'm leaning more toward the cause being death. this is due to the fact that he is living with a memory. the first line of the song drove this point home for me. "Should I decide it’s true? That you might leave if given half the chance to go and I be left here on my own, to find myself in bed, wishing everything that changed would be the same." clearly, his memory is keeping her alive and he is in charge of the "decision" to keep her around. Also in the lines, "Room still looks like you, it’s a mess and all the pictures on the shelf, dusted off by someone else, to keep me company, having told her that your thoughts still linger on." only in a situation similar to a death would another woman respect and accept that their partner still has feelings for their previous lover. just a hunch...who knows...just listen to the song with that concept in mind. there are several subtle hints that suggests that she has passed. |

ok...i am probably one of judee sill's biggest fans EVER!!! if you are also familiar with her work and life history, it will be easily contrived that she was under the influence of one if not all of the following substances... * Alcohol * Amphetamines * Cocaine and Crack * Cough and Cold Medicines (DXM) * Depressants * Ecstasy * GHB * HEROIN * Inhalants * Ketamine * LSD * Marijuana * Methamphetamine * Rohypnol ...and from there may we understand and interpret the true meaning of this song along with many others. |

| Judee Sill – The Lamb Run Away With The Crown Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| i believe that judee is describing the monster that lives within each of us and how it can often rush us into hostile situations...when remaining cool, calm, and collected like a lamb could easily soothe the matter. just a hunch. i always play this song when i'm mad or i've had a bad day. it reminds me not to take life so seriously!lol | |
| Ani DiFranco – Freakshow Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| have you ever heard some moron spout out, "i don't care what ppl think of me!"...yeah well bull shit...everyone cares to some extent...explaining why the majority of the american population wear clothes everyday!lol the careless folk willing to bear all are few and far between...proving that the rest of us are just a bunch of hypocritical bull shitters that do in fact CARE what others think!lol seriously though...she simply explains everything in the words "but UNDERNEATH there’s another EXPRESSION that the makeup isn't making…life under the big top, it's about FREEDOM, it's about FAKING...there's an ART to the LAUGHTER, there's a SCFIENCE and there's a lot of LOVE and COMPLIANCE." does this NOT explain LIFE...whether you are work, school, or simply laying in the arms of your lover...you are only YOU on the inside...everyone else receives the censored "cool" version of "us". | |

This song is a simple tale of realization, devastation, and liberation. The song begins with this individual crumbling in the hands of a disengaged lover. “In my mind I’m crawling on your floor Vomiting and defeated”. Due to the “reluctant” words of their lover this person is left writhing in the confines of his/her own mind. The inability to hold it together causes a “total absence of grace”. These “rubber bands” are much like “barriers” or “walls”. In effort to protect ones self from the devastation associated with heart break (“crawling”), the individual has also become blocked from the pleasures and joy in life (“falling”). “In my repeated dreams you stare at me with an empty gaze” the thought of rekindling love finally dissipates when the individual grasps that love is in fact lost. “You turn your back on me, and you search for more intriguing days” describes his/her realization that they have been abandoned for the possibility of something or someone better. In my opinion, “Loathing this” conveys the disgust one feels toward themselves for being weak, the situation for being painful, and their lover for being cruel. “Controlling this” could illustrate the attempt to mask erratic behavior and emotions. And last, “Let me get a hold of this” may be the attempt to pick up the pieces and start over. The following line, “And then when you are not in my dreams and not in my mind but we are at the same place at the same time” captures the true beauty of liberation. His/her wounds have finally healed and discarded the pain that had once plagued their every thought. He/she is now ready to “search for more intriguing days” as well. The “rubber” wall can “no longer hold” the new found strength within one’s soul. “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”. |
