| Sonic Youth – Starpower Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I think it's about being almost too in love for your own good. It's about being completely at the disposal of another person, completely in their power because of the intense euphoria of your love. It seems clear from listening to this that it's about one instant of complete submission to love. | |
| Sonic Youth – Dripping Dream Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
It could be about the destructiveness of our idealistic notions of love and just how not obtaining this "dripping dream" can be so painful and disappointing. In our modern world (evoked in the first verse) there is no chance for obtaining what the "little darlings" observe but don't really understand. It's a dream that always falls flat. Everyone is "searching" for "the cream dream wax" (maybe having something to do with this ideal of love) but in the end it cracks. the lyrics are really abstract though and this is just my own personal projection of meaning. I'm probably wrong, it's just sort of what I see. Oh, also I think "this kind of love comes as no surprise" to mothers because they understand what true love is and it has nothing to do with our romantic ideals. |

| Sonic Youth – Unmade Bed Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
This song is really one of the most incredibly powerful songs ever. It makes me want to cry every time i hear it. For me it evokes the darkest blues and the idea of forever. That's the closest I could ever come to articulating its meaning. Also, I absolutely love the cover of this song by The Vitamin String Quartet. It's amazing. |

| Sonic Youth – Bull In The Heather Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I think this song is about wanting something (sexually) that odds are very against you actually getting. It's about pure and desperate yet unrequited and unrealistic desire. I also get the feeling that deeper down it's about the constant and the very childish need for positive reinforcement. Everyone wants to constantly be told that they are good and desirable etc. but no one really gets it. In a way it's about insecurity. | |
| Sonic Youth – Swimsuit Issue Lyrics | 16 years ago |

The lyric at the end is definitely "I'm swimmin'". The correct lyrics are up on the SY website. It seems pretty clear that this song is a rebellion against the image of the modern woman as a means and not an end in herself, as an object and not a person. |
