| The Smashing Pumpkins – Perfect Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Someone may have mentioned this already, but this part: perfect strangers when we meet strangers on the street lovers while we sleep just depicts perfectly how one acts when they see an ex. You pretend like nothing ever occurred between you two, you are polite (maybe) to each other, its somewhat of an act, because, no matter how long it has been, you are lovers while you sleep, because you don't have much control over your dreams. You dream about that person from time to time, and the intense feelings that were felt in the relationship are still there if only in dreams. This also could explain the lovers out of time line, because if you dream about the lover, its like there has been no time that has passed. The restrictions of time and space have little do do with one's unconscious and/or subconscious mind when the heart/emotion is involved. |

| Belle & Sebastian – Piazza, New York Catcher Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I am reading "Stone Butch Blues" which is an biography by Leslie Feinburg about a butch (she refers to herself this way) woman's unbelievably harsh experiences-some occurring at bars in New York-usually in the Tenderloin. This song always comes to mind when I read the book because the book is probably one of the saddest I have ever read. I always wonder if he is referring to this book, which came out in the early 90s. | |

| Maps And Atlases – Witch Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I think there is an allusion to Joan of Arc. She was considered a witch, and she probably had short hair to disguise herself as a man when she went into battle. It could also mean kid's are playing battled, someone idolizing Joan of Arc. | |
| Bowerbirds – Olive Hearts Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I think it is about being somewhere foreign, and trying to fit in. Of course it has to to with drinking as well. It is also about being abroad, feeling vulnerable, and ignoring a feeling of homesickness by just blending in with the life you have at the moment to not feel so isolated. | |
| Taken By Trees – Too Young Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I think this song is about either the narrator gave a child up for adoption, or someone close to her gave a child up for adoption. She's saying the child should grow up with a strong heartbeat, and maybe she couldn't give her that herself. It's probably the real mother because she is so concerned with the child's well being, as a mother would be. | |
