The french slang for penis is pronounced "beet", I believe.

The Flaming Lips – Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell Lyrics 14 years ago
He just said that the musical context here eradicates the ability to slap that "emo" label on it. Chill pill, take one.

Dirty Projectors – Stillness Is the Move Lyrics 14 years ago
Recently got into this album; fantastic stuff.

On this song, I see it as being about being totally in love and feeling weird that you're feeling all these intimate things like love and desire, which all feel so real and intense, in a world which is so loose and based on pure coincidence.

"why am i here and not over there?
where did time begin
where does space end
where do you and i begin?"

It's the great interior battle between a kind of existential confusion, which makes you feel meaningless, and the great chemical rush of love, which despite being entirely illogical and an illusion, gives you a purpose.

Maybe I'm reading too far into it, but I love the song so I don't really care :P

Dirty Projectors – Cannibal Resource Lyrics 14 years ago
I like this interpretation a lot, it's one of those odd interior battles which lies right in the heart of the human race but no-one ever seems to talk about it.
