| Modest Mouse – Little Motel Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
favorite MM song. "we're better than this." seems to me to be about a breakup, and wishing the relationship had never even happened, but at the same time dreading being alone in a little motel again, even if that's what we're waiting for, aren't we? |

| Elliott Smith – A Distorted Reality Is Now a Necessity to Be Free Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
this is one of those songs that was really powerful years ago and is still really powerful now for completely different reasons. "the devil's script sells you the heart of a blackbird" damn. ain't that the truth. way to take down the music industry and our whole country's hypocrisy in one fell swoop. of course, elliott's on MAD drugs for this song. but he admits that in the title. |

| best song on politics ever written, IMHO | |
| Late of the Pier – Space and the Woods Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
well, first of all, "i've done nothing" is something he's telling himself. it isn't true, and space and the woods still know what he's done. "they forgive anything" shows that he does feel the guilt weighing in, hence the thoughts of suicide, but his friends and fellow bandmates pretend with him that he's done nothing, even though he hasn't stopped someone (Erol Alkan? the music industry? something darker?) from breaking him down and repackaging him into these songs. he's trying not to think, not to feel, not to acknowledge what he's doing -- "on the run from what I've become" -- but space and the woods still know. does that help? |

| MGMT – Flash Delirium Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
BREAK FREE DON'T STAY INERT if you embrace consumerism, it will destroy you, and in more inventive ways than you thought possible if computer screens become our sunlight, the violence we try to ignore will come out at us and through us ages are stuck together after all, and our nation still has a price to pay for its past and its present so regain that backbone and turn back towards the sun and stop listening to that electric feel shit even they admit that money is their honey. |

| They'll tell you what they saw but you can't believe... | |
| The Mars Volta – Eriatarka Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
"if you only knew the plans they had for us..." obviously the singers, as well as the listeners, are being used. "they used to have pulses in them, but impulses made them strong..." you know what this song means if you've ever stared at your ceiling and asked "is it wrong?" |

| The Flaming Lips – It Overtakes Me/The Stars Are So Big, I Am So Small . . . Do I Stand a Chance? Lyrics | 13 years ago |

| Late of the Pier – Heartbeat Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| its just a lie | |
| Late of the Pier – Blueberry Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
"Sunday morning I wake up" --- you can hear the beauty and innocence of this section of the song, it sounds like someone connected to God in its simplicity. Then when it gets to the chorus, and the distortion and psychedelia start to kick in, you can hear the simplicity get corrupted. I heard different lyrics for the chorus. I might go back and try to pick them out later but I'm currently without headphones. What I heard was, "a lip, a deception," which made me feel that in the distortion, they had lost whatever innocence they started with in the first verse and been taken over. I want to find my way back to the feeling of the beginning. |

| Late of the Pier – Best In The Class Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I've never been so sure that a song had deeply satanic undertones. I think the "we" in this song is the demonic forces that work through the music, and through the false messages in the lyrics that we've heard all our lives --- loosen up, live the dream, etc. Unfortunately, we can never really know what our dreams are or if they are truly for our benefit, so our dreams can be exploited by those who have had longer to plan what they want to do with us, which is to use us as a conduit of evil. Basically what I'm saying is, don't listen to this on acid. |
