Elliott Smith – King's Crossing Lyrics 11 years ago
ya freja I always thought that "The King's Crossing" described the passing of a figurehead - basically how he portrays himself throughout the context of the song - as if the public feasts on watching their celebs deteriorate and go... it's the latest fashion. Elliott, Amy Winehouse, Kurt C., everybody loooovvvvesss to see a celeb destroy themselves...

Patty Griffin – Moses Lyrics 11 years ago
this is a song about complete isolation

"Everybody got somebody with their wine and their beer"

she's sober. she already ruined her life once, earlier, with drugs or alcohol. she's trying to take the high road. but she's alone. and she can't understand how, in trying to save her own life, she's set apart from life itself.

her best friend is gay - there's no hope of essential connection where she needs it.

and she has fallen in love with someone who doesn't know who she is.

she's a tragic figure. in the corner, over there.
