| The Fall – The Classical Lyrics

One of my favourites. Hex Enduction Hour is essentially an attack on British pop culture, which is what this song seems to be about.
Ahh Mark E. Smith is insane and i love him. It's unfortunate how little known this band is. |

| Interpol – Precipitate Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
It always seemed to me like Daphne is just a fictional character Paul has made up to represent his ideal girl, someone he's looking for to fulfill his needs and desires. In a Pitchfork interview Paul said ,"I went through a phase where I was fixated on girls names that, for me, kind of represented something. So in "Precipitate", Daphne is the character. It was actually more to do with certain female names that were really interesting to me."
Alot of the lyrics are still pretty allusive to me but that just gives you a general idea of what the song is probaly about.
One line that always interested me was "Saturn makes your mind break in pieces." In Roman mythology Saturn is the god of agriculture who represented a golden utopian age of happiness. Maybe he's saying how constant happiness can make you go crazy, you "cannot find dimensions" and he's using this line as a persuasive mechanism to get this girl to "walk through his gloom"
I don't know. Just a thought. |

When I saw Bright Eyes in Omaha, Conor played this song and he said he wrote it about his cousin Ian, who is his "best friend in the whole world". or something along those lines. I wonder what the reference to the yellow bird means? I've heard it in a couple other songs... |

i think it's "you'll be dancing senseless in your bedroom", not sexless. and it's also "i remember/it was summer/i was out of my head/but you weren't/you're selfish and/a waste of space" |
