I’ve gotta big big big heart beat, yeah
I think you are the sweetest thing
I wear a coat of feelings and they are loud
I’ve been having good days
Think we are the right age to start our own peculiar ways?
With good friendly homes
You get me freaked freaked freaked on Preakness
I’ve never met a girl that
Likes to drink with horses
Knows her Chinese ballet
I must admit you smell like fruity nuts and good grains
But could you show my purple gaze a thing or two at night?
It’d make me sick sick sick to kiss you and I think that I would vomit
But I’ll do that on Mondays
I don’t have to work away
I like it when I bump you
An accident’s a truth gate
I’m humbled in your pretty lens
I’ll hold you don’t you go
Sometimes you’re quiet and sometimes I’m quiet, Hallelujah!
Sometimes I’m talkative and sometimes you’re not talkative, I know
Well I’d like to spread your perfume around the old apartment
Could we live together and agree on the same wares
A trapeze is a bird cage and even if its empty it definitely fits the room
And we would too
And my dear dear dear Khalana
I talk too much about you
Their ears are getting tired of me singing all the night through
Lets just talk together
You and me and me and you
And if there’s nothing much to say
Well, silence is a bore
I’ve gotta big big big heart beat, yeah
I think you are the sweetest thing
I wear a coat of feelings and they are loud
I’ve been having good days
Think we are the right age to start our own peculiar ways?
With good friendly homes
Sometimes you’re quiet and sometimes I’m quiet, Hallelujah!
Sometimes I’m talkative and sometimes you’re not talkative, I know
Sometimes you hear me when others they can’t hear me. Hallelujah!
Sometimes I’m naked and thank god sometimes you’re naked. Well, hello
Can I tell you that you are the purple in me?
Can I call you just to hear you would you care?
When I saw you put your purple finger on me
There’s a feeling in your bottle
Found your bottle, found your heart
Gives a feeling from your bottled little part
(Stevie Wonder version)
I just called to wonder if you care
I just called one try but it was busy
I got that feeling from your bottle found your bottle
Found your heart
I’ve got that feeling from your bottled little part
Eh-oh!
Gotta crush high
Thought I crushed all I could
Crushed all I can then I crushed your hand
Crush high
Don’t want it to stop
Cause stories of your brother make my crush high bop
And you couldn’t really know cause its in my toes
And sometimes I wonder where’d that crush high go
Crush high
Then i go and take some pills
Cause I cant do all of my dose and still feel ill
You get that WOOOO!
I think you are the sweetest thing
I wear a coat of feelings and they are loud
I’ve been having good days
Think we are the right age to start our own peculiar ways?
With good friendly homes
You get me freaked freaked freaked on Preakness
I’ve never met a girl that
Likes to drink with horses
Knows her Chinese ballet
I must admit you smell like fruity nuts and good grains
But could you show my purple gaze a thing or two at night?

i agree, its definitely about being extremely infatuated with someone. :)
Almost a detailed experience of it.
"Khalana" might actually be "kalana." It is a Hawaiian word that can not be accurately translated to English. The best translation is 'forgiveness' that denotes blame and victimization as a recognition that the world is not a perfect place, and none of us are perfect beings. When using DXM you feel a deep connection to the world and you get a sense of understanding that you often overlook in daily life. Perhaps he talks too much about this "understanding" (khalana/kalana) when high on DXM.
Also in the last few lines he talks about his "crush high" ending and going to take pills. DXM is also found in allergy pills. He goes from "the purple bottle" (cough syrup) to allergy pills. Either way he is getting high on DXM. His love.
"I wear a coat of feelings and they are loud, I've been having good days..." - Possibly referring to the happy feeling you get when in love, so much so that you may scream or get giddy when you think of your special somebody, or how you may wear your emotions out for the world to see as things are suddenly going right and you're having 'good days'.
"Sometimes you're quiet and sometimes I'm quiet, hallelujah!" - Taking solace in the fact that it's okay to be quiet, and that it doesn't always mean something's on your mind or things are going sour. Things are going just fine, and it's good to feel mutual emotions.
I've always thought of purple as the color of life, and passion, and luxury. You're the purple in me - you're the life in me. Purple bottle - containing life, or giving your life and passion away to somebody else.
"Crushed all I could then I touched your hand" - Could be referring to dating so many people and thinking you've always found 'the one' till the true one comes around.
But really, Animal Collective is so brilliant that every one of their songs is interpreted differently by everyone, like dreams, or life itself. That's the beauty of a song like this, you're NEVER going to understand the true meaning or story behind it :)
was the nickname of his wife,
