The Cribs
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
One of those fucking awful black days when nothing is pleasing and everything that happens is an excuse for anger
2
An outlet for emotions stockpiled
3
An arsenal
4
An armor
5
These are the days when I hate the world
6
Hate the rich
7
Hate the happy
8
Hate the complacent
9
The tv watchers, beer drinkers, the satisfied ones
10
Because I know I can be all those little hateful things and then I hate myself for realizing that
11
There is no preventative, directive, or safe approach for living
12
We each know our own faith
13
We know from our youth how to be treated and how we'll be received and how we shall end
14
These things don't change
15
You can change your clothes, change your hairstyle, your friends, cities, continents
16
But sooner or later your old self will always catch up
17
Always it waits in the wings
18
(Ideas swirl but don't stick.
19
They appear but then run off like rain on the windshield.)
20
One of those rainy day car rides
21
My head imploded
22
The atmosphere in this car a mirror of my skull
23
Wet, damp, windows dripping and misted with cold
24
Walls of gray
25
Nothing good on the radio
26
Not a thought in my head
27
Be safe
28
I know a place we can go where you'll fall in love so hard that you'll wish you were dead
29
Let's take life and slow it down incredibly slow
30
Frame by frame
31
Like two minutes that take ten years to live out
32
Yeah, let's do that
33
Telephone poles like praying mantis against the sky
34
Metal arms outstretched
35
So much land traveled, so little sense made of it
36
It doesn't mean a thing all this land laying out behind us
37
I'd like to take off into these woods and get good and lost for a while
38
I'm disgusted with petty concerns - parking tickets, breakfast specials
39
Does someone just have to carry this weight?
40
Abstract topography
41
Methane covenant
42
Linear gospel
43
Ashville saleslady
44
Stagian emmisary
45
Torturous lice
46
Mad Elizabeth
47
(Keep a better peoples)
48
The light within me shines like a diamond mine
49
Like an unarmed walrus
50
Like a dead man face down on the highway
51
Like a snake eating it's own tail
52
A steam turbine
53
Frog pond
54
Too-full closet burst open in disarray
55
Soap bubbles in the sun
56
Hospital deathbed
57
Red convertible
58
Shopping list
59
Blow job
60
Death's head
61
Devils dancing
62
Bleached white buildings
63
Memory movements
64
The movie unpeeling, unreeling, about to begin
65
I've seen your hallway
66
You're a dark hallway
67
I hear your stairs creak
68
I can fix my mind on your yes and your no
69
I'll feel your face today in the sparkling canal
70
All red, yellow, blue-green brilliance and silver Dutch reflection
71
Racing thoughts
72
Racing thoughts all too real
73
You're moving so fast now I can't hold your image
74
This image I have of your face by the window
75
Me standing beside you
76
Arm on your shoulder
77
A catalog of images, flashing glimpses
78
Then dawn again
79
Untethered to this post you've sunk in me
80
Every clear afternoon now I'll think of you up in the air
81
Twisting your heel and your knees up around me
82
My face in your hair
83
You scream so well
84
Your smile so loud
85
Still rings in my ears
86
Inhibition
87
Distant tied-up longing
88
Clean my teeth
89
Stay the course
90
Hold the wheel
91
Steer on to freedom
92
Open all the boxes
93
Open all the boxes
94
Open all the boxes
95
Open all the boxes
96
Times Square mid-day
97
Newspaper buildings
98
News headlines going around
99
We watch as they go and hope for some good ones
100
Those tree shadows in the park they're all whistling chasing leaves.
101
Around six pm
102
Shadows across the cobblestones
103
Girl in front of bathroom mirror
104
She's slow and careful
105
Paints her face green, mask-like
106
Like Matisse
107
Portrait with Green Stripe
108
Long shot through apartment window
109
A monologue on top but no girl in shot
110
The light within me shines like a diamond mine
111
Like an unarmed walrus
112
Like a dead man face down on the highway
113
Like a snake eating it's own tail
114
A steam turbine
115
Frog pond
116
Too-full closet burst open in disarray
117
Soap bubbles in the sun
118
Hospital deathbed
119
Red convertible
120
Shopping list
121
Blow job
122
Death's head
123
Devils dancing
124
Bleached white buildings
125
Memory movements
126
The movie unreeling, about to begin
127
That was great
128
Yeah? Mine were alright. Wasn't my best one but who cares?
129
That's the spirit...
