Bright Eyes is one of my favorite bands, not because of their sound but their lyrics. The lyrics sung are so powerful, and in every song each lyrics are just as strong as the next. One of my favorite songs is southern state. Some of the lyrics are like so:
You’re sleeping that southern state,
But the bars are filled with people you can’t hate
And try as you try you still can’t relate to them
You drink that whiskey down
As they ask you are you who say you are?
The fact we can’t tell makes us like you even more.
I love this verse because it just reminds me that some people will just take you for your company not who you are. Some times, there are people who I want to hate but can’t, just because I won’t let myself. Also, I don’t feel like I relate to a lot of people and that we are just on two levels of understanding. Another strong verse that I like more than the one’s above is:
Now your give advice
Like you had the right to use a word like love.
No it’s a navigable term, what said is not heard,
So it’s different then for everyone.
I feel it’s so true that love is a very touchy word; I don’t feel it should be slung around like another word. The word love can evoke so many feelings, like I think it’s silly when people are like I love cheeseburgers. Do you want to spend the rest of your life with that cheese burger? Also as it says in the song, love is different for everyone.

I agree that it is an overused word, but at the same time I feel that love is something that should be spread. I think that love is something that more people should really think about. Love is beautiful and can be the answer to a lot of issues, but I think people in our society do not know what it really means. Wow, sorry to sound like a stereotypical hippie!
I LOVE Bright Eyes! I'm just playing, but Connor Oberst(sp?) is a lyrical master. Some of the songs are so completely complex. I also agree that "love" is often used too loosely, but people are going to do it, so what are you going to do?Oh well. I guess it's just one of "those things."
That reminds me of a song that goes like this
Weezy bad Naw really I'm good/ Sound like a T-Rex live under my hood
betta know the tech live under my seat/ put ya in tha ground now you live under my feet
all white diamonds on the front of my teeth/ and you better put O in front of my G
the bullshh they talkin doesn't come to my knee/ Im like a linebacker don't run it by me
my two best friends will accompany me/ and right now they are in my dungarees sleep
one name Mack one name Nina/ they hit ya make ya do the Macarena
where ya tool
you gonna need it like a mug/ and i am so New Orleans like a mug
its young money and we eattin get ya own suppa/ make me go off to the trunk and get da bonecrusher
That has no meaning but I think it is a coo rap
