Everybody Cares, Everybody Understands - Elliott Smith
It's fare to say that I'm a bit more then obsessed with Elliott Smith. He is just such a fucking mystery, and his lyrics are raw as hell. The whole composition of every song and every album he's ever written is ridiculous. Nights like these, where I feel a little weird and I don't know why I sit around and just scrutinize his lyrics and read comments about other people's opinions of what they may mean. Like I've said before, I have a new favorite Elliott Smith song every week. Lyrics:

Everybody cares, everybody understands
Yes, everybody cares about you
Yeah, and whether or not you want them to
It's a chemical embrace that kicks you in the head
To a pure synthetic sympathy that infuriates you totally
And a quiet lie that makes you want to scream and shout
So here I lay dreaming, looking at the brilliant sun
Raining its guiding light upon everyone
For a moment's rest you can lean against the banister
After running upstairs again and again
From wherever they came to fix you in
But always fear the city's finest follow right behind
You got a pretty vision in your head
A pencil full of poison lead
And a sickened smile illegal in every town
So here I lay dreaming, looking at the brilliant sun
Raining its guiding light upon everyone
Here I lay dreaming, looking at the brilliant sun
Raining its guiding light upon everyone
You say you mean well, you don't know what you mean
Fucking out to stay the hell away
From things you know nothing about
