Collected Animals

has she told you?

all of surfer's hymn. or the gut punch "see your hopes become my hope / is there no hope?"

if you could only feel whats wrong

I had a room and you knew it well

I had a room and you knew it well

Voices yelling, love is bruised
No one praising bits of silence

Praise for the underdog also makes me cry

and also

Lightning crested read your letters

The whole thing jesus christ

"And hold me, I've been sad for days" off of Laughing Hieroglyphic. The entire song is relentlessly brutal and heartbreaking, but that line specifically always gets me.

I know it’s a cover but “is jimmys talking as sweet as you?” Kills me

"There are some workers pissing
it starts my bladder itching"

So frustratingly bad it makes me want to cry.

It seems we all can't last
and
I'm losing things so fast
- the way I don't understand a lot of applesauce lyrics make these hit me like a truck out of nowhere.

Dad, I can't see, I've lost my voice, I need direction

I'll put my faith on the path of me and you.

Slow words (maybe I'm mishearing) but when he's like 'I've GOT to get there even though they say it will pass'. - This one always felt like being in danger of letting a loved one down who really needs you even if it doesn't seem important to anyone else.

Can’t you see what you do to me
Gave you a pot for the tea to brew
Gave me a spot for the art to grow

You lay there so still dog
You lay there so still
Dog of depth in the dirt
They buried you deep doggy
You're the best doggy
My friend has a doggy
She's real nice dog
I wish you could chase her round my yard
I remember when I first got you dog

the birds are calling for you
please don't follow

reaching out to be his friend

(I know it's a cover but still)

has she told you?

oof. I don't know what song that's from but I felt it. Kinda makes me wanna die.

Mine is "Well I found new feelings at the feeling store." Reminds me of my first break up.

Ms. Secret. That one guts me too

He said sometimes I guess I have to miss my wife


I don’t even have a wife but I get it

Do you think he changed the lyrics bc of Borat

Do you think he changed the lyrics bc of Borat

i'd say there is a 95.5% chance this is possible

Do you think he changed the lyrics bc of Borat

This is confirmed

And I wouldn't feel so selfish, I won't be this way very long

Do you think he changed the lyrics bc of Borat

lol'd

I hate you

One day friend, we'll meet again
Hopefully then the earth is quiet

Please don't let my eyes grow wide/I don't want you to go

What do you see when you see inside of me?
You can count when you count on me.

sometimes i feel like animal collective's entire career only exists because a particularly bummed out twenty-something direly needed to find his way to the phrase "i'm only all i see sometimes" and then howl it at strangers every other night for three years straight

You can count when you count on me.

this song makes me feel like I've been hit in the chest with wind

If he could talk we would be best friends

I know it's no5 much but let it right into your gut

I said please stay

My heart can bridge the distance that's between us

And you're whining you shouldn't waste your money
But the couch fibres keep you inside
So I'm so sorry I came in
Late this evening
But all the clocks around
The town had died
And all the fruit store's colours
Were so bright
With couples smiling
Cooking things tonight
And what were all those
Troubles on my mind

Oh I took a walk

There are people, you're not like them

Stop asking
Is that something I’m not anymore?

Deak always makes me cry

What's the change for the better
For a child who learns not to cry?

Getting pulled down can enlighten you

Avey's talking about the ocean here, but I've always listened to this lyric in the context of heartbreak/loss/failure and learning from it.

Also, "so I ran away with my ghost gal" has always felt very dark in a defeatist kind of way. The "void" lyrics in that song also gets me.

yooouree soo beautiful, you cant hear meee

he said "dave hey the doctor cannot save your dog"

also from heather in the hospital:

The windy day
Let it pass away
Now I can't hear the crying
Are some better that way?
Is it sad to say?
Do I think that I'll ever be ready
Or willing or smiling?

“I’ve been trying to write a song that can’t ignore you”

The windy day
Let it pass away
Now I can't hear the crying
Are some better that way?
Is it sad to say?
Do I think that I'll ever be ready
Or willing or smiling?

Heather in the hospital is so amazing
