| | Lua Lyrics Artist(Band):Bright Eyes
I keep waving at the taxis, they keep turning their lights off But Julie knows a party at some actor's West side loft Supplies are endless in the evening by the morning they'll be gone When everything is lonely I can be my own best friend I'll get a coffee and the paper, have my own conversations with the sidewalk and the pigeons and my window reflection The mask I polish in the evening by the morning looks like shit And I know you have a heavy heart, I can feel it when we kiss So many men stronger than me have thrown their backs out trying to lift it But me I'm not a gamble, you can count on me to split The love I sell you in the evening by the morning won't exist You're looking skinny like a model with your eyes all painted black Just keep going to the bathroom, always say you'll be right back Well, it takes one to know one, kid, I think you've got it bad But what's so easy in the evening by the morning's such a drag I got a flask inside my pocket, we can share it on the train And if you promise to stay conscious I will try and do the same We might die from medication, but we sure killed all the pain But what was normal in the evening by the morning seems insane And I'm not sure what the trouble was that started all of this The reasons all have run away, but the feeling never did It's not something I would recommend, but it is one way to live Cause what is simple in the moonlight by the morning never is It was so simple in the moonlight now it's so complicated It was so simple in the moonlight, so simple in the moonlight So simple in the moonlight...

Review about Lua Complications | Reviewer: Dallin | 10/24/09 This song can be interpreted in many ways. But my interpetation is a relationship that was simple, loving, and pure. The love they shared numbed the lonliness they might have felt at one point in their lives. The connection between them had to be broken at some point due to problems beyond their control. The writer is now contemplating the future and past during his last moments with his love. The way things were and now will be without the writer's love. I've listened to this song ten times in a row now... Syd & Nancy; Courtney & Kurt; Love & Addiction... | Reviewer: SullenLotus | 9/18/09 I first heard this song 2 days ago. I loved the entire cd but this song, in particular, moved me. I've listened to it a few times and I hate to psychoanalyze an artist's work - trying to sort of understand the artist as person because what he/she wrote. Better not to view it in that context. It is what it is. So I'm gonna take it for what it is...how I see it. Not knowing much about Oberst other than what I've read in the Rolling Stone and have heard through his music, I'm not going to say he wrote this song because of some experience in his life ....maybe it's just how he saw someone else's world. Here's my opinion. The song is a love story involving 3 parties. The guy, the girl, the drug...probably heroin. When 2 people are in a relationship and both of them are junkies, the drug will always take precedence. The guy and the girl enable each other and naturally, the relationship is unhealthy. When they are high and feeling fine, the world is warm - it's the only kind of world that they can TOLERATE because they've got too much baggage to actually fucking deal with the inevitable smack of reality that awakens them in the morning.....the depression, the crash, the come down, the self-hate, the fact that your drug is more important than anyone else, even yourself..."what is simple in the moonlight" of our 'comfortable numbness' morphs into a cluster-fucked sunrise. People are jogging, getting their coffee, going to work and you are laying in a dirty bed smoking a cigarette and reeking of alcohol....sometimes life is more simple when you keep yourself numb.....but the most beautiful part of the song, i felt was this: "And I know you have a heavy heart, I can feel it when we kiss...so many men stronger than me have thrown their backs trying to lift it"...this makes me sad because it rings so true on a personal level...it's not about eating disorders...i can't tell you how many parties i've been to where skinny girls are coming out of the can with white shit on their nose insightful song | Reviewer: Adam | 9/13/09 "The reasons all have run away, but the feeling never did" I like the reflective nature of this song. He is just recognizing the pattern... a pattern in the way we relate to others. He's not saying this is healthy, "just one way to live"...the tone is mournful and lonely. I like that he asks how did he get to this state. I think he captures a truth of human nature, that our pathology to a degree has been caused "reasons that have run away" but the painful feelings lead us to cope in ways that leave us no better off. I think of Cloud Cult's song "Take your medicine" and the line "I can't see them but they control my life." Guess | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/14/09 I have to agree with a quite few of you, but I wouldn't consider it being directly heroin. Just an addiction, sure, but there is more to that. "It was so simple in the moonlight now it's so complicated," meaning that it was easy to be with that certain someone, but he was able to leave without any strings attached. I think that maybe it had to do with possibly being intoxicated with another person, being with them and come morning those feelings are quite as distinct as they may've been under the influence. not just about drugs | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/8/09 I think drugs/alcohol definitely play a role in this song but I don't think it is the main theme. I think the point is more that at night/when we party our lusts and carnal instincts are exacerbated through our lowered inhibitions via drugs/alcohol and we do things that we would not normally do while we are sober. This is easily seen through the lyrics "The love I sell you in the evening by the morning won't exist" and "It was so simple in the moonlight now it's so complicated" Giving in to our desires is so easy at night when you don't have to think about the consequences but you can easily regret what you have done the next morning. I also wonder myself why people have such different night/day personas but it is easy to use nightlife/drugs/alcohol to express emotions that you repress during your everyday life. Glad for these who don't understand and hopefully never will | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/29/09 Every single line->drugs, can't some of you see? What has the f...in bulimia to do with the morning transforming all the easyness and happyness into mysery and heavyness. And hey, love and adictions are known to be the same and this love is pretty clear... >_< Drugs, drugs, drugs | Reviewer: Tony | 7/20/09 For anyone still in doubt whether this song is about doing coke: yes, it is. Many more of Conor's songs are about drug abuse or at least refer to it in their lyrics. Goldmine Gutted is an example of the first, Lover I Don't Have to Love of the second. If you see alcohol as a drug (and you obviously should), probably half his songs have references in it to the abuse of mind-numbing substances (like: We Are Nowhere and it's Now). Coke/pill addiction | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/6/09 This song is definitely about either/both cocaine or pills like xanax/oxycontin/methodone/etc. I routinely did the last 3 my junior/senior year in high school and freshman year in college. I lived that life of going into the bathroom, chopping it up with a razor blade and crushing it into a powder to snort it. The story makes me lean more to pills than cocaine since the song refers to medication. Once you live that life, you can relate to the song pretty well, but for anyone who wants to live that life, its really not the life you want to live. in my opinion... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/24/09 i think this song is definitely about some kind of drug use, but it also relates to an extremely complicated relationship i am in. i can relate to this song ridiculously well... my best friend kissed me and we went down the path of friends with benefits. by the time a month had passed, i'd lost my virginity to him but none of our friends knew. we pretended like nothing ever changed when they were around, but as soon as we were alone, we inevitably fucked. he told me time and time again that he wasn't good at relationships; that he hated them. but i continued to pretend that he was a good boyfriend and not just a complicated friend. the song goes along with this so well because of these lines: "The love I sell you in the evening by the morning won't exist" and "And I'm not sure what the trouble was that started all of this The reasons all have run away, but the feeling never did It's not something I would recommend, but it is one way to live Cause what is simple in the moonlight by the morning never is It was so simple in the moonlight now it's so complicated" it almost makes me cry to see that someone else's words could fit to a situation in my life so well. i just don't know what to do. i love him. mm not bulimia | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/20/09 I think the message is definitely clear... but its not about bulimia its about coke... "i think you got it bad" is referring to the coke habit, skinny like a model is coke... eyes painted black... coke. not bulimia. they go to the bathroom to do the coke in private, they keep having to go back more frequently because of their tolerance. So the song is about partying and drugs.
