Review about Slint

for lunch.. | Reviewer: chris jones
------ About the song For Dinner... performed by Slint

to me, this song always sounded like the brewing of the storm right before good morning, captain.

------ About the song Don, Aman performed by Slint

I think this song is primarily about alienation, awkwardness, and the inability to fit in.

The narrator appears to be at a party. He has said things he regrets and made awkward conversation. He recognizes the 'others' - everyone else at the gathering - and feels he'll never be among their ranks. The lines after this (Like walking through an empty house,
Speaking to an imaginary audience) reinforce his feelings of isolation

When he leaves the party he feels liberated by "howling/laughing", essentially venting frustrations at his inability to fit in. The line "...himself, he felt he knew what that was" means that he hasn't figured himself out yet despite thinking that he has a good read on himself. I think this line summarizes his desire to break out of his awkward mindset.

At the end, he wakes, seeing himself in the mirror (his 'friend', i.e. himself). I am a bit confused about the lines "he knew what he had to do, he was responsible" could be read as suicidal or could be read as his coming to terms with his social shyness and taking on the responsibility to change it.
