So is the girl going in the middle of nowhere whith her magic box to practice her magic whith no audience. Then after she makes a bunny apear three guys that can also do magic come after their bunny.

    ------ About the song The Rifle's Spiral performed by The Shins

The song was so great I just couldn't stop watching. Even though I don't completely get the story line its still a good video. My only hope now is that another new video takes its place so I can keep watching it over and over again. LOVED THE VIDEO!!! :] :D More please.

    ------ About the song The Rifle's Spiral performed by The Shins

On my 3DS, I was watching videos, I got something off of Spotpass. I thought it was some junk I didn't want to watch, but i clicked it because the "New" thing that shows up when you get something new irks me. I saw it and I was stupified. It was amazing! I am still waiting to get the full music video, but the preview was satisfying. Thumbs-up!

    ------ About the song Sleeping Lessons performed by The Shins

I think this song should be taken more literal and less for interpretation, it says what it says, i can even watch a movie in my head while I'm listening. It is an amazing song that invites us to be melt and flow with the air and be free in the universe, to appreciate more what he have inside and left in a second plane the frame, which is something that is not going to pass thru this life.

    ------ About the song Kissing The Lipless performed by The Shins

This song just came on my shuffle, I've heard it so many times, but it was just this time, after this weekend that it suddenly hit me and made total sense. It's like the words are inside my head and are exactly what I was thinking. I love how The Shins do that to me so often. The mark of truly great music, in my opinion.

    ------ About the song Red Rabbits performed by The Shins

I think this song is defiantly not a love song... but rather about the Big Guy Verse Little Guy
We've pissed on far too many sprites seems to be the point of the song.
So, Sprites- Connotative meaning: young, growing, small, colourful, creative,innocent & maybe a naive individual.

Hurled to the center of the Earth again,
The place where it's hot, love,
You know, it hurts to breathe in - Meaning Every day the sprite is burnt and cant breath due to peoples greed or selfishness like the man balancing on the watershed who wont share and has so much it is will fall.

Well did he ever know - Asking if he will ever find out that he is only a falling watershed away from being one of those without water.

So you won't make it easy on me - meaning people make things hard so the sprites cant get to the top.

Necessary balloon lies a corpse on the floor- represents a child never given a chance.

Born on a desert floor, you've the deepest thirst,
And you came to my sweet shore to indulge it,
With the warm and dreaming eyes of an orphan,
But there is not enough - Meaning again that he will tune down the sprites in most need because he is greedy and won't share his "sweet shore" .

Out of a gunnysack fall red rabbits,
Into the crucible to be rendered an emulsion,
And we can't allow a chance they'd restore themselves - Meaning the sprits are helpless like the bloodied rabbits, that are sacrificed for their blood and are quickly finished because they don't want the rabbits to be revived of life.

Undaunted, you bathed in hollow cries,
The boys with swollen, sunburnt eyes,
A reward for letting nothing under their skin,
So help me, I don't know, I might,
Just give the old dark side a try. - Meaning after suffering in a heartless world the sprites spirits is broken and decides to fight fire with fire and gives the dark side a try ( greed, maliciousness..ex)
The sprit is no longer a sprit but becomes the man on top and evens the score.

    ------ About the song Australia performed by The Shins

It's about a person (or people) who refuse to grow up. "Born to multiply,
Born to gaze into night skies,
When all you want’s one more Saturday." They know they should move on from their lifestyle, settle down, have a family, but they just want to continue living like they do without consequences or responsibilities.

"You'll be damned to pining through the windowpanes,
You know you'd trade your life for any ordinary Joe’s,
Well do it now or grow old." – change your life or you're gonna grow old like this.

and "so give me your hand and we'll jump out the window" – I don't know, I've not really seen it as a romantic song, but this seems more like two people being sort of, 'all right, we'll self-destruct, but we'll do it together'.

just my rambling thoughts

    ------ About the song Red Rabbits performed by The Shins

This song is about a bad relationship that ended, just like most other shins songs. I really dont know why, but the necessary ballon always makes me think of a condom. The red rabbits symbolize lust while at the same time veing innocent and pure. Pissing on sprites is also a reference to adulterating something pure. The first paragraph appears to be something concerning the couple being either the center of attention or being.. In hell. The woman's (if the narrator is heterosexual) search for love is apparently hinted at in the second. But really, this song has no obvious meaning. It seems like the writer just focuses on the images, which listeners connect together to imagine their own story. I would suggest They might be giants to people who like these types of lyrics, like me. Just a suggestion. This song might not even carry any meaning, but then again - who knows?
