Bright Eyes - "An Attempt To Tip The Scales"
Lyrics to An Attempt To Tip The Scales : Did you expect it all to stop at the wave of your hand, like the suns just gonna drop ,if its night you demand' Well in the dark were just air, so the house might dissolve, once were gone, whos gonna care, if we were ever here at all' Well summers gonna come, its gonna cloud our eyes again, no need to focus when theres nothing thats worth seeing. So we trade liquor for blood in an attempt to tip the scales, I think you lost what you loved in that mess of details. They seemed so important at the time. Now you cant even recall any names, faces or lines, its more the feeling of it all. Well winters gonna end, Im gonna clean these veins again. So close to dying that I finally can start living. "Hi, were back. This is Radio [beep] and were here with Conor Oberst of the band Bright Eyes. How are you doing, Conor'" "Fine, thanks...just a little wet." "Oh, its still coming down out there'" "Yeah, I sort of had to run from the car." "Well, we are glad you made it. Now, your new album Fevers and Mirrors, tell us a little bit about the title. I notice there is a good deal of repeated imagery in the lyrics. Fevers, mirrors... scales, clocks... Could you discuss some of this'" "Sure, lets see... The fever is..." "First, let me say that this is a brilliant record man. Were all really into it here at the station, we get lots of calls. Its really good stuff." "Thanks, thanks a lot." "So talk a little bit about some of the symbolism." "The fever'" "Sure." "Well, the fever is basically whatever ails you or oppresses you. It could be anything. In my case, its my neurosis, my depression... but I dont want it to be limited to that, its certainly different for different people. Its whatever keeps you up at night." "I see!" "And the mirror is, as you might have guessed, self examination or reflection in whatever form. It could be vanity or self loathing. I know, Im guilty of both." "Thats interesting. How about the scale'" "The scale is essentially our attempt to solve our problems quantitatively, through logic or rationalization. In my opinion, its often fruitless, but always... well, not always. The clocks and calendars, its just... time. Our little measurements. Its always chasing after us." "It is, it is... How about this Arienette' How does she fit into all of this'" "Id prefer not talk about it, in case shes listening." "Oh Im sorry, I didnt realize she was a real person." "Shes not. I made her up." "Oh, so shes not real'" "Just as real as you or I." "I dont think I understand." "Neither do I, but after I grow up I will. I mean, a lot of things are really unclear for me right now." "Thats interesting. Now you mentioned your depression." "No, I didnt." "Youre from Nebraska, right'" "Yeah, so'" "Now let me know, if Im getting too personal but there seems to be a pretty dark past back there somewhere. What was it like for you growing up'" "Dark' Not really. Actually I had a great childhood, my parents were wonderful. I went to a Catholic school. They had one, so it... was all easy. Basically I had everything I wanted, anytime." "Really' So some of the references like babies in bathtubs are not biographical'" "Well, I did have a brother who died in a bathtub... drowned. Actually, I had five brothers who died that way. No, Im serious. My mother drowned one every year for five consecutive years. They were all named Padraic. So they all got one song. Its kind of like walking out a door to discover its a window." "But a lot of your music is certainly very personal." "Of course, I put a lot of myself into what I do. But its like being an author, you have to free yourself to use symbolism and allegory to reach your goal. And a part of that is compassion and empathy for other people and their situations. Some of what I sing about comes from other peoples experiences as well as my own. It shouldnt matter, the message is intended to be universal." "I see what you mean." "Can you make that sound stop please'" "Yes. And your goal'" "I dont know... Er, create feelings, I guess. A song, it never ends up the way you planned it." "Its funny you would say that, do you think that...'" "Do you ever hear things that arent really there'" "Im sorry, what'" "Never mind. How long have you worked at this station'" "Just a few minutes. Now, you mentioned empathy for others, would you say that is what motivates you to make the music that you make'" "No, not really. Its more a need for sympathy. I want people to feel sorry for me. I like to feel the burn of the audiences eyes on me, when Im whispering all my darkest secrets into the microphone. When I was a kid, I used to carry this safety pin around with me, everywhere I went in my pocket and when people werent paying enough attention to me, Id dig it into my arm until I started to cry. Everyone would stop what they were doing and ask me what was the matter. I guess I kind of liked that." "Really' Youre telling me youre doing all this for attention'" "No, I hate it when people look at me. I get nauseous. In fact I could care less what people think about me. Do you feel that way'" "No, Im feeling sick." "I really just want to be warm yellow light that pours all over everyone I love." "So, youre going to play something for us now. Is this a new song'" "Yeah, but I havent written it yet. Its one Ive been meaning to write... called A Song to Pass the Time." "Oh, thats a nice title." "No, its not. You should write your own scripts." "Yeah, I know..." [ An Attempt To Tip The Scales Lyrics ]
