More Music Thoughts

So thinking about modern music from a literary perspective and with the question of "what does the lyricist think about? What symbols are important to him or her?", I have noticed several themes that recur in the music of my favorite bands that don't in other bands.  Examples:
 - Superchunk - Winter ("Winter Games", "Pulled Muscle", "Silverleaf and Snowy Tears", and if I didn't read the lyrics incorrectly, "Rainy Streets".  Also, "Pink Clouds" has a line "There's snow on your cheek and the light's getting weak. Don't you think we should turn around?"),
    - the school bus ("1000 Pounds" has a line, "From your seat at the back of the bus, you're still waving back at us", and of course there's the song "Tie a Rope to the Back of the Bus"), probably more stuff
 - Slowdive - Spinning ("Alison" has a line "your sister's spinning", and there's a line in "Primal" that goes "and everytime, I caught her spin")
    - The somewhat hackneyed "getting high" - "Alison" and "40 Days" both mention it, and it's probably mentioned in other songs
 - Ride - Flying - "Vapour Trail" compares a girl to a vapor trail, "Polar Bear" says "she knew she was able to fly"
 - Idlewild - Literature - "Idea Track" refers to Hugh Miller and Marcel Proust, "Self Healer" may well refer to a line from The Unbearable Lightness of Being, "Roseability" is about Gertrude Stein, "These Wooden Ideas" is all about perception and postmodernism, "In Remote Part/Scottish Fiction" is dedicated to Scottish poetry, "American English" is about the personal appeal of writing
 - Suede - "Animal" is in the title of two songs on Suede
That's all I could think of on the spot
