Pela Lyrics to Anytown Graffiti Rock with Excellent Imagery

Pela is an up-and-coming band from Brooklyn, New York who are coming out with their latest album / CD Anytown Graffiti on April 24, 2007. Known as a working class American rock 'n' roll band reminiscent of Springsteen, Pela, though has a sound and lyrics that are uniquely their own.

The Pela lyrics are filled with rich imagery and metaphors that move along the stories in a meaningful way. For instance, here are some of my favorite lyrics from different songs within Anytown Graffiti:

i had a sideways stare like a signal flare

we’re walking through some fields of glass
up to our waist into our past

you seem to resemble
a window that stayed open too long

the sun beats down upon our town
the red faced angry folk stomp all around

From these lyrics one can see the excellent use of metaphor, imagery and emotional connection to the subject matter that Pela's lyric writers are in tune with and cleverly craft within their songs. Until the album's release date, Pela is posting a song a week for public listening through their website and they have posted their lyrics to Anytown Graffiti as well.
