Now we'll leave the silver city, 'cause all the silver girls,
Gave us black dreams.
Leave the silver city, to all the silver girls.
Everything means everything.
- The National, "Conversation 16"
"Our modern term 'charm' comes from the Latin for song, ...carmen, which was taken in turn from the Greek charma meaning 'source of joy'... But it was also from this word that the Greeks derived the word charme. In modern English charme best translates as 'combat'. All of which makes one wonder...if Shakespeare was aware of this when he had Macbeth, shortly before he is killed by Macduff, coin the term 'charmed life.'" - Nic Kelman, Girls: A Paean
