Modest Mouse – Whenever I Breathe Out, You Breathe In (Positive/Negative) Lyrics 18 years ago
This is how i feel now

I'm dating this girl and since we started dating, I'm sensing that her feelings for me ahve been going downhill and I really don't think she cares about me at all cause she doesn't seem to care to make an effort to see me. I know it's just a summer fling cause she ahs to move back to NY in a few weeks, but I really really like her and she is brekaing my heart and now I don't want to sleep or stay awake. I don't even want to drink my problems away, I jsut wat her to love me again and I just want to fast forward through the hell I'm in right now. I want to edit the sad parts!

I feel nothing right now, I can't even move myself to try to cheer myslef up

FUCK

Modest Mouse – Breakthrough Lyrics 18 years ago
When I saw him live he want on singing about "And if you had anotheeer!... I think you've prolly had too much todaaay..." He's talking about drugs and/or alcohol I think (possibly dramamines even), so maybe breakthrough has something to do with substance abuse?

Modest Mouse – Baby Blue Sedan Lyrics 18 years ago
I think the eunich part is about a school dance where all the young boys (not eunichs persay, but they're like eunichs for being pre-pubescent) are waiting for the girls to ask them to dance "Please stud us out [take us and use us, don't let us remain without balls] as fast as you possibly can" He's putting a dark twist on the supposedly innocense of the school school dance. and I love the part when he says 'It's hard to be a human being". So true! It would be so much easier to be an animal and not have to worry about Love, Religion, Possesions, insecurities or uncomfortablility. Even going throughout the day like normal, you experiance physical pain, tremendous emotional angst, mental isolation, swamp ass, it sucks up until the point of your death. Trip out on that one.

'I'm not lonesome when I'm by myself"
When your sitting alone by yourself, your not alone because there is no one there to call you a loner. But if you are alone in public, people will judge you and think you don't have friends. This is about indifference and perjorativity (if that's a word).

Modest Mouse – Dramamine Lyrics 18 years ago
this shit put me in the ER. well, I didn't actually have to go, but my parents found me on it and took me in. I woke up in the middle of the night at the hospital and thought my IV was a pez dispenser. I nearly ripped the damn thing out trying to get the candy inside. I only remember about 25 % of that night. I don't do drugs anymore.

Bright Eyes – Hit the Switch Lyrics 18 years ago
I know people have mentioned it, but I completely agree with the feelings he is describing:

"Cause there's a switch that gets hit
And it all stops making sense.
And in the middle of drinks
Maybe the fifth or sixth
I'm completely alone
At a table of friends
I feel nothing for them
I feel nothing
Nothing"

He's such a great poet because he brings out those subtle feeling that we all feel, but can't quite put a finger on. It's ike, we are so eager to go out and and drink and have fun and be with your friends, but it's not about your friends, it's about you and your thrist for excitement. You always end up sitting there thinking "damn, this isn't much fun, is this what I really want? Do I like these people or are they just here to entertain my brain, like my drink or the television?" but you pretend you're having a good time and keeping abusing whatever substances are at your disposal (alcohol, cocaine, coffee, video games whatever you and your friends are doing) in hope that it leads you to what you want.

Panic! at the Disco – Time to Dance Lyrics 18 years ago
Anyays, (SPOILER WARNING... SERIOUSLY- BIG PLOT SECRET(S), DONT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T READ INVISIBLE MONSTERS YET. NOT EVEN KIDDING! K, FINE, DONT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT... ASS!)

the part of the song that says

"Have some composure
And where is your posture?
Oh no no!
You're pulling the trigger
Pulling the trigger all wrong"

is probebly about her shooting brandy, but it could also be about how she shot her own face off, I thought that was kind of interesting...

" Well, she’s not bleeding on the ballroom floor
Just for the attention."

Chuck says that every time you act or pose or whatever it may be, it is for attention or for an audience, so ie: why cry when no one is around? (Its been a while since I read monsters so I'm foggy on the themes; I'm about 40 pages away from finishing Haunted)

and finally
"Here’s the setting"

if I'm not mistaken, he either opens the book with that line, or at least uses it in the first chapter, but I'm almost positive that's how he opens. Most of the rest of the symbolism is obvious if you've read the book.

-peace

Colin Hay – I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You Lyrics 18 years ago
This song is amazing. That's pretty much all there is to say , If you heard it there's really no need for an explaination. It's just a chill, beuaftiful, acoustic song by a little known artist. This is why I don't understand why people buy albums by ashlee simpson and mariah carey when there's stuff like this out there around every corner but it doesn't get any recognition. But I'm not complining, I like it that way. I love indie music.

Modest Mouse – 3rd Planet Lyrics 18 years ago
just thought of something, don't know if it's been noted.

"the universe is shaped exactly like the earth..."

...I don't think it's a geological or cosmic observation at all, it's just stating that we're trapped in physical realm with no escape; ie. even if you can become spacebound-- like the earth, you'll end up in the spot where you started if you try to run away from existance. from reality. from life. from mass and matter

for some reason this reminds me of one of Conor Oberst's albums: A Line Allows Progress A Circle Does Not

And not to condridict what I may have posted about the ""three and not just two" line, but this could also be about the crucifiction of christ (think the trinity minus 1) hence the world began as christianity began shortly after. or as simple as a family who lost someone and human suffering (death) is the backbone for civilization.

this is all just stream of concious though so feel free to build upon

Yellowcard – Ocean Avenue Lyrics 18 years ago
I didn't expect to come back here, but I'm in the mood to make fun of butt fucking morons.

first off, ycunderdogs, yellowcard doesn't need "promotion", I think that's the problem here; This band lacks talent and originality, but tons of giant assholes listen to this crap.

Now don't get me wrong, I don't hate bands because they ARE popular, I hate them because they don't deserve to be. I don't mind a band I like becoming popular so long as that doesn't mean it changes how they sound. For insance, Deathcab is becoming more known and I'm still a fan. Modest Mouse became shit ever since they signed with epic, became trendy and released Good News... Bad News so now I think they are greedy queers (I liked Isaac brock better on the dramamine).

Anyway, next time you fools ask mommy and daddy to buy you an album by good charlotte or yellowcard or whatever other crap you kids are into, do some research on GOOD MUSIC, not what's on trl.

Modest Mouse – Exit Does Not Exist Lyrics 18 years ago
"You don't even actually exist so I just started shaking"

When I used to use dramamine recrationally I used to see people that I thought were there and were real but then I'd realize I was home alone then I'd freak out. On my worst trip I ended up in the ER and remember almost NOTHING from that night, but apparently I thought my I.V. was a pez dispenser and tried to get candy out of it, nearly ripped it out. I'm told I needed the nurse to help me piss too.

Modest Mouse – Dramamine Lyrics 18 years ago
Are you kidding me man? DXM is the best stuff I've ever taken. I had only a 4 oz. bottle of robutussin and I felt my soul being lifeted up into heaven. I know its not natural and its extrememly bad for your health, but its so worth it if you do it like once or twice, try to get it in pill form (NOT CORICIDEN!!!) so you don't throw up. But everythings spins around, but its fun and you feel so euphoric and contemplative and you can close your eyes and be at the beach, its so nice, you go really numb and trip out on your own thoughts, so much better than that shitty dramamine. You just feel at one with everything and even though its impossible to do things like tell the time and walk cross your house, its the most amazing feeling ever experience by humans to just sit there and smile. I started dancing once, gravity seemed so unreal, I just floated around.

Modest Mouse – Dramamine Lyrics 19 years ago
Actually there is somewhat of a body high with dramamine. For some reason it reminds me of being sick, but its like being drunk and high, but really heavy and sleepy, you don't want to talk or go anywhere, but you're really anxious. Sounds are amplified, you feel alone and dispondent, you feel like your brain is somewhere else. A dramamine high has its ups and downs, its hard to say whether its good or bad.

I did gravol again yesterday, I went outside and heard a lion roaring in the bushes and it scared me shitless because I thought it was real, I forgot that I was on Dramamine. And later on ants were coming out of my pants and then plants were groing out of my pants. "ants and plants were coming from my pants" funny but true!

I don't know why people would warn you not to use this drug, other than the fact that it can be scary. You know how you can be in bed in the dark and imagining how a monster can some out of your closet? Well on Dramamine this is very possible, and because of the paranoid state ypu'r already in, you will freak out, with your only hope being that you remind yourself that its not real. If you forget you're on the drug (which IS possible) you are simply fucked!

Hilary Duff – Haters Lyrics 19 years ago
Oh my god, I just had to look at the "hilary duff" section to bash her and didn't expect this. Looks like this bitch has only one fan out of thousands of people. Now I'll admit. I'd fuck her, but thats about it. I'd probebely duct tape her mouth so she doesnt sing while we're doing it too. she should have stuck to acting, and if she wanted to start a band, she should have picked up guitar, got her friends together (if she has any), and jammed in the garage like real people do. Thats how you're supposed to start a band. There's just to many things wrong here, so FUCK YOU HILARY DUFF is all I have to say

Modest Mouse – Dramamine Lyrics 19 years ago
I'm glad I Wrote that because I'm starting to forget everything that happened that night. I remeber I talked to Alana, but I can't remember a single word I said. I think next time (if there is a next time) I'll do it with some friends in the afternoon and have someone sober catch us on camera. I still feel the effects in the morning and at night and I still get really scared every once in a while when I see things out of the corner of my eye. I'd recomend sticking to acid and shrooms cause at least you can tell what's real and what's not.

Modest Mouse – Dramamine Lyrics 19 years ago
I finally brought myself to use dramamine myself and it was one of the most craziest drugs I've ever taken. This was last night, I downed 10 total with red bull (users recomend at least 12 to trip), so this was a good dose for a first time. I didn't get much effects until an hour later. I started to feel high, but really heavy, like my arms weighed 40 lbs each. I found my self staring off into space. Naturally I put on "this is a long drive..." this lasted a while and I though that was going to be it, then when i would stare off I would see things. I sort of fell asleep with my eyes open and then jolted awake several times with out of body-like experiences. I noticed the pictures on the wall, not only the eyes, the whole faces would follow me. I had to piss like 8 times that night. There was a face dancing around the center of my blacklight poster. I decided to go to sleep and thats when shit started to happen. I watched as black fuzzy thing floated across my bed sheets, they formed into a skull so I closed my eyes and opened them and it was gone. I went to open my blinds to let some light in and there was a person sitting in the tree in our front lawn. He pointed a flashlight at me. I turned to get back into bed and looked one more time. The person became that thing on the movie "the grudge" that crawls down the steps and it came after me. I went into the kitchen to get some water cause my mouth was dry and my walls were all different colors. Surfaces were all wavy, it was friggin awesome. I fell asleep on the couch while watching conan obrien. That was last night and the come-down effects last a while. I've heard up to 3 days, but mine are almost gone, I'm pretty normal now.

I'd recomend it if you dont scare easily on trips. Remember, its just a drug even though the trips seem really really real! I'd recomend you get a sitter and plenty of water.

Yellowcard – Ocean Avenue Lyrics 19 years ago
Seriously, there are bands out their who pour sweat talent and emotion everyday into every song they create and hope to God that they land another gig so they can pay off their gibson les paul. Indie bands like Asleep in The Sea from Chandler Arizona work their ass off and have talent and should be making lots of money and fans, but life is not as sweet as mtv wants us to think.

MTV, the multibillion dollar TV industri, flies around the country looking for pretty whiteboys who will be their pussy-whipped puppets, teaches them how to play a few power chords and then writes for them crappy lyrics to sing in front of all those fucking junior high girls whose mommies' buy their yellowcard and blink 182 CDs while the MTV assholes sit around and smoke cubans while laughing at how stupid the american consumer society can be!

Now I can bitch about Yellowcard as much as I want because its legal and its freedom of speech. There's no law that says I have to stay in the Desaparecidos artist page or I'll be arrested, so I'm speaking up. Yellowcard blows and I'm not expecting you media whores to stop listening because of what I say, I just hope maybe you would realize and come to an understanding.

alright now I'm wasting my time, good day.

Jaded Teenager – Due Date Lyrics 19 years ago
frankly, the lyrics suck. Sorry that's not very constructive. You gotta have better rhymes than he/she/it rhymes. take my lyrics I wrote for my band, Suitless Penguin, for instance:

"now we're standin on the ocean sky, you know we're all afraid to die"
"cause one day we'll learn that we don't have to swim... original love is original sin"
"I want to buy a paperback, I want to take a little trip, I want to learn everything there is until my mind is full of shit"

...and so on, it's thoughtful. its emo, but not depressing emo and it has good rhyme schemes.

on a more personal note, she probebly left you because you were too needy/clingy. That'll get you, but you can't write a song everytime you get dumped, it was probebly your fault anyway.

no hard feelings though, good luck with the band and with the ladies

Bright Eyes – When the President Talks to God Lyrics 19 years ago
hey black cow of death or whatever... just because conor doesn't sound like justin timberlake doesn't mean he has a bad voice. His voice is actually pretty good, and its how he sings it, the emotion he puts into it and the lyrics behind it that will blow your mind. you can sing "girl you're fine!" 100 times in a pretty voice and it wont mean shit. Conor is one of the most talented musicians of the indie rock scene right now and you just can't appreciate good music. go stick your finger up your ass and listen to your yellowcard bullshit elsewhere.

and yeah, the mesage of "fuck bush" is a little cliche, but find me someone else who has the balls to go up there and say it and even put it out on CD whithout fear of losing popularity. Listen to the song "waste of paint" which Conor amazingly writes, sings and plays a sweet chord progression to and try and honestly tell me Conor sucks at his job.

BTW: 28:06:42:12 (wtf is with your name) I don't remember anyone asking for a fucking commentator. I bet you recently bought a Hilary Duff CD and a hip-hop CD, asshole.

This is possibly my favorite Conor song Ever. Once the second verse hit and I heard "My clothes are soaking wet, from you're brother's tears" I made some tears of my own. I always get that one reaction I can NEVER get from any other band when listening to conor. I smile because it is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard, but also tear up because it is the most emotional thing I've heard in a while...well, since his last great song I listened to.

as for the meaning, I totally agree with lucky monkey. Its so awesome how he's writng for himself and us at the same time. Its like a diary that only he truly understands, but we can relate to.

Modest Mouse – Dramamine Lyrics 19 years ago
OK, SO long story short, I got this from the link above:

"2.7 Drug Interactions

Taking dimenhydrinate together with alcoholic beverages, other antihistamines, tranquilizers, or other nervous-system depressants can result in excessive dizziness, drowsiness, or other signs of nervous-system depression.

Diphenhydramine HCl should not be taken with monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors. Interaction with tranquilizers, sedatives, and sleeping medication will increase the effects of these drugs. Again, be extremely cautious when drinking alcohol while taking diphenhydramine HCl, which will enhance the intoxicating effect of the alcohol. Alcohol also has a sedative effect."

Alcohol mixed with Dramamine makes you even trippier. Either he intentionally wanted to trip insanely and chugged Listerine (contains alcohol) and overdosed, or it was accidental, like, he used mouthwash and used the correct dosage of Dramamine, but the drugges mixed and now he's accidentally trippy with his girl sitting next to him. They'll probebly die in a crash due to his drug induced state, but their relationship's going down the shitter anyway.

Cool, I think I got it, its the listerine and Dramamine mixed. Either accidental or on purpose!

FUCK YOU whover the guy was who said Isaac raped that girl. YOU DON'T KNOW THE FUCKING STORY!!!! its a complicated thing and he's completely innocent. Not one knows the story except Isaac, the girl and one of Isaac's close friends. Isaac is and asshole, but he has reason to be. If you were him you'd kill every stupid motherfucker dumb enough to get in your way. He watched benignly as his quaint hometown fell into urbanization, and problems his drunk stepdad Dan Carson, countless othr shit like Jail dui's fights murder, deaths, lost friendships... and on and on and on. He's an asshole for a reason- because he knows a hell of a lot more about life lessons than you do, leave him the fuck alone.

I wish rather than buying a modest mouse shirt every other ignorant prick is waering (which I refuse to do) I could get a shirt with, like an image from an older CD like Long Drive or Lonesome Crowded, and no band name. That way the TRUE mouse fans can recognize and know I'm not just another MTV freak who listens only to float on.

Modest Mouse – Black Cadillacs Lyrics 19 years ago
I have to disagree with what someone said back a while ago, Chameleonica I think... anyway:

"And it's true that the clouds just hung around
Like black Cadillacs outside a funeral "

I think this is how the cars hang out near the funeral, but when the funeral's over the go on, like clouds float away. death is unpredictable like the weather, and when the time comes, the cloud appear and so do the Cadalacs.

"And we were laughing at the stars while our feet clung tight to the ground
So pleased with ourselves for using so many verbs and nouns"

Just how we praise ourselves so much and kind of take our coats off like we're here to stay forever, regardless of the fact that we will soon kill ourselves off with our Wal-Marts and endless parking lots (you have to look at their older stuff and themes of Urban sprawl and Suburban decay) anyway, we will soon go extinct and look like fools by holding ourselves in high regard like we were a race of perfect beings.

Modest Mouse – Convenient Parking Lyrics 19 years ago
I don't think so, Anodyne, just because that's not one of Isaac Borck's main themes. Probebly 70% of his songs are about Urban sprawl and Suburban decay. The others -God, the Devil, ocassionally drugs... yeah thats about it. And I'm pretty sure this is about how we keep moving forward, but torwards nothing, just building nothing, just more arrogance and a fake sense of belonging. In 700 yrs, America's going to be NOTHING, but 50% Wal-Mart/50% Wal-Marts' parking lot.

The reason the "convenient" parking spaces are in the back is a personal opion on Isaac's part. Its a clever metaphore saying that we need to get out (of the lot) quicker, or go back to the way it used to be, for instance, instead of constantly "building nothing out of something". It's kinda hard to explain, but you should get the point.
