Built to Spill – Three Years Ago Today Lyrics 15 years ago
the song is about him losing a pet cat three years today. the first part
of the song is about him waking up dreaming about that day and how
horrible it was. the line no one's gonna push my buttons
no one's gonna have their say makes me think that his friends and
family said that he should put his cat down. the second part is him
realizing that it didn't seem quite as awful as it seemed. the last part
where he says "feel about the same but I'm 10 years older" since the
event happened three years ago he can't be 10 years older so it means that he has
matured substantially. the next line is where I percieve that people
are telling him to put the cat down as the cat was probably in pain
or possibly bleeding out its eyes and mouth. the last line is him seeing
his cat in his dream earlier.
