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. |
