This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Goddamn, didnt we go fast?
Trailer park bike racing
Oh no, at night we'll crash
(Oh, uh oh, I think I left a scratch)

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

this song is so daniel johnston.
Thank you so much for saying that, I was just about to.
bmx crash.
heh heh.
I love this song. One of my favorites off of Sad Sappy Sucker.
Its really interesting to see where Modest Mouse started from this primitive lo-fi scratch of a song. Good stuff though. Go buy all of their albums.
are these lyrics correct? I'm pretty sure this is from the Dial-a-Song thing Isaac had going(hence the "lo-fi"), something about if you called his machine you would get a song he recorded on there, there are others from there too..it is on the cd Sad Sappy Sucker, which i do not recomend if you are a casual Modest Mouse fan, its a collection of the band in it's earliest and most raw form, good cd too..havent a clue what the song is about...kinda like all of Isaac's random songs..i assume he must have grown up in a trailer park becuase of the references in this song, and in "Trailer Trash"(The Lonesome, Crowded West)...this song also gets stuck in my head alot, its not exactly brilliant...but I like it
I think it says "Trailer brides racing."
"Trailer park brides racing," I mean.
i think the lyrics are
"trailer park bike racing goddamn didnt we go fast? Trailer park bike racing oh-no at night we'll crash
(oh uh-oh i think i left a scratch)"
quasinegro is right.
this is so hilarious
i always thought it was
"trailer park bike racing goddamn can we go fast. trailer park bike racing oh no it's a nightmare crash."
best 30 second song ever in my opinion.
