| Britney Spears – Everytime Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
This song is about nothing but making money. It wasn't written from somebody's heart. Well, maybe it was...greedy bastard. |

| Blink-182 – Adam's Song Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| This song is not supposed to make you feel sad or depressed, but happy. I hate Blink 182 for the pop trash they are, but let me set this straight. The person in the song NEVER KILLS HIMSELF. He's happy in the end...he gets home...it's a joyous occasion. The end. | |
| Modest Mouse – The Good Times Are Killing Me Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Brock's unusual brilliance may actually come from his LSD use. I'm not saying that he should go back to using it to write a lyric, but if you've ever seen any interviews or heard any interviews with Jerry Garcia, who everybody knows was a purveyor of the drug's use, you would see that Jerry was an extremely intelligent, well spoken man. Isaac just seems to exude this sort of mindframe. Just my observation... | |
| Modest Mouse – Float On Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I hope that this turning point in the music business will set a standard for pop music. Remember kids, or maybe you have heard stories from your parents, about GOOD popular music. GOOD artists and songs. GOOD songwriters, even? Popular music was once a valid pool to draw excellent music from. IMO, the greatest band of all time, The Beatles, showed us that popular music can be good music. Why can't this Modest Mouse album be a first in the "new pop" age? Sure, more and more money is brought into the picture, but would you disown your friends who made millions? I would actually be surprised if Isaac and Co. get past this in the black. When a record label markets a song, (puts out a video, etc...) the band HAS TO PAY THIS BACK. Sure, they front them with the money...but it is a standing debt with the label until the band makes enough money from record sales to pay it off. My .02$, I guess. Keep loving their music if you truly do. | |
| Modest Mouse – Tiny Cities Made of Ashes Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Some of you have touched on the meaning of this song, and I have just a little touch to add. The part about getting a phone call from the Lord about wearing a sweater pretty obviously says that the narrator is going to Hell (because it is frozen over). Also, I agree with the assumption that it is from a business man's perspective. |

| Modest Mouse – Dance Hall Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| To me, it sounds like Brock is referring to X or speed withdrawal and the depression that follows. | |
| Modest Mouse – Ohio Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
I wholeheartedly agree with you, PapaBobDole. I grew up in a mid-sized town in NW Ohio (Defiance). I went to school in the boonies though, and I can still remember the night drives in, basically, the middle of nowhere. I have also travelled E->W and N->S and the feeling of being under something as huge as the night sky is pretty humbling. I feel that wide-openness when I listen to this song even though I moved to Orlando. Why must we ruin the view with the highway lights? |

| Modest Mouse – 5-4-3-2-1 Lisp Off Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I read once that he uses some outboard gear like a frequency gated de-esser with the settings all cranked up to make his voice sound lispy. But then I heard him talk and it really is lispy, lol. Oh well...either way, great voice. | |
| Modest Mouse – Wild Packs of Family Dogs Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
I have also always thought of this song in a religious sense. The wild dogs = religious fanatics or other holier-than-thou people. I think that when the dogs take his family members away, it is symbolizing religious conversion from an experience that they have, but the narrator does not have. He seems lost that his family is leaving their old lifestyle, and finding a new one. Apathy plays a HUGE role in many of Isaac's songs. I agree with the assumption that in the end the dogs get their rewards in heaven for converting people to their beliefs. Also, "blood dust" in this song always made more sense to me as "blood lust." As in, maybe the mother feels emotional stress from her son being torn from his family in their time of conversion. |

| Modest Mouse – Breakthrough Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
I think this song has to do with a very "loner" type person who secludes himself in his home. ("I was inverted"...introversion being the quality of a person who cares about themself only, not making any attempt to connect with the outside world) The person in the song seems to be crying out for a reason to become less apathetic about his life. The curtains open, and he can see that he slept 'til 2 because the sun is coming in at an angle into his bedroom. The introverted person in the song has become this way because of a wedding he attended before this "condition." ("he said the groom's down on me cuz he ate the rice" -- rice usually thrown after a wedding.) Maybe the hermit in the song secludes himself because his lost love married, and he was there to see it happen. |
