Modest Mouse – Other People's Lives Lyrics 21 years ago
citizendildo:

I don't think so. See "Talking Shit About a Pretty Sunset":

"I blame this town, this job, these friends. The truth is: it's myself."

One of many MM songs about ennui that leads to irresponsible behavior.

Modest Mouse – Space Travel Is Boring Lyrics 21 years ago
Another Isaac song that plays on the "grass in always greener" theme. Once again he finds that that notion is just some BS trick your mind is playing on you. The girl in the song goes off to find just about the farthest away grass she can, and still: it's boring.

Modest Mouse – Other People's Lives Lyrics 21 years ago
Another one of Isaac's "the grass is always greener on the other side" songs. But very amusing in how bluntly he puts it: "other people's lives seem more interestin' cause they ain't mine."

Modest Mouse – Lounge (Closing Time) Lyrics 21 years ago
The second verse is clearly referencing heroin use. The "sylabble lisp" is just the resultant slurred speech. "The twist" isn't a commonly used term for heroin, but it was used by Kurt Cobain in the song "Aneurysm" : "Come on over and do the twist / Come on over and shoot the shit / Love you so much you make me sick." Porcupine refers to the needle.
