Modest Mouse – What People Are Made Of Lyrics 21 years ago
this song was refreshing, so i'm gonna take a guess

MODEST MOUSE

"What People Are Made Of"

Rag weed tall better hope that his ladder don't crack
Or he'll hit the ground low, hard and onto his back

some band or artist cuttin' in
----------------------------------------------------------
At the battle at the bottom of the ocean, well the dead
do rise
You need proof I got proof at the surface you can watch
em float by

been there, seen the gggdddbbc already gone
----------------------------------------------------------
Way in back of the room, there sits a cage
Inside it's a clock that you can win if you can guess its age
Which you never can do cuz the time it constantly changes
For luck or lack
I guess that is the saying

never gonna sell out
----------------------------------------------------------
On the first page of the book of blue it read
"If you read this page, than that'll be your death"

considering a contract kills expression
----------------------------------------------------------
By then it was too late
And you wound up on an island of shells and bones that
bodies had left

every artist goes the same way
----------------------------------------------------------
And the one thing you taught me
'bout human beings was this
They ain't made of nothin' but water and shit

money
----------------------------------------------------------

Built to Spill – In Your Mind Lyrics 21 years ago
i don't know what this song is about, trip, alien,
enlightenment, nothing..

Built to Spill > In Your Mind

the symptoms of our getting older
the problems that say we don't mind
that most of us never get over
the memories mingled with lies

stressors can create focus
------------------------------------------------


coincidence gave a confession
that no one's allowed to forget
I don't wanna give the impression
that predestination is set

synchronous event discloses a curiosity that
doesn't conform to it's timeline
------------------------------------------------
the distance will increase the danger
where certainty's never enjoyed
regarded as equal yet stranger
embark then embrace then destroy

conforming to the curiosity by being anything other
than 'yourself' is not cool.
listen, engage, and don't try to make sense of it.
------------------------------------------------
observing the process will change it
and afterwards even if you
subconsciously rearrange it
it doesn't seem any less true

purity will fade but remain
------------------------------------------

remnants of thought disappearing
and even transcending concern
disturbing but somehow endearing
conditioned to never unlearn

in time the experience will slip
into the subconscious because
living normal logic conditions us..
-----------------------------------------
and no one can tell me to listen
and no one can tell me what's right
'cause nobody has my permission
and no one can see in your mind
in your mind
in your mind
in your mind

no one else's experience of this kind
matters because there is no way to
speak of it.
----------------------------------------

when magnifications explore
there slowly emerges a pattern
the details you normally ignore
you notice really what matters

after some time the experience will
reflect new properties of thought
---------------------------------------

there isn't a time or a place
only an ebb and a flowing
a permanent repeating space
occuring, connecting and growing


it can't be invoked, just???? observed
---------------------------------------

and no one can tell me to listen
and no one can tell me what's right
'cause nobody has my permission
and no one can see in your mind
in your mind
in your mind
in your mind


don't talk to me about it
---------------------------------------

Blind Melon – I Wonder Lyrics 21 years ago
Artists > Blind Melon > I Wonder


needing a simple life in a complex society
-----------------------------------------
All alone the broadening skies
Under the every night I will lie
Scratching claw and grip the rails
Every day my living hell
Oh God you know I've tried
I know how hard I tried
and oh I tried......




goes insane, feels good
---------------------------------------
Hey I'd like to daze away to a
Place like no one has known
In a state of mind I could call mine
That only I could own
Where I could hum a tune anytime
I choose, and then there is no such thing as time
Where I can feel no pain just calm and sane
What a place for one to find


insanity feeling turns bad
--------------------------------------
Now you see I'm watching everything
I do and they're watching everything I say
Why wont they leave me be?
Why am I even here? I wonder
You leave me wondering
Won't you stop watching me
I said they're watching me, watching me, watching me


committed to institution
-------------------------
Now in my corner I got the ceiling in my eyes
Arms holding up my knees
And rocking back and forth's my life
I didn't mean to feel this way
When I walked into the door, Lord
Then they ripped away my memories
And I cant remember who I was before.
And I only wanted to be 16 and free.

Built to Spill – Kicked It in the Sun Lyrics 21 years ago
Built To Spill Kicked It In The Sun


-----------------------------
backwashed thoughts
and you made me talk
no you made me listen
there's a feeling from ada to irene


writer finds this person engaging up to here
----------------------------------


there's something
there's nothing you haven't seen

writer finds fault, like person is not being real
---------------------------------

tiny tv
on at three
so serene

writer's quiet my simple comfortable life
-------------------------------------

no place to be alone
so come on over
yeah
let's sit down a little while
some wine
you will find the same things
the same things
the same things
the same things
the same things


person is back.. writer has same feeling
and same way to deal with it.
------------------------------------

by the time you read this
you kicked it in the sun
it was all that you could do
how could you refuse
and you kicked it in the sun
it was all you had to do
and you kicked it in the sun
it was all you had to do
how could you refuse
and you kicked it in the sun
it was wrong and it was rude
and you kicked it in the sun
it was wrong and it was rude
how could you refuse
and you kicked it in the sun


it means to somehow overlook that writer is being used
by person
-----------------------------------

it's alright now I'm getting over getting mine
it's alright now I'm getting over getting mine


means karma can suck
-----------------------------------

he seemed so unashamed of how he operated
corresponds to the facts that you want
despite his expectations
he turned out mediocre
his master plan was so so
we're special in other ways
ways our mothers appreciate
that net does not make me feel safe
all those holes make me nervous


this is the best part, writer is dissing this
guy fucking hard.. saying that only his mother
can appreciate the way he works..
----------------------------------

he woke up late that morning
went to the window and saw the sun had stopped its shining
so so
we're special in other ways
ways our mothers appreciate
we're special in other ways
ways our mothers appreciate
we're special
we're special

dis number two - basically saying the guy doesn't realize any futility
-----------------------------

Modest Mouse – Blue Cadet-3, Do You Connect? Lyrics 21 years ago
it appears to be a message to a person who can discern language as absolute code. but i believe blue cadet 3 is the sender rather than the receiver of the message do you connect.

like a call on a marine radio when you identify yourself first, then say what you want..

Modest Mouse – Doin' the Cockroach Lyrics 21 years ago
>modest mouse - doin the cockroach

--------------this part is obvious and somewhat of a profound setup for the
ideal surrounding the rest of the lyrics..

>I was in heaven
>I was in hell
>Believe in neither
>But fear them as well
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------this part establishes that these people are of the same mentality
but the cash fiend sticks out because the modus operandi of his travel
habits doesn't change and the writer doesnt care for it..
>This one's a doctor
>This one's a lawyer
>This one's a cash fiend
>taking your money
>Back of the metro
>Ride on the greyhound
>Drunk on the Amtrak
>Please shut up
---------------------------
---------------While the writer is still focused on people riding mass transit, demostrating the people who are most talkative are the one's with nothing to say or just base their coversation on shock value..
>Another rider
>He was a talker
>Talking about TV
>Please shut up
>This one's a crazer
>Daydreaming disaster
---------------------------------
---------------------- expanding on the the shock value mentality and likening situations.. also conveying it's part nature that people like to be center..
>The origin of junk food
>Rutting through garbage
>Tasty but worthless
>Dogs eat their own shit
-------------
------------ A scurrying roach running from everything human to avoid being
crushed.. the philosophy that people are about carnality..
> >We're doing the cockroach yeah
>Doin the cockroach yeah
>Doin the cockroach yeah (alright, not bad) [x3]
----------------------------------------------------------
---------------Time is void or doesn't matter..
>One year
>Twenty years
>Forty years
>Fifty years
>Down the road in your life
>You'll look in the mirror
>And say, "My parents are still alive."
-------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------- the writer doesn't buy anyone's input concerning this philosophy..
>You move your mouth
>You shake your tongue
>You vibrate my eardrums
>You're saying words
>But you know I ain't listening
---------------------------------------------
--------------------------- The writer doesn't believe physically beautiful people care about this philosophy.
>You're walking down the street
>Your face
>Your lips
>Your hips
>Your eyes
>They meet
>You're not hungry though
----------------------------------------------------------
--------------- I honestly don't know- maybe before the exquinox(time)at certain latitude(space) a paradox occured and either confirmed or refuted his belief in the cockroach philosophy and he needs time to process it..
>Well late last winter
>Down below the equator
>They had a summer that would make you blister
>Oh my mind is all made up
>So I'll have to sleep in it
>
