Modest Mouse – The Beta Carotene Lyrics 17 years ago
I had to post this version of beta carotene rather than have it just remain in the comment section for the former.

Truely an amazing stream of conciousness song from Isaac. I believe it's about all things end, and all things die, like summer. He also seems to hint at depersonalization, I wonder if he has it.

Modest Mouse – Birds vs. Worms Lyrics 19 years ago
Modest Mouse never has songs about relationships people (except for She Ionizes And Atomizes) and this not one of them. They have better things to write about than a break up or how a woman broke his heart. They're not some shitty mainstream band.

Modest Mouse – Alone Down There Lyrics 20 years ago
M'kay heres my interpretation of the lyrics

How do, how do you do?
My name is you (The man is stating you and him are alike)

Flies, they all gather around me and you too (You are in the dumps. You're in the bottom of the barrrel. You are nothing. He's establishing a connection with you.)

You can't see anything well (people are blind nowadays so to speak)

You ask me what size it is, not what I sell (People only care about how big and fancy things are nowadays, this is also says this guy is a seller of somesorts.)

The flies, they all gather around me and you too

I don't want you to be alone down there
To be alone down there, to be alone (The saleman is trying to take advantage of you by saying he wants to help you out in your current state.)

The Devil's apprentice he gave me some credit (credit from a person like that means nothing)

He fed me a line and I'll probably regret it (regretting choices possibly from smooth talking salesmen)

I don't want you to be alone down there
To be alone down there, to be alone
Ah.
I don’t want you to be alone down there
To be alone down there, to be alone

:P

Modest Mouse – Out of Gas Lyrics 20 years ago
I hate when people think every song is about drugs.

But anyway, I feel this is about some guy who has hit rock bottom and has nowhere else to go, and everyone else that looks down upon him he states that they will "come down soon too".
