Modest Mouse – 3rd Planet Lyrics 20 years ago
just fyi for everybody:

"the universe is shaped exactly like the earth"


this is in a sense true, assuming that the universe is indeed finite in spacial dimensions, which is still debated among astrophysicists. If the universe is finite, it has no actual boundary, but in fact curves back around on itself, similar to the surface of the earth. The difference is that the universe is 3-dimensional space while the surface of the earth is 2. however, the concept is the same: continuing in a straight line will result in returning to the same spot.

Thus the lines are actually quite literal, in addition to any other meaning they have about "repeating history"
