| Modest Mouse – This Is Real Life (Untitled Demo) Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I think it'd be better as just "Real Life." The "this is" for some reason sounds strange to me for a modest mouse song. | |
| Modest Mouse – Wild Packs of Family Dogs Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| This song is pretty simple. Bad things happen and the narrator feels indifference toward each event. Nothing really matters, everything's fine. | |
| Bright Eyes – From a Balance Beam Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
First part of the song details about how he left his answers to religion, but then he "fell" and no longer saw it as truth. So he tried to kill himself, seeing that life had no meaning. And he's waiting for everything to end, but in the end, "And I will throw away this wrinkled map And my chart of stars and compass, cracked And I'll climb that tree all wet with sap To avoid the hungry beasts below I'll cut out my lover's tongue and sing Of a graveyard gray and a garden green And then we won't have worry no more No, we won't ever worry again About how this song or story ends About how this song and story will end" He throws away the religions and philosophies that he's been trying to figure out and realizes it doesn't matter how life ends or whether there is meaning because he has his lover and that's really all he needs and he doesn't have to worry about how "it all ends." |

| Mates of State – Think Long Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| The melody of the last part of the song is likely a reference to the Modest Mouse song "Think Long" since it sounds just like that. | |
| Rilo Kiley – It's a Hit Lyrics | 19 years ago |

| Sonic Youth – Teenage Riot Lyrics | 19 years ago |

| Devotchka – How It Ends Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| If anything, the song is about the non-existence of heaven and God. | |
| Iron & Wine – Jesus the Mexican Boy Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I think the song is more talking about an actual Mexican boy named Jesus and how he has the humility and kindness Jesus had. I don't think it has anything to do with Christianity. | |
