Built to Spill – Carry the Zero Lyrics 17 years ago
I have to say I don't think this is about a relationship.

More of a friendship, one where a person changed, and perhaps Doug wanted that person to still be around for him but they changed too drastically and perhaps he thought about it too much and tried to hard but it didn't matter because some people just change. (

Modest Mouse – 3rd Planet Lyrics 19 years ago
It's about misscarriage -


Everything that keeps me together is falling apart
I've got this thing that I consider my only art of fucking people over.

-He was excited about this baby, it was everything to him - it's dead now, his world is fallign apart. He feels he failed the person he impregnated.

My boss just quit the job
says he's goin out to find blind spots and he'll do it.

-Feels like the "big man" betrayed his baby.

The 3rd planet is sure that they're being watched
by an eye in the sky that can't be stopped.
When you get to the promise land
your gonna shake that eyes hand.

-But he can't give up "the big man"

Your heart felt good
it was drippin' pitch and made of wood.
And your hands and knees
felt cold and wet on the grass to me.
Well, outside naked, shiverin' looking blue, from the cold
sunlight that's reflected off the moon.
Baby cum angels fly around you
reminding you we used to be three and not just two.
And that's how the world began.
And that's how the world will end.

-Conception. And to me it always sounded like "they become angels" as in they're not of this world, they're still with you, you miss and love them. The baby is dead, and these memories remind you that at one point, your baby was alive. The world was everything and nothing to the baby the moment it died.

A 3rd had just been made and we were swimming in the
water
didn't know then was it a son was it a daughter.
When it occurred to me that the animals are swimming
around in the water in the oceans in our bodies
and another had been found another ocean on the planet
given that our blood is just like the Atlantic.

-He's saying that life is just like the earth, what your body can provide for a baby, the sea provides for a lot, in a round about way.

And how.

-the roundaboutness (sorry its 3am it makes sense to me :p)

Well, the universe is shaped exactly like the earth
if you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were.
And the universe is shaped exactly like the earth
if you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were.
The universe is shaped exactly like the earth.

-Everything revolves around something, his world is over and he has nothing but to go straight but he can't end up but coming full circle to the fact that his child is no more.
