| Modest Mouse – Novocain Stain Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| i'm from the issaquah area (renton,) and since the 90's when isaac romped around this area, it's really become just an average suburb of seattle; there's nothing interesting here anymore, and yes, there is an abundance of housing developments named after things they replace. | |
| Modest Mouse – Nothing New Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| i think it's more about the virtual impossibility of creating something ENTIRELY new, and to someone that's really really looked into something, like a piece of music. this song has probably been reproduced accidentally (that is, the musical aspect of it) SOMEWHERE in the US. with minimal effort and not really trying to create something, you won't impress anybody. | |

Lyrical Genius, a true poet in the heart of this post-human being (Far superior to normal humans.) Having gotten a degree in junior engineering and a award for being the most behaved all week from ‘The Lanchesterian Junior institute for children with special needs’ I consider myself gifted, like it said, I am special. This song uses Ancient Aztec Mythology as a metaphor to outline how some of us are too busy worrying about death to enjoy life. How the existence of a god in our minds have made us believe in an afterlife and how we let this thought control us and, so that we are rewarded in death for something that may be fiction, we kill many innocent people and destroy the life we know does exist and as a result never enjoy it, all for what may be a lie. As a result, this piece of art has been the target of much religious gunfire. But many artists suffer for their work, such as Leonardo Van Helsing, who for his art once crucified his daughter upside in a church that he set on fire in 1692 (Although he was let off when the judge admitted she was a little annoying at times.) This was not made to ridicule Christians’ beliefs, or even tell Christians what to believe. No, this was to teach us all that there is more to life than the hope of the afterlife. Feast on life while the diner is open, for tomorrow, it is converted into a Starbucks. Of course, this is just how I interperate this masterpiece, this song speaks to many lyrically on so many different levels. However, being a strict Catholic, this deeply offends and I will be joining my colleagues in getting this filth banned. I don’t want to worry about life, the afterlife is more fun. You get to play squash with Albert Einstien and laugh at Gaudi (Who is in hell for not being a Catholic.) i love you |

by citizendildo2045 on 11-05-2004 @ 12:54:00 PM if you really want to know what this song means go live in Issaquah, WA with nothing to do but drugs and play music, and then you might understand it a little better, but probably not that all applies to me and modest mouse is my favorite band of all time... go figure |

| Modest Mouse – Crazy Gnome Lyrics | 17 years ago |

it sounds like isaac told everyone else to "play this over and over" and he just played a bunch of weird stuff and made stuff up about crazy gnome. and, just because he's isaac brock, this song ends up being fucking marvelous |

i think this song is about contradicting yourself, and hypocrites ... and how they're generally bad |
|
| Modest Mouse – Classy Plastic Lumber Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
"So this is about ugly lovers And this is about pretty songs" should be "so this isn't about ugly lovers, and this isn't about pretty songs" the following line explains it, "i'm a bastard, bastard, bastard" obviously isaac brock doesn't care much for lyrics including happy endings |

| J Mascis and the Fog – Freak Scene Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
this is such a great song, the only way to describe it is bittersweet it's like good memories, but you miss the better days overall i think this song is just about relationships with your friends, how it can get shitty but you just gotta stick with it |

| Pink Floyd – Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I - V) Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Syd Barret was not an LSD addict, but he did use acid a whole fucking lot. LSD won't mess you up unless you use it as much as Syd Barret, and this whole song refers to the drug alot... Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun. -Before Syd's drug use, he was a normal person. Shine on you crazy diamond. Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky. -LSD (or really any hallucinogen) dilates your pupils, making them like giant, black holes. Shine on you crazy diamond. You were caught on the cross fire of childhood and stardom, -In Syd's head he loved life, like a child, but the life he had to live was as a celebrity. blown on the steel breeze. Come on you target for faraway laughter, come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine! -I can't really explain this. You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon. -He expanded his mind too quickly and too much before he knew the real world. Shine on you crazy diamond. Treatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light. -Believing that shadows would harm him, but lights would hurt his eyes. Shine on you crazy diamond. Well you wore out your welcome with random precision, rode on the steel breeze. Come on you raver, you seer of visions, come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine! -Everything that Syd seemed to be, a ranter and a raver, a seer of visions, a painter, a "piper" by getting people to follow him, a prisoner to the world. |

i love the way isaac brock says it so matter-of-factly. "this boat is OBVIOUSLY sinking." it's like telling someone the painfully obvious |

| Infected Mushroom – Drop Out Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| the quote from tim leary is actually "turn on, tune in, drop out," referring to LSD ("dropping acid.") | |
| Modest Mouse – Interstate 8 Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I think this song is just all about futility, in that some times, no matter how far you try and drive, you just end up in the same place. | |
| Modest Mouse – Dark Center of the Universe Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I think the line "If you can't see the thin air then what the hell is in your way?" is a different meaning for the term "ignorance is bliss." If you can't see anything in your way, why should it stop you? |
