| Modest Mouse – So Much Beauty in Dirt Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
i kind of feel like there is a reference to the movie American Beauty.
"Find yourself watching M.A.S.H.
Every night on the couch" - in the movie the dad and mom don't relate anymore so they just watch mash every night.
and
"so much beauty it could make you cry"- the main character films random things in the world that no one would take a second glance at but are so beautiful. while explaining his favorite thing he's ever filmed (a plastic bag in the wind), he says there is just so much beauty in the world that sometimes he feels like he could just burst. and then he cries.
i'm sure that this song isn't just about the movie. it's about opening our eyes to see all the beauty in the world so we can enjoy life more. |

this is my favorite song on the new album. the first verse is telling us to cherish the good things (it's my favorite part in the song.) when he says "Oh please just last!" it sends chills down my spine. |

oh how i love catherine feeny and her voice. i think she is in a relationship and things are going well but the man is getting serious. She doesn't want the relationship to end so she just goes along with it because "sometimes a lie is kind." her voice is orgasmic. |

| Death Cab for Cutie – What Sarah Said Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
|
i think "i would rather lose than to have never lain beside at all" is like "it's better to have loved and lost then to have never loved at all." but my favorite part in the song (gives me chills) is "but i'm thinking of what sarah said: love is watching someone die." |

| The Good Life – Inmates Lyrics

|
|
i always quote this song, particularly this part: "life is a series of callouses, this just another layer." it just means that rough times help to make you stronger later on in life. i love how the whole song is saying how he can't hurt her but in the last verse she admits she did. so sad. but hey! atleast she won't be his prisoner right? |

| Iron & Wine – The Trapeze Swinger Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
Please, remember me my misery and how it lost me all I wanted. those dogs that love the rain and chasing trains the colored birds above their running
in circles around the well and where it spells on the wall behind St. Peter so bright with cinder gray
and spray paint "Who the hell can see forever?"
that's my favorite part in the song because it helps me to remember that being unhappy gets you nowhere. |
