The song has a double entendre. Devo joked about sex a lot, but it's also heavily about social anxiety and paranoia, not just sex/masturbation |

One of my favorites from this album. It's pretty obvious what it's about: A protagonist which resides in a probably Middle-south Asian mountain range vs. his archvillain who is doing typical baddie things. |

| Modest Mouse – Autumn Beds Lyrics
| 16 years ago

It seems to me that Autumn would have a double meaning. Being the autumn that Synergistic put forth and then the Autumn in the literal sense, in that they WON'T because it just happens to be August and it's not like they're getting out soon, especially not in the first term of the sentence if it also pertains to the Synergistic theory.
Of course this could almost be completely literal, as Brock himself was incarcerated for a short while, so it could be a residual song from when that occurred. And this seems that with the theme of the album, Good News rather than We Were Dead. But the feel is a little bit skewed for EITHER album. |

To me, it seems like the intent of the song is one of backstabbing, the way that sometimes your best friends will leave you, and occasionally not only tear a part of you out, they also take some of your other friends with them, leaving you with even less. And then the second time around, when that same force that stole your original self, with all its calculated facades and possible personalities, you don't care, as you are perfectly content with the group running itself into the ground because of its terrible actions, and you know that they can take as much as they want, and you've still got your sanity.
At least that's how I see it, as that was a big part of my life a few years back. |

Some people are trying to over-analyze this. This whole album seems to just be a break from the normal seriousness to make an album of catchy songs that mean little. Hopefully it isn't a preview of the entirety of their Warner Bros.-signed career. |

| Rilo Kiley – Accidntel Deth Lyrics
| 17 years ago

The title's spelled wrong for whomever submitted this to this site. Deth, however is spelled right. Never got why they did that the way they did.
The "lying motionless" thing is nothing to do with sex, the song's about someone who has died. most notably, it's alluding to you and your personal actions and choices. Is that not blatantly obvious by the title, chorus, multiple references, etc?
The Indian is accidentally trapped where they ought not to have been. Ergo, their death is imminent. ACCIDENTAL FUCKIN' DETH. The title of the song, once again.
The suicide idea of the gun is a somewhat plausible meaning, but I personally think the whole damn phrase is about someone accidentally ruining someone else's life, making mistakes along the way in their life, something so devastating that it causes an epiphany, and Jenny was asking the audience if they would change their ways, whatever form of treachery they were.
The brain/body thing is about you worrying trying to identify yourself so much that by the time you've got yourself a label, your time is up. Or something along those lines.
And why, on this website, is every song about drugs? Sure, there's something about drugs in some songs, but I've seen it on bands that don't associate with drugs in any song, at all. Just a personal comment on this site.
Some other ideas of different parts seemed plausible, but others failed miserably. |

This more just about the general BAND, but it's good to see punk isn't dead. Of course, this is a lot different than the Dead Kennedys, but it's amazing. And to think, there are shitty capitalistic clone bands that think they're punk!
But this is a good example. Very anti-religion. |

This song is awful. This dance is awful. It's just another two bit hip hop/rapper who puts a lousy beat to meaningless sex lyrics and invents an idiotic dance to go with it, therefor brainwashing the youths into believing it's good. You people who like it are just idiots. This is what Martin Luther King Junior fought for? Young African Americans to create awful music and act stupid? Not to mention most rappers are hypocrites, acting "ghetto" when they live in million dollar mansions and all that. There ARE good Hip Hop artists, and GOOD rappers, but you won't find them on MTV or on BET or on the radio. |

I missed some things that would be a good talking point in this very song, such as the "Of course this all had been laid down/way before we laid down for it all" |

I personally have heard and believe that this song(and entire album, as I've heard) is about the apocalypse and, yes, including global warming into that. It has recurring themes of the over-mechanization of life and things being created only to die, in that classic Modest Mouse "This is one way, but wait it's the other way!" In the loop kind of sense. It too has nautical themes, but apocalyptic things reign prevalent too. We Know Everything reveals that "Well, we've come so far, we know everything, I guess we're done" basically. Dashboard even has some lyrical hinting to it.. "If the world don't like us, it'll shake us off just like we were a cold". Little Motel kind of talks about us waiting for something, like, I believe, as "we're waiting for something new" or perhaps an end to it all? There are other parts in songs that go along with such theories, but I'll let you figure them out if you like my crazy speculations |
