Modest Mouse – Little Motel Lyrics 16 years ago
to "thatsbeachy44" if you read the whole paragraph it was stated in,

The remainders of a shooting star
Landed directly on our broke-down little car
Before then we had made a wish
That we would be missed
If one or another just did not exist

You wish on shooting stars, and that broken down car is their relationship. They originally wished that if one did disappear that the other would miss them, but now the relationship is failing they don't care anymore and are taking that wish back. They know the other has to leave, and know they may not miss them.

I think it's related to depression, alot of these songs seem to be to me.

i woke up howling at the moon
lost and scared
this place i'd not been before
like the fear, the voices grew

Possibley he is talking about awakening from a deep depression, describing it as being like a werewolf becoming human again and finding himself howling at the moon. He doesnt fully comprehend why he's so depressed and has never been so fully engulfed in it. Again wakening momenterialy, the moon in a sense has come out from behind a cloud again and the voices grow dragging him back down.

they yelled, "kill the beast, before he kills you"
heard her scream "c'mon lets run,
if they catch us here,
we won't live to see the sun"
hang you by morning, shoot me by gun
this dying beast
felt his heart'd been torn

Could be talking about his fear to tell people and let him know how hes feeling, scared he might be ridiculed and sent to a spot in peoples mind they reserve for people they beleive are weak, monsters or beneath them. All these feelings tear him up even more tearing his heart at how emotionless he imagines people would be to him.

wake up, you've got the blues

He keeps telling himself this over and over trying to pull himself out, or maybe its a callout to other people depressed and lonely "Wake up you got the blues" pull yourself together, nothings as bad as you think it is!

a peasant sent love with the queen
was cast through the shadows
to one frightful dream
the kings black magic
screamed "hey you wait
there you'll die a beast
like my heart did break"

People are trying to reach out to him "a peasant sent love with the queen" but his mind throughs there help away putting it into the "shadows" making him believe(dream) that there is no point. "the kings black magic screamed" a reference to him being a werewolf trying to talk him into believing theres no escape from this depression.

At the Drive-In – Non-Zero Possibility Lyrics 17 years ago
lets look at it like a bird flu outbreak or something?

i'm just tired of counting bodies
(someone dealing with dead early in the break out of the diesese)
is this mausoleum tardy
(The days spent burying them go slow)
let's just paint you a pretty face
(lets make out everything isnt going so bad)
flies dip tongues into tear ducts
(flies are feeding on corpses)
in toothpicks fought unborn
(hmm?
contusion is hungry
(the virus spreads further)
they still eat their young
(meaning it is evolving becomeing a tougher strain?)
proto-culture null and void
(Everything that we know from previous and our current culture cannont help us)

all veins in highway laps
(once its in your blood it spreads all over you)
this breath collapsed again
(testing cures on ppl but they still die)
this hex was delivered spent
(still on the testing cures, but instead they are just killing them quicker with vacines or whatnot)
orchestra influenza
(it is now at a massive scale this could possibley mean)
drawn and quartered pets
(People that have it are now just being rounded up and locked in "pens"... quarentined?)
it dwells and grows
(it still hasnt stoped spreading)

this is the pocket-sized edition
(this is only the start of whats to come)
rapid sleep through benediction
(benidiction meaning prayer and hope, and you will only be having rapid sleeps in fear of never waking up.)

let's just paint you a pretty face
museums mark their bodies down
(countless have died)
and the tenants found
all the distance in their prefix
(the dead that are found dont resemble anything of what they used to look like, prefix, before they had the caught the virus)
contusion is hungry
they still eat their young
proto-culture null and void
fever bliss into central nervousness
(surviviors dont care anymore they have accepted their fate)
i was bitten on the entrance
(everyones doomed to die as soon as they are born, thats a fact)

it could just mean what it says, he throws a letter out that he wrote to someone, but somebody else picked it up and well the lost it, but its out their somewhere on her way to her?

To me it means that he never thought he was the guy for her, neither was the garbage man. but one day she will find the right person?
