Modest Mouse – It Always Rains on a Picnic Lyrics 16 years ago
No, I don't suppose
It always rains on a picnic
Don't let go quite yet

What I get out of this is that sometimes, things don't turn out as you had hoped, and then it might seem like it ALWAYS rains on your picnics, but don't give up because it isn't really so.

Modest Mouse – Satin in a Coffin Lyrics 16 years ago
We will all die no matter what, so this world is just our coffin. This is true if you choose to see it in that way. Religion suggests something else, but since we cannot be sure about anything like that, we should just stop tricking ourselves and enjoy the time we have. Because life is meaningless, but great.

Modest Mouse – Ocean Breathes Salty Lyrics 16 years ago
Will you tell me what you saw and I'll tell you what you missed
When the ocean met the sky
You missed when Time and Life shook hands and said goodbye
(You missed) When the earth folded in on itself
(You missed) And said Good luck
For your sake I hope heaven and hell
(You missed) Are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath
(You missed) You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death?

Why are you hoping to get to heaven when you would just waste your time there, just like you wasted your time on earh?
Maybe Isaac is frustrated over people who are just talking about death all the time, instead of enjoying their lives... I think some of the other songs on the album are about something similar. At least Satin in a Coffin
