| Modest Mouse – Guilty Cocker Spaniels Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
i think the song is about how hollywood and society in general eventually change you without you realizing. "Well I took off running at the greatest speed I didn't bother looking to either side of me Well I didn't see, I just didn't see What was really going on The truth had stopped and the skyline rose Exchanging comfort for more fashionable clothes I'd left the hills at this point in time To run on treadmills in a perfect line" its like hes saying, "i was so excited that i just jumped right in without thinking about the concequences" (I took off running at the greatest speed I didn't bother looking to either side of me). and then the lines about "Exchanging comfort for more fashionable clothes" and "run on treadmills in a perfect line" make me think hes talking about conforming. and then the guilty cocker spaniel lines are about how people do anything for approval, even though it's only temporary and means they have to lower themselves. "Guilty cocker spaniels eating table scraps Well we rolled over, how our masters clapped It felt so good we wanted more than that But when the program failed they defensively laughed" altogether its a pretty good song. |
