| Modest Mouse – Whenever I Breathe Out, You Breathe In (Positive/Negative) Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
this song has so many different meanings for me. generally, i think it is about being depressed to the point where you're completely numb to everything around you. it might even be a step further than depression, because with depression you actually have negative feelings, wheras this song expresses feeling nothing at all: I didn't feel angry or depressed I didn't feel anything at all I didn't want to go to bed And I didn't want to stay up late To understand this modest mouse song, i think you actually have to have experienced those lines. Well, to FULLY understand. For the lines... I didn't go to work for a month I didn't leave my bed for eight days straight I haven't hung out with anyone Because if I did, I'd have nothing to say ...They relate to a friend of mine, more of an ex-lover, who layed in bed for 8 days in jail, withdrawing from heroine. The lines "whenever you breathe out, i breathe in" is the sort of relationship i share with him. like whenever he's ready to start a relationship, i'm not type of thing. Idk, that's just the way I look at the song, but obviously it's different for everyone. Modest Mouse is the shit! :] |
