Modest Mouse – Bukowski Lyrics 15 years ago
All you oldschool punks, there's lots of way of punk rock anarchy. There's Blink-182, they think they're so anarchy but I remember the days of Greenday, that was some serious punk rock anarchy. Yeah, man. That was anarchy, that was anarchy, man. People, they don't even, they don't even realize how anarchy the Sex Pistols were. Some people like Crass, they say The Sex Pistols didn't know what anarchy was. But they're not even, they're not even anarchy enough. Yeah, man, The Sex Pistols invented anarchy. Yeah, they're not anarchy enough to even know that The Sex Pistols invented anarchy like that song, Anarchy in the U.K. And this one time, I was walking down the street, and this guy was like "hey you need a ride?", and I was like "No, man. I'll walk. Your car's a piece of the system. I'm part of the system when you use your car."
Yeah, 'cos I'm punk rock anarchy.
You know, one day this guy came up to me with a gun and he was like "Hey, man. I'm gonna kill you." And I'm like "Well you know what? I don't care. I don't give a fuck. I'm into it, 'cos I'm punk rock anarchy." You know what? I can't even make a proper British accent, I don't even care 'cos I'm anarchy. It doesn't even matter how much of a not British person I am. Yeah, we were like, some guy was like, hey, man. Don't you know British accents are the new punk? And I'm like "Yeah, man. But I'm too punk rock anarchy to learn one."
Damn, the song's over.

i think this may be about the same female as "barnacles" or at least the same situation in another relationship. both songs are spot-on of the confusion a relationship with an emotional-cheater.

Ugly Casanova – Barnacles Lyrics 15 years ago
i only read the first page of posts and was so furious so i had to make an account. I'm glad to see the more recent posts have a better idea of what Issac was getting at. all the people that tried to discount Issac Brock's work down to drug induced nonsense are fucking idiots. he is one of the best song writers of all time. he is a genius. if you really think hes that insane and just rambles or he just gets fucked up and throws some tracks down in a studio and its automagicaly a masterpiece. (like damn near everything he does is) sit in your moms basement and beat your dick till you write something as amazing as barnacles or teeth like gods shoe shine or bankrupt on selling.

Ugly Casanova – Barnacles Lyrics 15 years ago
this song is about codependency and a good relationship gone bad where issues are just hidden or ignored. because neither party wants to see how bad things really are because they're stuck in the memory of how amazing things used to be together.

"i don't really need to see
so i don't need to see so i'll paint
i don't know, i'll paint it black"
-the way he mumbles and slurs this really shows the confusion, denial, and futility of the situation, and turning the problems over and over in his head but not being able to find a real solution besides just covering it up by "painting it black"

-he tries to talk to her about the things that are wrong.
'i was talking like two hands knocking
yelling 'let me in, let me in, please come out."

-and it was obviously about as useful as.
"black glass" and "dirt-based soap"

"tell yourself what you know."
-that it is beyond repair and there's more to the truth than whats being told.

"hard hit, hard to miss, problems are what a problem is."
-eventually everything that is really going on comes out and it hurts him

"my light came up quick, call it your asterisk"
-he caught on and and shes scrambling to correct her lies and fill him in on the other half of the truth. hence the asterisk* *displaced information

"buried like boys in a boys first book of the stars.
-hes in awe of everything that she was hiding from him pouring over thoughts and memories connecting it all trying to make sense of it but failing.

"saw it as satellite
constant unblinking as
buried in the bottom of a bottom of a brackish lake"
-what was going on with her was too big to hide.little rays of truth made it to the surface through all of the filth.

"i don't really need to see
so i don't need to see so i'll paint
i don't know, i'll paint it black"
-he knowingly crawls back into his hole of cold comfort and denial.
