Modest Mouse – History Sticks to Your Feet Lyrics 15 years ago
I'm pretty sure this song is inspirational. There is mystery in life which gives reason to live. It's the things we have figured out that lead to repetition, and a wasted life. Walk around and explore a bit (red marks on shoulders (backpack), homemade trophies)

Modest Mouse – King Rat Lyrics 15 years ago
I LOVE THIS SONG! Definitely my favorite on the album.

Meaning: Making a living in america is difficult, and he just doesn't want to it (hell, I don't either). He lists attempts at circumventing the crap that capitalism throws at him. No matter what he tries, he can't escape the grasp of having to work. Also, his attempts usually backfire from what I can tell of the lyrics.

Modest Mouse – Perpetual Motion Machine Lyrics 15 years ago
"Daniel read the paragraph
He read until the words ran out
It said we're all in trouble now

Poison in the juice carafe
We drank until our thirst ran out
Oh no, we're in some trouble now"

= Poison is alcohol, they're gonna have some fun

With your teeth to your lips
And your hair to the ground
Well, you hear the fish and they're making this sound
Saying, "We just want to go on walking around
And feel what it's like to fall down"

= Fish are people that enjoy alcohol. Falling down isn't a bad thing, just a different lifestyle. Watch Factotum by Bukowski.


Patrick ran the race
Yeah, he ran until the tire ran out
Oh no, I'm in some trouble now

Tried to kick it over
I tried until the juice ran out
Oh no, we want more trouble now

= Having fun with alcohol, hence juice.
