Courtney Love – Nobody's Daughter Lyrics 14 years ago
Weird.
I have 2 versions of Nobodys Daughter.
One of them as the original lyrics I head as the correct one.
And then the other one has metalheadgirl's lyrics as the correct ones.

I have a load of other of the same songs from this album but with the background music and the intro's sounding different.
Wtf??

Hole – Retard Girl Lyrics 14 years ago
Yeah, the person above me is right.
She wrote this song after she almost got raped when she was stripper and no one did anything to help her.

I do think it was about herself a school child though, I just think the feeling that she felt just after the rape incident reminded her of how she felt when she was younger.

I think it's a way of taking out her pain on herself, reliving painful memories and trash talking herself.

Modest Mouse – Convenient Parking Lyrics 14 years ago
In this same interview Isaac says that anyone can interpret the song as they want, so, I'm not disproving the drug theory.

Interviewer: "Convenient Parking?"
Isaac Brock: It's supposed to keep going on like that ... you drive through the country, you end up looking at the same thing, different city to parking lot to whatever. You know what I mean? It is what it is, there's not much hidden there. The song's about what it sounds like it's about.

Modest Mouse – Truckers Atlas Lyrics 14 years ago
I always took this song literally with the travelling around.
Although the "I do lines" always meant drugs to me.

If it is talking about drugs though, it is defiantly on about ice, not coke.

I hope you only planned to dump her once she said "this is a dumb song". Thought playing this to her pre-dumping is hilarious.

Perfectly justified face kick.

Made abundantly clear by the word "high" and claiming you don't know what you're doing whilst tripping.

But it's also a lyric site.. They need the whole collection on here!
And people can also talk about the riff and the sound of the music (as they have) not just the lyrics.
Pssh, it's all part of the meaning dude.

MGMT – Electric Feel Lyrics 14 years ago
"About a girl with electricity running through her veins"
And it never occurred to you the electricity could be lsd?
I think that the "she" is spoken about as in 'Lucy'.

But whatever, people can interpret a song to how it means most to them, no one is right or wrong. You don't have to think of it exactly as the artist did.

Modest Mouse – You're the Good Things Lyrics 14 years ago
I find it difficult to believe this song is about depression or something bad. The song is too upbeat. It has a feel-good vibe to it.
I used to think that he was saying this person is the good things DESPITE the bad circumstances.
That they make the bad things in his life a bit better.

But after reading all the comments, I don't know. It's very plausible that the song is sarcastic.

This is just the middle parts though. No one has really tried to go into detail about the parts at the beginning and end. It's been established they are about death, but how does that tie into the middle?
Maybe, it could be saying the no matter what you do, no "sleight of hand" (trick) is going to escape you from the inevitable fate that we are going all going to die. So this could be related to the middle part (if we look at it from the view that they are the good things despite the bad circumstances) that we need to make the best out of the bad times, as they are going to happen whichever way we take them.
And then at the end, yeah sure, they are both going to die. But they will end up in the same place, maybe you're dying but you're not alone. I'll help you dig it, help isn't short when we have each other even though it's the end.

I don't know, I prefer to think this is a happy song rather than a sad/sarcastic one.

Modest Mouse – Willful Suspension of Disbelief Lyrics 14 years ago
Evolution CAN be seen though. They have proof because of the fossils, they show animals gradually changing.
Air MOLECULES can be seen too.

The point of this song is saying, that even if you were looking for heaven and hell you wouldn't find it. As it doesn't exist. Tell me, where is heaven? Where is God? Where are they hiding?

Mister Heavenly – Pineapple Girl Lyrics 15 years ago
My favourite of the 2 releases.

This is just a guess at the meaning.
At the start of the song, there's a girl who likes him and shows interest in him.
"I saw your package your nifty little package
Read your letter bout how you loved my sweater"

At the start of the relationship he realises she's not a nice person but that doesn't bother him, because he thinks there's a negative side to everything.
"I've heard your evil and I've heard your wicked
that you do bad things that would frighten children
lake eriee's frigid oh I hate the winter
but I still ice skate even though there's danger
and that's okay with me every spider has a tree
And the world goes round and round"

But then as the relationship goes on he realises that if he stays with her then she'll eventually do something nasty to him
"I don't desire to be clueless creature
just waltzing through the woods waiting to get eaten"

He's lonely but knows it was the best thing to do otherwise he would have turned into an evil person
"I'm all alone and lonely in this tower
I'm not that evil but there are some people
I might have to harm them don't mean to alarm you"

So yeah, he doesn't want to be with her.
"You'll never be my pineapple girl"


Just a guess at the meaning, maybe I'm looking too much into it.

HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW THE CYCLE OF WATER?

I think this line could mean technology, we're distracted from living by computers, TVs etc. and it is difficult to understand how they work, so they are complex.

Modest Mouse – Blue Cadet-3, Do You Connect? Lyrics 15 years ago
Well there is a long silence (half a minute long) at the end of the song, so that must mean that all connection is lost. Which really leaves a sad message, that the person is definitely gone.

It could mean that he had just lost someone in his life, he was trying to contact them but the person won't talk to him or that the person was dead and he could, again, no longer contact them.
