| Modest Mouse – Secret Agent X-9 Lyrics | 23 years ago |
| the title of this song is also the title of chapter 10 in kurt vonnegut's book 'cat's cradle'.. this name is given as a joke in reference to a kid who acts all secretive and anti-social and stuff.. the book is about the end of the world because of nukes and stuff.. i still don't understand this song completely, but yeah.. look into that chapter in vonnegut's book and see what you can make of it.. both the song and the book are great! | |

first of all.. this song is probably my favorite MM song.. as far as meaning goes, i think i only understand parts of it.. particularly the parts about speech: when he says 'i wish i could have told you all..' and then says 'all this talking all the time and the air fills up, up, up.. until there's nothing left to breathe..', he is showing the nature of words and their function.. it seems he wishes he could have expressed something of meaning with words, but all that ever comes out is junk that 'fills up the air', so to speak. yeah.. not very helpful, but that's pretty much the only part i understood in the song. please elaborate more for me!! |
