Shit Luck

i was on a plane a couple years ago heading to ny, just relaxing, listening to modest mouse on shuffle, and all of a sudden i hear isaac screaming at me "THIS PLAN IS DEFINITELY CRASHING!!" scared the shit out of me.

It may seem like a meaningless ditty, but most MM songs have meaning, especially the almost pointless. Basically, its aying that you inevidably have shit luck, because you inevidably die. Whether its plane crash, drowning or natrual cause "My heart is slowly dried up!" and there's no way to avoid death.

I just came up with this conclusion last night. I must have heard this song 500 times and never guessed it.

I think this song is about apathy, "This plane is definately crashing" Like we are headed in a shitty direction but "my heart is slowly dried up" meaning he became apathetic to the situation once he accepted it.

MODEST MOUSE IS THE SHIT!

its about shit luck. and its fucking awesome.

I love how after every line, the music deteriorates until it's nothing more than noise.

This song is about destruction...and it gets me on the floor laughing everytime i hear it!

heheheehehheheh this is a cool song it's obviouysly about SHIT LUCK.. DUH

this song is great it makes me wanna break soething! go modest mouse

The best part about this song is that it would rock just as hard if it were slow and soft. Because Modest Mouse rocks either way.
