Here It Comes Lyrics

Walk to your house on my lunch break
Here it comes
Come inside and pour a drink
You'll probably tell me everything you think

Here it comes
The place and the time that we knew
everything could go wrong
The grass grows green
could you step away from the screen
it doesn't mean
I don't want you to be seen
just like everyone.

Grass grows green and it's just everyone.
You always told me life's a dam that breaks, well
Here it comes
If you sit still or if you run
Here it comes.

So now we're drownin' in birthday cakes
Here it comes
The place and the time that we knew that things could go wrong
Keep it clean.

I didn't mean to be mean.
Why does it always seem
Like I've never won.

Keep it clean and no one's ever won.
The empty promise makers said
Here it comes
Make a point to make no sense, well
Here it comes
Speak about the future in the past tense
Here it comes
Don't look down.

So what'd we do?
Here it comes
Walkin' around with shit on our shoes
Oh, here it comes
The place and the time that we knew things would go wrong.

Cover art for Here It Comes lyrics by Modest Mouse

Put simply, this song is about the vanity of life. It's saying that no matter what you do, the end is coming. I think of Pompeii, where people were doing just normal stuff when a wave of hot ash instantly killed them. Or the flood of Noah's day. There is no escaping it. Its reality. Like death. Here it comes. Doesn't really matter what you do. Great song, but some of the interpretations here are pretty far fetched. Some people don't realize that Isaac Brock is the ultimate cynic. Lots of Modest Mouse lyrics seem to indicate his view of the triviality of life, which I don't entirely disagree with. There is a very Epicurean view in much of their music. (See Guilty Cocker Spaniels, Bury Me With It, Life Like Weeds, etc.) I like that.

sounds like its all about being redundant... something i see alot in the lyrics of MM "Make a point to make no sense Here it comes Speak about the future in the past tense Here it comes"

i think this is one of the best mm songs. i love it. the lyrics in this song are so awesome

This is the only song that has those lyrics Past...

The lyrics are self exlpanatory..it is about a carefree person who loves life and sees he is getting older, but is still living (or hoping to live) with some of that same carefree attitude.

This song, Summer, All Nite Drive In, are the kind of songs by MM that can get stuck in your head from the beat alone!
