Three Years Ago Today Lyrics

the other night I dreamt about a sudden realization
that everything bad that can happen to me would
woke up screaming god I hope I'm not bleeding
out my eyes or mouth when I die
I have seen a sheepish wonder
I see me three years ago today
no one's gonna push my buttons
no one's gonna have their say

a little while later I was trying to remember
but then it didn't seem quite as awful as it seemed
can't believe I won't admit that I have seen a sheepish wonder
I see me three years ago today
no one's gonna push my buttons
no one's gonna have their way

feel about the same but I'm 10 years older
watched my cat die for a month now I have seen a sheepish wonder
I saw you earlier today

Cover art for Three Years Ago Today lyrics by Built to Spill

I love the "watched my cat die for a month now I have seen a sheepish woner" line. I think he had to watch his pet cat get sick and die and that doesnt mkae him too happy. Knowing that Doug likes cats makes me respect him even more. cats kick ass.

the song is about him losing a pet cat three years today. the first part of the song is about him waking up dreaming about that day and how horrible it was. the line no one's gonna push my buttons no one's gonna have their say makes me think that his friends and family said that he should put his cat down. the second part is him realizing that it didn't seem quite as awful as it seemed. the last part where he says "feel about the same but I'm 10 years older" since the event happened three years ago he can't be 10 years older...
