Lyric discussion by Endlestorm 

Cover art for Life Like Weeds lyrics by Modest Mouse

I'm surprised only one other person has commented. I'll tell you what I think. The most significant lines to me are the following:

"So you think you've figured out everything But we know that our minds are just made out of strings To be pulled, strings to be pulled"

and

"I know where you're from, but where do you belong."

I think the song is all about figuring out who you are, what you want and where you belong. I always loved it, but it gained huge significance this summer, as I spent it in Norway and a lot of things changed in my head. Its one of my top 10 songs of all time.
