Edit the Sad Parts Lyrics

Cover art for Edit the Sad Parts lyrics by Modest Mouse

I just got back from Phoenix, and the other night I was walking through the mall at like 9:45, right before they closed. All the wannabe teenage pimps were gone, as were most people, the mall was pretty empty. I just looked around and saw happy couples, like ages 23-26 or whatever, and I'm thinking "damn I sure miss that" as me and my girlfriend had just broken up a few days before.

I walk into Industrial (skateshop, for those of you who don't know) and no ones in there, and I'm walking around and all of the sudden I hear:

"Sometimes all I really want to feel is love Sometimes I'm angry that I feel so angry Sometimes my feelings get in the way Of what I really feel I needed to say"

How ironic is that...

that is ironic. my favorite lyric is "i made my shoes shine with my coal. but the polish didn't shine the hole."

you know- you can make everything look fine on the outside. but that doesn't change the inside. mostly

It isn't, it's coincidental. Ironic would be if you were walking around feeling all sad and then a very happy song came on. Or if suddenly someone threw you on the ground and anally raped you. l2english

Also, dude who replied also isn't ironic. That's a metaphor. Hurr durr evreethingz ironic becuz itz clevurr
