Cover art for The Stars Are Projectors lyrics by Modest Mouse

i agree with both eleventy and seventynine, but i read a lot more things in the earlier verses. i think the song has to do with the fact that in the end everybody is an individual and there can be no universal truth about anything be it god or history.

at the same time people are forced to invent different faces for themselves which they in different situations (it's all about moderate climatese, you gotta be cold and be hot for sure). this is an all natural thing, but the way this society has gone, it's gone quite out of hand in a way. a lot of more insecure people have a hard time to cope with it (You've got the harder part, you've got the kinder heart and it's true. I've got the easy part, I've got the harder heart ain't this true). it's a cold world, a lot of people are leading colder lives. the stars that are seen on the earth may even be dead ones.

i hope this makes some kind of sense.
