The View Lyrics

Lyric discussion by RattleandHumu2 

Cover art for The View lyrics by Modest Mouse

The line that hits me is "If life's not beautiful without the pain, I'd just rather never even see beauty again." paraphrased of course. That sums up the whole song for me, life can be shitty sometimes and at this point he doesn't even see the light at the end of the tunnel. It's beautiful and sad, but i love this song, along with the album.
