kaaceday, you're wrong. stop making stuff up. most heroin users can find their veins without the use of a tourniquet. black tar heroin often comes packaged in balloons. and there's no way in hell this is about abortion. "that was your womb".. = "that was your protection" i hate when people find the smallest details in a song and make it relate to something completely unrelated |

| Modest Mouse – Styrofoam Boots/It's All Nice on Ice, Alright Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song is one of the many on LCW that deal with crystal meth. It seems like just about every song on this album is dealing with one substance or another. Contrary to what the above poster said about meth, it doesn't make you numb. You could be mentally numb, but it isn't an anesthetic. Also, it's not very hard to discern day from night, it's just easy to lose track after staying up for a few days straight of what happened when. The first part of the song Brock has not yet tried methamphetamine. The reference to the mafia and christ are metaphors for the effects of crystal meth. You've got to be an unlucky person to be killed by the mafia, just about as unlucky as being addicted to crystal meth. You can swim normally but styrofoam boots are keeping you under. You can't fight it. = Addiction. The reference to walking on water is obviously an allusion to the meth high. Then, he tries it. "and i'll be damned, they were right" he's damned because he didn't believe them..but, by this point he's tried it. he feels unlucky (drowning upside down) now that he has the burden of addiction, yet he's care free (afloat like christ's) the heaven part is humorous, without a doubt, but it can be seen as isaac's new thought of heaven after having tried meth. he thinks nothing is as good as meth, so there can't be a heaven. peter is laughing because he knows isaac is tweaking. tweakers are notorious for cleaning, etcetera, so he can put him to work "polishing halos,"etc.. the "some guy" isaac is talking about is god. In the christian belief, god created humans in his image. If he looks like "anyone I've ever seen" then he looks like everyone. Thus, god.If he "moves like crisco disco, breathes 100% listerine".. He doesn't have body ailments and he doesn't have bad breath, so he's perfect. and then the next part deals with the christian idea of sin. god fashioned all these rules in the bible based on things that people had done to piss him off long ago. "he says looking at something else" - god's making rules for a certain people "but directing everything to me" - but really, he wants everyone to follow it "any time anyone gets on their knees to pray, well it makes my telephone ring.." up until this part, this man follows a pretty good description of god. "you were right noones running this whole thing" this is where isaac is further enforcing his idea that the only heaven is crystal meth. "god takes care of himself and you of you" he can take care of his addiction then it breaks into the most obvious part, with the sporadic loud drumming like found in the beginning of the most obvious meth song, trucker's atlas. "it's all nice on ice alright" you're carefree on meth, as long as you're high. "it's not day and it ain't night" lost track of time |

| Modest Mouse – Truckers Atlas Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Haha, this is my favorite modest mouse song. I've tried to analyze it pretty well, but I guess here's my last shot. It's not a simple conclusion. It's an obvious one. This song is filled with symbolism. The main idea of this song is that Isaac is a trucker. He is riding around with, possibly, a friend. The thing is, truckers are notorious for being involved with speedy drugs. Isaac is most likely selling ice to other truckers along the way, or at stops that he needs to make. The beginning drumming is very sporadic and speedy, reminiscent of muscle spasms or jittering your legs. "..to unload my head" You do ice and you get the clearest, most sober head in the world. "sex on the rocks all warm and red" That imagery is pure bliss, euphoria, passion, heat. "and we bled" Most likely nosebleed "and the writing in the stalls said 'we write our maps in the stalls'" the 'we' who wrote on the stalls signifies either Isaac and his roadbuddies or truckers in general. This song has one main element, using a map as a surface for snorting. When you >draw< out a line of crystal meth, it can be thought of as "writing" on the map. Drivers are snorting meth in the stalls of truckstop/convenience store bathrooms to keep them awake. "I'm going to get off scot-fucking-free and we all did" Isaac made profit from selling ice of course. What better to do with the remaining product than use it for yourself and a road buddy? He's going to 'get off' on ice without having to pay. A good play on words makes this line seem like they're not getting into any trouble also. "The buzz from the bird on my dash road locomotive phone" This lyric breaks down, literally, into this: The buzz is the incessant calling he is getting from customers. The bird (slang for a kilo of tweak) is causing the dash phone to buzz (or ring). All the tweakers want their shit, so they constantly call him. They know he's got a kilo. He's carrying a shipment, hence the 'road locomotive' description. "I don't feel and it feels great I sold my atlas by the freight stairs" This is pretty literal. The atlas described here is his meth. "I do lines and I cross roads I crossed the lines of all the great state roads" He snorts and travels.. "You got yourself a trucker's atlas You knew you were all hot, well Maybe you'll go and blow a gasket .. beeline you might drive three days and three nights to the tip of Florida" The 'trucker's atlas', here, again, isn't meant to be taken as a literal atlas. It is some amount of meth that the subject bought off of Isaac. Whoever bought it is getting cocky, he thinks he can snort it easily. Isaac's shit is (apparently) good. 'Blow a gasket' and 'b-line...' refer to the insane tweak the customer is probably going to get after snorting. "Do you speak the lingo? Oh no, you don't know" Isaac is asking someone if they tweak. Oops, they don't. Nevermind. This song's highest point is the end. Notice one thing about this song and most of the other songs on LCW.. It's 11 minutes long. The ending is mainly instrumental and 6 minutes. This symbolizes the insane amount of time methamphetamine lasts. And to really, further potentiate the methamphetamine interpretation, look at many of the other songs on LCW. They could easily be shown to be about meth too. Convenient parking - distribution of rocks. Out of Gas - "You will come down soon, too." Long Distance Drunk - "Hang it up now or never" (addiction) Shit Luck - Not only is 'Shit' slang for meth, but this song symbolizes the downward spiral addiction brings. The title is almost an oxymoron, a very good play on words. and the most obvious of all "Styrofoam Boots/It's all nice on ICE alright" So tell me isaac's tweaking habits didn't influence this song or much less this (wonderful) album :) |

| Ugly Casanova – Ice On The Sheets Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song is about crystal methamphetamine. It references addiction -- "As soon as I can walk, I walk out the door and never stop" After slamming meth, it seems as so he falls on the floor "Ice on the sheets and I'm on the floor; i never stop" It also references the euphoric, energetic, and often restless feeling of the drug "A wholeness comes and you feel it, the phenomena. I can't die, I just keep growing old." I believe it also somewhat cryptically references the usual disgust a tweaker has for food. He says, "I'm with the girl, she said that she was hungry. We just got done swapping our IDs" While those two statements don't hold much correlation to each other, you could almost see it as Isaac having regret for asking a girl out on a date (swapping ids) when he finds that she's hungry (most people on meth could vomit at the thought of food). Last but not least, it references the expensive cost of the drug "Ice on the sheets, a week's worth of pay" |

someone could easily do coke or meth while driving a truck. in this song, it's obvious he's talking about meth. coke doesn't benefit truck drivers like meth would.. since he's talking about lines, he's snorting it.. not shooting, so he's not getting any major rush.. meth doesn't effect your perception too much at average doses.. truckers just snort, gradually feel good/clearheaded and end up having no want to eat or sleep for 24 hours. :p |

whoever posted these lyrics missed the best part of the song, the last line. Well, he said he said he said he said "Where we're going I'm dead." ^^ makes no fucking sense. are you stupid? "Well he said he said he said he said 'plan where you're going when you're not dead lived my life in a sea of pain i don't know what's right but i do what i can'" that sounds much better. thank you, and goodnight. |

Some parts of the song should be seen like this.. Look on the bright side of suicide: 1) Lost eyesight 2) I'm on your side (You lose eyesight when you die, and him committing suicide will fulfill the subject's wants (side)) He has an angel left wing, but the right wing is a broken wing (angel left wing, right wing: broken wing) the observer would never assume he was dead (lack of iron and/or sleeping) |

| Modest Mouse – Parting of the Sensory Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
There's no work in walking in to fuel the talk (you don't need to do anything for the talk to start, the 'talk' being life itself. you're just here, and you can't explain it) I would grab my shoes and then away I'd walk ('grab my shoes' is saying he's going to somewhat prepare for the 'walk', the 'walk' being life) Through all the stubborn beauty I start at the dawn ('stubborn beauty' is also analogous to life, as it is both hard (stubborn) yet awes us (beauty). the 'dawn' at which he starts at is birth, of course) Until the sun had fully stopped (the life he speaks of can be compared to an earth day. the sun never stops, even though it disappears sometimes. when the earth does stop spinning, i.e. the sun stops, his life ends.) Never walking away from (you never walk away from life, your decomposition will be consumed by other life and used, and so on..) Just a way to pull apart (pull apart could be seen as your conscious and body pulling apart at death if seen from a theist view, but from an atheist perspective it can be seen as just a way to get out of life [nonexistence]) Dehydrate back into minerals (self explanatory) A life long walk to the same exact spot (you start as nothing and you leave as nothing, and it takes all your life to do it) Carbon's anniversary (the span between your birth and death is the carbon's anniversary) The parting of the sensory (your five senses and conscious thought make up everything you do. part with it, and you no longer participate in reality) Old old mystery (forever, humans have tried to come up with an explanation for the mystery of life) The parting of the sensory (..) the next verse is almost ultimately seen in a theist's perspective: Who the hell made you the boss? (who made you 'god'?) We placed our chips in all the right spots But still lost (we did everything you wanted, but still didn't win) Any shithead who had ever walked Could take the ship and do a much finer job (even an idiot would know how to be a better god) This fit like clothes made out of wasps (the life that the god gave to him wasn't fit to what he needed. also, a little fact: some indigenous people use the paraponera insect in their adulthood rites by knocking them out with a natural chemical and woven into sleeves. the adolescent wears it while they come back to consciousness.) Aw, fuck it I guess I lost (no matter what he says, he's still going to die) |

another interpretation..maybe someone can add onto this or correct.. "I'm going to Colorado to unload my head" -- He's doing a line of crystal meth from one point to colorado to get shit off of his mind... I'm going to New York City and that's in New York,friends -- He's doing a line up to new york now I'm going to Arizona sex on the rocks all warm and red and we bled --From new york, he does another line to arizona and then has sex with his partner? Their noses bleed. I don't feel and it feels great -- He's numb and he's happy. I sold my atlas by the freight stairs --No idea. I do lines and I crossed roads I crossed the lines of all the great state roads -- He's snorted lines across all of the map, covering alot of road. I'm going up going over to Montana You got yourself a trucker's atlas You knew you were all hot, well Maybe you'll go and blow a gasket -- He's talking in general. You think you're so cool by snorting meth, hopefully you'll blow a gasket (overdose) Start at the northwest corner Go down through California beeline you might drive three days and three nights to the tip of Florida --He starts snorting in washington and goes all the way down through california. He does an even bigger one on this meth binge all the way to florida and ends up staying buzzed for a long time. Do you speak the lingo? Oh No. No no --Maybe just a `filler` lyric? How far does your road? Oh no, you don't know --in other words, "what's your tolerance?" ie. how big of a line can you do compared to the roads? |
|
| Modest Mouse – Truckers Atlas Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| He's doing lines of meth off the same map he uses to travel from place to place. He does a big line that stretches from california to florida, and coincidentally that line keeps him up for three days and three nights, just enough to drive that far. | |

This song is EXACTLY what you should expect from Kurt. I believe it's "Following far" instead of follow it far.. and "never finished a sentence remained in seclusion for the next few days the family circle knew how he had removed her of all the styles of heresy finally he appeared unexpectedly looking for company" and the only relation to misery loves company is by misery being "he" in the song.. but apparently grohl + noveselic + (sometimes courtney/channing) knew the name of this song. |

Whoever said Kurt raped a girl is a complete idiot. He found his life useless, so one day he went over to the house with a girl who had down's syndrome. She just didn't talk. He sat on her lap and said "let's fuck", she went back to her room and took off her clothes. He messed with her breasts and kissed, but he was so disgusted with the smell of her vagina and her sweat that he left in disgust. It got out in school and he was afraid he would have been called a "retard fucker" but he was pretty well known then so the sides were about even. Kurt never showed up for yearbook photos that year so she couldn't pick out his picture, but eventually she remembered is name or something, and told, but she was 18 and NOT retarded, so nothing could be done. I read it this morning. |

I've always seen this song as..maybe..from a teenager perspective. They want to be individual, ie: all the host/parasite/virus stuff. "look on; the bright side is suicide" any teen in depression won't be able to look ahead of the issue. they always think suicide is the way to go "lost eyesight; i'm on your side" they can't see what the things really mean, and the "parasite" (themselves) are telling them that it is worse. there is no help. "angel left wing, right wing, broken wing" i'm not sure about this one. maybe it's how every teen falls into a certain group.. not sure. "lack of iron and/or sleeping" depressed people sleep alot. maybe this was what this was about? |

I think this is about religion. How you always seem to pray and noone seems to answer. "Someone's calling but there's no one on the line" Praying to an unseen god, and not ever getting a response "father son and holy ghost, you cant find us in the dark" talking about religious figures not being able to retrieve someone once they've turned bad..thanks to the miscommunication "now as we pray, we are prey" becoming so naive as to expect your life to be saved once you pray "lead the way, forever is too long to wait" seems like forever before you get an answer, if any "time keeps pulling the seconds away, preaching abandonment.." losing hope that there is a god, because lack of contact "intentions remain to embrace the sweet impossible" but yet people still pray and glorify this unseen god, whom most others think is a fairy tale "time succumbs to the rhythm of a slowly fading pulse" time stops to the rhythm of a slowly fading pulse..basically you pray for so long, until you die almost, never receiving and answer.. "loose connections connected tight" quite paradoxial as it may seem, showing that no matter what other people say to the people who devote their lives to some religion, the people who live for the religion are still devoted, even though the others see it as a faulty and obviously loose belief the rest is pretty much filler lyrics, i guess. white old woman of the night really has no meaning in my meaning interpretation.. |
