| Modest Mouse – Gravity Rides Everything Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
|
I think this song can be summed up with one phrase: "Everything happens for a reason." Things decay and die, problems weigh you down ("gravity"), etc. but everyone has the same problems -- it's not exclusive to any one person. Hence, "gravity rides everything," -- everyone gets weighed down by problems. |

| Modest Mouse – Bukowski Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
|
Charles Bukowski is a famous author who wrote poetry and mostly autobiographical fiction and is notorious for being a down and out drunkard. His life was that of a dazed drifter who lived in the bottom of the barrell as far as societal standing went. I think this song illustrates the narrators descent into a similar lifestyle, pondering exactly why God is so controlling, bringing the image of God down a peg by asking why he'd want to be a "control freak," a very human trait. |
