| Thank you for mentioning that first part. I'm sick of how people completely bash other's people's ideas and say they are 'wrong'. Perhaps they might not be getting the same message that the artist was trying to portray, but I agree with you. Art is great because it can be interpreted so many different ways. | |

This song has some of my favorite lyrics in it. "My boss just quit the job Says he's going out to find blind spots and he'll do it The third planet is sure that they're being watched By an eye in the sky that can't be stopped When you get to the promised land You're going to shake that eye's hand" Like people have been saying, I think that Brock's boss quit the job to go off and find 'blind spots' (where he can sin without "the eye" seeing) from the eye in the sky. The eye in the sky represents God. True, he does describe the bible as a "crock of bullshit". But he also says that it's too interesting of a subject to pass up. He writes about religion a lot. It says "The third planet is sure that they're being watched By an eye in the sky that can't be stopped" The third planet = earth. Earth is sure they are being watched by a God. "Well, a third had just been made and we were swimming in the water Didn't know then, was it a son, was it a daughter When it occurred to me that the animals are swimming Around in the water in the oceans in our bodies And another had been found, another ocean on the planet Given that our blood is just like the Atlantic And how" I love this part. There are many worlds inside the universe. Just as the earth is in the universe, there is a microcosm inside each of us. All in all, I think this song covers the concept of evolution, (also a recurring theme on the whole album). Our existence is important, just as any other existence, because it all fits together in one giant flow. Just as each cell working together in our bodies is important to us, we are important to the operation of the universe overall. We are a cell in the universe. |

True, he does describe the bible that way. But he also says that it's too interesting of a subject to pass up. He writes about religion a lot. And the 'eye in the sky' could very easily be representing 'God'. It says "The third planet is sure that they're being watched By an eye in the sky that can't be stopped" The third planet = earth. Earth is sure they are being watched by God. That does not say he believes in God, or the bible, it's saying that earth believes it. |

| Modest Mouse – Bury Me with It Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I get where you are coming from, but I think the opposite is true... Like, he wants to be buried with it because he wants to remember... He doesn't want to live without what he's singing about... "Free Time" "Suit" "Party" | |

| He does. What the hell does geometry have to do with anything? It's talking about "traveling" in some way, weather it's metaphorical or not. "Geography" makes a lot more sense. | |
| Modest Mouse – Dramamine Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| He says 'geography' not 'geometry'... It's "traveling, swallowing dramamine", I don't see how geometry would fit in with traveling. | |
