Modest Mouse – Perfect Disguise Lyrics 13 years ago
Songs are meant to be interpreted for personal reasons. Any song can mean anything to anyone. To me, this song is about realizing that someone was using you all along, and they finally totally fucked you over, so you leave them behind. I think this because I relate to it, and it hapened to me.

"Need me to fall down so you can climb up
Some fool as a ladder, well good luck
I hope,
I hope there's something better up there."

She wanted more, so she cheated on me, then left me. Used me then moved on. Good luck; I hope there's something better up there.

Actually, the first time he says it, it's "No, BUT I know the score."
Otherwise, you're right.

The Gaslight Anthem – The '59 Sound Lyrics 13 years ago
I thought it was "Carry you 'away'" but maybe that's just me. Either way, I think I'm gonna hear Arcade Fire's "No Cars Go" when I die. Not quite a '59 sound, and really even a band I like a whole lot, but that song is so epic.

Right, because you're Winn Butler, and you wrote this song. :P

When I die, I think this will be the last song I hear as I leave my body, and go where No Cars Go.

Modest Mouse – Here It Comes Lyrics 13 years ago
"You always told me life's a dam that breaks
Here it comes
If you sit still or if you run
Here it comes
So now we're drowning in birthday cakes
Here it comes"

One day we'll realize that years and years have gone by, that we're old seemingly all of a sudden. Like a dam breaking, "drowning us in birthday cakes" (birthday cakes symbolizing getting older).
Here it comes.

Modest Mouse – Blame It on the Tetons Lyrics 13 years ago
Alot of MM lyrics connect to other MM lyrics. Most noticeably within the same album, but big concepts seem to have been there even since Sad Sappy Sucker. "Path of least resistance" is not only a song title on that album, but a lyric as far ahead as the song "Grey Ice Water," and probably later, but I can't think of any examples now.

"Blame it on the web, but the spider's your problem now" is right. "Tere would be no rationality in blaming the creation for the creator." - exactly. He's saying fuck the web, it's the spider that's your problem. That's my guess, anyway.

And it's "cuase she knows i woulda let it happen." Meaning, 'my dog won't kick your ass, even though she knows that if she did, I'd just sit back and watch her tear you apart. "I woulda let it happen."

Modest Mouse – Never Ending Math Equation Lyrics 13 years ago
Oh, and I'm pretty sure it's "and the plants and the animals, they are land"

I think so cause he says land earlier, as in you're either one of two things on earth: machines or land. Plants and animals are land, since the land goes on pretty much the same with just plants and animals. And we're not machines, we MAKE them. So I'm not sure where we stand, either.

I always thought it was:
-"On a plane, I can see 'a town of lights' below
and oh my god they look so alone
'Don't think they really feel anything'"

and:

"I sold myself what I need" instead of "told my dad"

Beck – Loser Lyrics 13 years ago
Obviously this is a very deep song about necrophelia. Just like T.S.O.L.'s "Code Blue."

When she does the high-pitched "ooh ooh" part, I about come down with a fap attack. It's way hot.

Modest Mouse – Alone Down There Lyrics 13 years ago
I've always thought it was about someone following someone else into hell or something. "The Devil's apprentice... fed me a line and I'll probly regret it; but I dont' want you to be alone down there..."
Just my two cents.
