| Modest Mouse – 3rd Planet Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I am, at this very moment, convinced that this song is about and accidental pregnancy and the following abortion. Well, outside naked, shivering, looking blue From the cold sunlight that's reflected off the moon (Skinny dipping) Baby cum angels fly around you ("baby cum" almost too specifically referring to the actual sperm.) Reminding you we used to be three and not just two (referring to the said potential baby no longer existing.) And that's how the world began And that's how the world will end 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 (The moment the child was conceived.) 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 think this is the boy trying to figure out how he feels about that loss and importance of the new life) "Everything that keeps me together is falling apart I've got this thing that I consider my only art of fucking people over." (I feel like he is just confused about how to interpret this life decision. When your beliefs are put to test by actual experience it becomes hard to stick to what you so strongly once believed in.) |
