Andrew Bird – Measuring Cups Lyrics 16 years ago
I think this song is about conformity in our society and, more specifically schools. It reminds me of mindless periods of just book work and taking standardized tests.
The song is stressing that so many people go through life without really even living because, starting from a young age, they've been molded into the cast of what a successful human being should be.
