Does anyone else think this is about the fallacy of ecology and cybernetics? I've listened to it for years and only just tried to make sense of it. I suppose it's about whatever you want it to be about really.....
Anyway whatever it's about I love this album. Such an original and consistently brilliant band. Love what Modest Mouse does to my mind and where it transports it. It's like music that induces astral projection without having to meditate.
I love how I can have a different favorite Modest Mouse song each week. This week it's Never Ending Math Equation. Last week it was Lives. What's next?
This is the first Modest Mouse CD I Purchased. My college room mate introduced me to Modest Mouse. This is a great band with deep meaningful lyrics. One of my favorites.
In one bit, about 2:29, he sings "Oh my God and oh my cat" and considering that the phrase "oh my God" recurs through the song, and since he says oh my cat immediately after saying oh my god, I figured he was equating the two, and it seemed like a reference to the cat named Lord in "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"
Man that's readnig into it pretty deep but...I suppose that could work. I've always heard "A Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" is good but I've never read it.
I know. You listen to Building Nothing out of Something and you're like, "These are songs that weren't good enough to make the proper albums?" And you are reminded about how insanely great this band is.
@Chang3the7World2012 yes, isnt that why they call music 'the soundtrack to your life" then again what do i konw, im a drunk...............(insert profound comment)
One of my favorite songs

On a plane, I can see the tiny lights below
And oh my God, they look so alone
Do they really feel anything?
Oh my God, I've gotta gotta gotta gotta move on
Where do you move when what you're moving from
Is yourself?
