Lyrics are about how the world began literally with the destruction of the Planet Maldek. The three planets are Mars, Maldek, and Earth. "Shake the eyes hand". Same eye that is on your dollar bill America. It is the eye of Ra, Lucifer, whatever works best for you. The angels reminding him of this are likely demons he has sold his soul to. Basically, he says the world is going to end with a cataclysm, just the way it began. Sounds nuts, but the truth gets more nuttier the longer I live
this song reminds me of my sister because once she ran outside nakid shivering looking blue and just to get ice. HAHA. but this is my fav song ever and my fav band!!!! my user name is after one of thair songs.
@Aliciakilburn I agree that it's about abortion but I don't think he's saying that abortion is good I think he's just simple stating that it's out there at the same time he's not saying it's bad
modest mouse is music to drink yourself to death too. isaac allways pisses me off by expressing my own thoughts so brilliantly, making me wish i'd written his songs. isaac, you speak for all of us disillusioned, hungry ghosts. rock on forever
modest mouse is music to drink yourself to death to. isaac brock voices my own emotions so accurately that it pisses me off that i didnt think of his brilliantly simple yet so meaningfull lyrics. mm forever, disillusioned and hungry ghosts unite!!!
for the record this is about abortion .... didnt know was it a son or was it a daughter.... ya you guys are diggin songs about killin unborn babies ..... for the record...
@AlysonL319 I don't have a "point". I wasn't even the one who posted the comment. That was my roommate, Donovan. If you have such a personal problem with the comment, then don't read it. Geez.
@AlysonL319 Well, once again, I wasn't the one who posted the comment. I couldn't tell you the "point". Though I imagine the point of saying a song is depressing is to imply that said song is depressing. Pretty deep huh?
I GOT A PICK FROM ISAAC BROCK! Incredible band, the best part I like about seeing them in concert is that no band member except drums has a set instrument.
I like how its like, if oyu go striaght enough you'll end up where you were. like in life you gotta change tihngs up or you wont get no where or something. I dont know.
@crazyforu295 exactly, i found modest mouse 1 year ago and by this time some people that ive told aboutit like it and some think its a band for old people. you and me are like band bros. a large fraction of the world does not like modest =mouse or they have not heard them.
This song is so simply, yet so beautiful. I don't know if it's his voice, her the melody that just makes me feel so trippy and happy, but I love it. This, and Ocean Breathes Satly are this band's best songs, bar: none.
Dis song is obviously about Earth's common belief in a God and heaven, regardless of religion, because a God and heaven or promised land are so common across many religions.
Yes, the he is a great drummer. One of the best Indie drummers ever.
And Isaac, well I wouldn't exactly call him a very good guitarist, but he does manage to make great songs with fairly easy techniques (discluding some songs, like Mechanical Birds, I'm pretty sure that's a very hard song to play lol). Love all the octave chords he plays.
this song makes me feel happy and sad at the same time. no one but Modest Mouse can do that. This song is amazing

ModestMouse1207 2 years ago
The drums are amazing in all of Sad Sappy Sucker. . .it's a great album.
Green is great at drumming. And Isaac is actually a very good guitar player. I saw a video here where he plays a part of Dramamine with his teeth~
As I've heard, not an easy task. :)
