Like a step back in the theory of evolution. It says something about having a tail when we came out of the sea and the tail falling off, but we still went back to the sea.
@SylvanaForrester the laughter actually breaks my heart. after reading alot about isaac brock i can only conclude this song is about his mother leaving him in a flooded house when he was a kid. theres alot of pain in the screaming laughter there
Just like the other We Were Dead videos, the sound quality is (for some weird reason) much, much better in 360p! Thumbs up so everyone can see and enjoy :D
NEVER MIND THE VIDEO ITS THE SONG111 A MASTERPIECE ALL AROUND AS UNIQUE AND CREATIVE AS ANYTHING EVER IN THE ANNALS OF MUSIC. THE MARVELOUS AUDACITY OF ANYONE TO SING AND EMOTE IN SUCH A WAY IS INSPIRING, AND ALL THE MORE SHEERLY BEAUTIFUL BECAUSE OF NOT ONLY HIS PASSION, BUT THE ULTIMATE POIGNANCY WITHIN IT AND THE ESSENCE OF THE SONG.
@Aepotheosis I'm hoping the guy was being sarcastic, referencing those stupid chain comments that go around insulting anyone who dares dislike a video.
@RaCiKiNg97 yeah i tried doing lyrics when i started putting songs on youtube but they take a while to make if the lyrics are in video. But maybe I could start putting them in the descriptions...
This song would make Jim Morrison proud!

As always, the metaphors in his songs are a vital part of understanding. Never take something for face value when kisses ing to Modest Mouse.

I think it's more about how we seem to have taken a step back to being less a human and more savage.

This song seems to me to be about the implausibilities of evolution.
Strange, because there are a lot of MM songs about the implausibilities of creationism

Just got through a week of listening to nothing but "The Moon and Antarctica." I think I might do this album next.

@7he7ubes We Were Dead is a great album, but asking any MM album to measure up to Moon & Antarctica is a tall order.

One of my favorites by them, despite how different it sounds from the others I like ("Mechanical Birds," "Trailer Trash," "The World at Large").

I'm intrigued by the use laughter as a means to confront or even offend.

When I had a copy of this CD in my car i always skipped this song to get to dashboard and fire it up. I know, huge mistake.
I just listened to it closely for the first time and I'm now convinced that this is the best CD from start to finish ever created.
