Lives by Modest Mouse
This is one of my favorite Modest Mouse songs...which says a lot cause I love Modest Mouse. I find this song kind of hopeful. For me it says we're all in the same boat, "everyone's afraid of their own life". We're all struggling with ideas of death and making sure we make the most out of the short life that we have. At the same time what the hell do we want out of life. I don't know that, I'm still figuring it out and I am sure no matter what I think is the right and perfect option, I will later find flaws in it. I really think the song speaks for itself, the lyrics are after the jump, enjoy.
Everyone's afraid of their own life.
If you could be anything you want I bet you'd be disappointed.
am I right?
No one really knows the ones they love.
If you knew everything they thought I bet you'd wish that they'd just shut
up.
Well you were the dull sound of sharp math when you were alive.
Not ones gonna play the harp when you die.
And if I had a nickel for every damn dime I might have half the time.
do you mind?
Everyone's afraid of their own life.
If you could be anything you want I bet you'd be disappointed.
am I right?
It's hard to remember we're alive for the first time.
It's hard to remember we're alive for the last time.
It's hard to remember to live before you die.
It's hard to remember that our lives are such a short time.
It's hard to remember what it takes such a short time.
It's hard to remember to live before you die.
It's hard to remember.
My mom's god is a woman and my mom she is a witch.
I like this.
My hell comes from inside comes from inside myself.
Why fight this.
Everyone's afraid of their own life.
If you could be anything you want I bet you'd be disappointed.
am I right?
