What's your favorite Modest Mouse lyric?

>why are you judging people so damn hard
>you’re taking your point of views a bit too far

i had a drink the other day
opinions are like kittens i was giving them away

I get up just about noon
My head sends a message for me to reach for my shoes and then walk
Gotta go to work, gotta go to work, gotta have a job

WELL

TRAILER TRASH SINCE ITS MY SONG
I OWN THAT SONG
COPE OTHER FAGGOT THAT WANTS IT, ITS ALL MINE

>>126993307
Trailer trash is MY song

>>126993171 (OP)
I'M TRYIN'
I'M TRYIN'
TO DRINK AWAY
THE PART OF THE DAY
I CAN NOT SLEEP AWAY

WELL ILL GO TO COLLEGE AND ILL LEARN SOME BIG WORDS
AND ILL TALK REAL LOUD GODDAMN RIGHT ILL BE HEARD

>>126993327
HAHA NOOO YOU LOST
ALL MINE, IM GONNA PLAY MY SONG NOW
>HITS PLAY
YOU THATS THE GOOD STUFF, *MY* STUFF

>>126993171 (OP)
>Took a lot of work to be the ass that I am

>And I'm really damn sure that anyone can

>Equally, easily fuck you over

>Well, God said something, but he didn't mean it

>Everyone's life ends, but no one ever completes it

>Dry or wet ice, they both melt and you're equally cheated

And it's all the rotating eyes
And it's all on the same postcard
And it's all on the same damn shirt
Sound asleep in the same Sear's camp house
And it's all in the great state parks
And it's all on the same Greyhound
And it's all so many miles
Beneath the dirt, brown dirt
Frequent flyer miles to the island
With the biggest mall on Earth
And it's all the same rest stop
And it's all the same damn shirt
And it's all the same Greyhound

Edit the sad parts

>>126993171 (OP)
>One year, twenty years, forty years, fifty years down the road in your life You'll look in the mirror and say My parents are still alive

Both from songs featured on this comp (fucking amazing comp, one of the best compilation album ever):
>YOU GO OUT LIKE A RIPTIDE
>YOU KNOW A BALL HAS NO SIDES
>YOU'RE AN ANGEL WITH AN AMBER HALO
>BLACK HAIR AND AND THE DEVIL'S PITCHFORK
and
>She said this one mattered and I felt it had a spirit
>And I shot the stork 'cause I didn't hear it that way

>>126993171 (OP)
EVERYTHING THAT KEEPS ME TOGETHER IS FALLING APART

>>126995571
>I GOT THIS THING I CONSIDER MY ONLY ART OF FUCKIN PEOPLE OVER

>So lonely but never alone, I know
>I'm at my house ,but I wish that I were home

Never ending math equation is my song

And in the places you go, you'll see the place where you're from

And in the faces you meet, you'll see the place where you'll die

And on the day that you die, you'll see the people you've met

And in the faces you see, you'll see just who you have been

do you guys think isaac does drugs?

>And the stars are projectors yeah
I always start stimming when it gets to that part. Because it's true, if you think about it...

I had a drink today, oh boy

i liked the one where he went like i'm a mouse but i'm also modest ya dig what i'm saying

Laugh hard, it's a long ways to the bank

Can't do it, not even if sober.
Can't get that engine turned over.

I didn't go to work for a month
I didn't leave my bed for eight days straight
I haven′t hung out with anyone
If I did, I′d have nothing to say

I didn't feel angry or depressed
I didn't feel anything at all
I didn't want to go to bed
And I didn't want to stay awake

All their lyrics make me think, "Damn......."

we tore one down, and erected another there
the match of the century, access versus clean air

>>126993171 (OP)

> As life gets longer, awful feels softer and it feels pretty soft to me. And if it takes shit to make bliss, well I feel pretty blissfully. If life is not beautiful without the pain well I'd just rather never ever even see beauty again.

We are fixed right where we stand.

>>126993171 (OP)
I don’t listen to emo music

>>126993307
>>126993327
Based trailer trash enjoyers

Based thread in general

>>126993202
that's my favorite

MM is one of a few notable bands I saw live but I drank so much I had forgot till I got sober years later. Garbage was another.

>>126993171 (OP)
>we kiss on the mouth
>BUT STILL COUGH DOWN OUR SLEEVES

So many of my favorites have been posted, and I could never choose just one.
>There's one thing to know about this earth
>We're put here just to make more dirt and that's okay

>I claim I'm not excited with my life anymore, so I blame this town, this job, these friends, the truth is it's myself

>I've changed my mind so much I can't even trust it
>My mind changed me so much I can't even trust myself

>>127004438
yeah these fuck me up the most, fucking great song

>>126993219
this is 100% the one i think about the most

Gotta go to work, gotta go to work, gotta have a joooob

>>126993171 (OP)
Oh, too many but here are some off the top of my head
>I didn't move to the city, the city moved to me and I want out desperately
>You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death?
>And on the day that you die, you'll see the people you've met, and in the faces you see, you'll see just who you've been
>The malls are soon-to-be ghost towns, well so long, farewell, goodbye

"Every kind-hearted banker
I DON'T THINK THERE IS ONE"

"Every winning opinion
I WISH I HAD ONE"

i need more recs for bands similar to modest mouse

>>127005832
IMO they exist in a league of their own but some similar acts:
Built To Spill
Pinback

>>127005869
oh definitely haha
i love built to spill :D i'll go listen to pinback, thanks!

>>127005832
Listen to jawbreaker if you like the more post-hardcore aspects of modest mouse

>>127005832
nowhere near as good, but "mind is not brain" by mock orange always reminded me of modest mouse and built to spill in a way
