    Lyrics:
    We greased all the ropes
    We'll throw you a line
    We're gonna break these boulders
    We're gonna pull things out
    We greased all the ropes
    We'll throw you a line
    We're gonna break these boulders
    We're gonna travel time

    I love how Isaac Brock is able to put peculiarly deep concepts into such an accessible vehicle of extremely enjoyable tunes. The video helps to interpret the lyrics and idea of the song, absolutely loved it. Thank you Modest Mouse! You really do need more recognition for your lyrical ability. He's genius.

    [Verse 1]
    Open up a window
    All the air, oh, the air is falling out
    Eyes vacuum up light
    Sound gets trapped by the mouth
    We'll deal with the remainder
    When the dents, the dents get hammered out
    Then we'll travel through time
    The world's an inventor
    With its work crawling, running, squirming 'round
    Trees drop colorful fruits
    Directly into our mouths
    The world's an inventor
    We're the dirtiest thing it's thought about
    And we really don't mind
    We're gonna throw a party
    All the ghosts of trees are coming out
    Don't move in any direction
    Wait until the light's inside of the cloud
    You're gonna wanna see this
    Don't bring your camera around
    Watch sun and sawdust align
    [Chorus]
    We greased all the ropes
    We'll throw you a line
    We're gonna break these boulders
    We're gonna pull things out
    [Verse 2]
    We'll probably never get there
    Bring your sight seers school teachers down
    It's a watercolor weekend
    All the trees are turning colors now
    We'll probably never get there
    Bring your candy taster, time wasters around
    And we'll mess with their minds
    The world composes
    With his shirttails wrinkled, hanging out
    Bang us together
    See what sort of sounds we make right now
    The world plays music
    Playing skin on teeth inside of the mouth
    What sort of sounds?
    What lovely sounds come about?
    [Chorus]
    We greased all the ropes
    We'll throw you a line
    We're gonna break these boulders
    We're gonna pull things out
    We greased all the ropes
    We'll throw you a line
    We're gonna break these boulders
    We're gonna travel time
    [Verse 3]
    Close up a window
    All the air, all the air is falling out
    Eyes vacuum up light
    Sound gets trapped by the mouth
    Our predecessor left this box
    And something's clawing around
    I think it really wants out
    [Chorus]
    We greased all the ropes
    We'll throw you a line
    We're gonna break these boulders
    We're gonna pull things out
    We greased all the ropes
    We'll throw you a line
    We're gonna break these boulders
    We're gonna travel time

      Just listening to the words that spill out of Isaac Brock bring me chills. Phrases like "you wasted life why wouldn't you waste death" to "happfuckingcongratulations" "shaved off my eyebrows and they fall to the ground so can't look surprised right now" "my thoughts are so loud i couldn't hear my mouth".... the list of thought provoking lyrics is endless. This song is so full of interesting ideas.

  • @McNuggins

    I have an amazing story. One day I was driving home, when all of a sudden the Lord came to me in spirit. I felt very close to Him. I knew if I asked him to play any song on the radio he would, I guess to bless my faith.
    So I said "ok, Lord play "Come as you are by Nirvana".
    I turned on the radio and the song started playing right there on the spot, perfectly…
    I started getting flooded with chills like a waterfall, crying, and trembling.
    He stayed with me for 10 minutes in my driveway. until I got outta the car.
    A couple months after that I started getting amazing prayers answered way more often, because it helped me quit doubting when I pray and I was lined up with biblical instructions. It's 6 years later and I still get answered prayers in Jesus name.

    Stop reading this, go find the album version of this song. You don't need to watch the music video, you need to hear the breakdown, the whole 6-7 minute song. There's an entire half a song missing here. Bad job Sony.

    • @henrythegreatamerican8136
      @henrythegreatamerican8136 9 лет назад +22

      +sixstringedwithabowl Yep, and the longer version is way better. The intro and the ending were the best part of this song. No clue why they cut them out here.
      Could you imagine how lame the Guns N Roses song NOVEMBER RAIN would sound if they cut out the intro?

      Probably makes sense for a music video, I mean can't imagine what they would have filled those missing minutes with. This seems pretty extravagant and expensive for them already, haha. The intro and outro are really cool though, you're right.

    This video was kind of weird. Some people are comparing this music video to "Game of Thrones" TV series. I wouldn't know because I've never watched that show. Anyways, I wouldn't expect anything less from Modest Mouse when it comes to unique, different, and weird music videos. They are creative in their own way. I've listened to Modest Mouse's music for a long time. One of my ex-boyfriends was a bigtime fan of Modest Mouse. I actually like this song. It's very catchy and memorable. I'm glad Modest Mouse are still recording and sharing music.

    35 years old, was introduced to MM as a Jr. in highschool. Last year had the oppertunity to finally go see them live. Started catching up on recent music by them, and watching some videos. After watching a few and ending on this one I ended up not going to the concert for fear of ending up running around in the streets high on Acid with my pants on my head. It would have been a natural progression and I'm just too old for that anymore.

    I just noticed, and I love how most, if not, all Modest Mouse music videos revolve around a central theme, as if they all exist within the same universe. I'm in the early stages of theorizing a Modest Mouse Mythos. . . and that's what they'll call the movie.

      Jeff Gordon Night on the Sun is one of my favorites. *Talking Shit About a Pretty Sunset*, *Edit the Sad Parts* and *Teeth Like God's Shoeshine* are all fantastic songs also and their best work IMO. As for their more recent songs I strangely find myself digging *King Rat* and the *Whale Song*. *Never Ending Math Equation* is also a fun song. There are far to many to list tbh :)

      drummer4916 Geez this is pretty tough, but I'm guessing mines are The View, Florida, Ansel, The ground walks with time in a box, King Rat, Head South, Doin' the cockroach, We've got everything... And I can keep on going but these are some of my favorite ones.

    What I seem to see here is something like this. (After everyone is long gone and the worlds resources are long gone from fighting and killing over the worlds resources, all that is left are the "kings" to lead their imaginary world of judgement and condemnation of all. When the tree is seen, it starts all over again until the human species kills its self off and the world is left in ruines. The pride of the fools that lead us. We in turn are fools for doing nothing to stop it.) Dunno, seems what I take from this video. I enjoyed it as much as looking at art. Very cool.

    I'm bored at work so here goes my take.
    The central theme is madness and corruption, focusing on a mad king who rules over a land that he has destroyed. He doesn't care that everything is dead, as long as he is in control. Something live begins to grow, and it sends him off the rails. He scrambles to vanquish the enemy that is freedom and in his madness, carves out the eyes of onlookers.
    "Our predecessor left this box
    And something's clawing around
    I think it really wants out"
    Doesn't seem too unlike our the current political situation, and history repeats itself.
