| About the 'My mom's god is a woman and my mom she is a witch', I think he's just litterally saying his mom is a Pagan or Wiccan. In most Pagan religions, the Goddess is celebrated moreso than the God. -=The Prynce | |

| its a pretty simple song and you can determine the lyrics pretty well through the tone of the song how its a bit slow and dark then gets enlightening and brighter. he knows what he's saying is a wake up call to people to remeber to live life. to not forget theres a purpose here far greater than society may have influenced. but the great thing about it is the fact that after he reaches the middle of the song, the brightened part he reminds you through the tone again that your life isnt that and you have forgotten. go back to your boring life. he leaves you thinking like "what the fuck am i doing with myself?" which i think shows he really does care about everyone as a whole wether he shows it or not. cause i know i do care abotu everyone on earth but at the same time pretty much dislike them all as well. it shows in other songs like "Life like weeds" the lyric "i wish i could have told you all that i love you". he's afraid. great song | |

| 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 God is a woman, my mom is a woman, therefore God is a witch, God makes hell, hell comes from his inside, therefore, god controls him Doesn't sound like he wants it though =\ | |

| y'all are new-age hippies!! ahahah...I guess I am too though...definitely an amazing song...Modest Mouse is the most lyrically sound band I've ever heard...but it's all just a bunch of modern-era hippie mumbo-jumbo | |

| I believe that this song is saying that you should not always try to understand all of the variables of life, and that you should be happy where you are. We create our own hell in our minds, and that you should "live each day as if it were your last". But, I am an idiot and probably wrong. | |
