| He don't remember, how it got there It had a number, written on his forearm It spelled disaster 'donnie darko?' ^That is genius. Even if it is wrong. Which it is. Probably. I was thinking like, the Holocaust or something, but I really doubt that is right. It doesn't fit into the song, and why would they include it anyway? | |

| i thought more people would have commented on this song. well, it is one of my favorites by modest mouse. people often compare them to built to spill or the pixies. though both are great bands, i just dont think they can compare. i feel modest mouse is on a completely different level of deliverance and style. and its just amazing. | |

| I like this song a lot too, it took me a lot of time to figure out what I think this song means, but really it wasnt the lyrics that finally communicated it but the music itself. I think its about the emptyness two people can find in each other. "He don't remember, how it got there It had a number, written on his forearm It spelled disaster"----- seems to me to be about a club kid, young, good looking, as much as i hate the term a "player". Hes got a girls number who he hardly knows, calls her up, they go out together, go to his car... "She sat, she sat in the backseat The car was plush but had no heat And no not no one was blushing Their technique was so damn right"---- nice car but no heat, a classic technique guys use. They have sex, empty, meaningless, solely on a physical level. Then the song slows down and it seems to communicate to me how empty the people feel afterwards and how empty their lives are. | |
