MODEST MOUSE ✴ PARTING OF THE SENSORY ✴ KARAOKE INSTRUMENTAL ✴ PMK
To me this song is about the "Circle of Life" but instead of it being positive, Isaac views it as being an ultimately fatalistic concept...
"There's no work in walking in to fuel the talk
I would grab my shoes and then away I'd walk
Through all the stubborn beauty I start at the dawn
Until the sun had fully stopped
Never walking away from
Just a way to pull apart
Dehydrate back into minerals
A life long walk to the same exact spot"
The "stubborn beauty" could be life. (Life is often regarded as beautiful but in this case it is "stubborn" because it never completely ends). Dehydrate into minerals doesn't seem to be metaphoric at all. A life long walk into the same exact spot again could mean we are destined, or doomed, to end up in the same spot we began. Non-existence perhaps?
The parting of the sensory
Carbon's anniversary
Just part it again if you please
Carbon's anniversary
The parting of the sensory, I think, refers to the parting of our senses when we die. This would in turn be Carbon's anniversary, since we are carbon based life forms, and our material bodies would "return" to the earth. (Does that make sense?) The old old mystery could refer to the old mystery of the concept of eternal life, the circle of life, etc.
"Who the hell made you the boss
If you say what to do I know what not to stop
If you were the ship then who would ever get on
The weather changed it for the worse
And came down on us like it had been rehearsed
And like we hope, but change will surely come
And be awful for most but really good for some
I took a trip to the exact same spot
We pulled the trigger, but we forgot to cock
And every single shot"
Boss could be referring to a higher power which came up with this concept of "the circle of life" or life itself. Isaac shows his dissatisfaction with the concept by saying "Who the hell made you the boss? We placed our chips in all the right spots, but still lost. Any shithead who had ever walked Could take the ship and do a much finer job. This fit like clothes made out of wasps." Isaac concludes by saying "fuck it I guess I lost" accepting this concept he dislikes...
The beginning of the next part also starts out the same way and continues to show how life's changes are occurring, but fatalistic, and bad for most, and however hard you try to prevent them, it is futile. "And like we hope, but change will surely come. And be awful for most but really good for some. I took a trip to the exact same spot. We pulled the trigger, but we forgot to cock. And every single shot
Aw, fuck it I guess we lost."
"Some day you will die and
Somehow something’s going to steal your carbon."
Again showing the negative effects of the circle of life.
Just what the song means to me, it may be way off.
