Oh, gotta see, gotta know right now
What's that riding on your everything
It isn't anything at all
Oh, gotta see, gotta know right now
What's that writing on your shelf
In the bathrooms and the bad motels
No one really cared for it at all
Not the gravity plan
Early, early in the morning
It pulls all on down my sore feet
I want to go back to sleep
In the motions and the things that you say
It all will fall, fall right into place
As fruit drops, flesh it sags
Everything will fall right into place
When we die some sink and some lay
But at least I don't see you float away
And on split milk, sex and weight
It all will fall, fall right into place
Oh, gotta see, gotta know right now
What's that writing on your everything
It isn't anything at all
Early, early in the morning
It pulls all on down my sore feet
I want to go back to sleep
In the motions and the things that you say
It all will fall, fall right into place
As fruit drops, flesh it sags
Everything will fall right into place
When we die some sink and some lay
But at least I don't see you float away
What's that riding on your everything
It isn't anything at all
Oh, gotta see, gotta know right now
What's that writing on your shelf
In the bathrooms and the bad motels
No one really cared for it at all
Not the gravity plan
Early, early in the morning
It pulls all on down my sore feet
I want to go back to sleep
In the motions and the things that you say
It all will fall, fall right into place
As fruit drops, flesh it sags
Everything will fall right into place
When we die some sink and some lay
But at least I don't see you float away
And on split milk, sex and weight
It all will fall, fall right into place
Oh, gotta see, gotta know right now
What's that writing on your everything
It isn't anything at all
Early, early in the morning
It pulls all on down my sore feet
I want to go back to sleep
In the motions and the things that you say
It all will fall, fall right into place
As fruit drops, flesh it sags
Everything will fall right into place
When we die some sink and some lay
But at least I don't see you float away

gravity is a metaphor for fate. and in the end everything will fall in to place. and you cant escape that and everything you do in life will all come together in the end.. and some people gotta see gotta know right now what there fate is.. etc. get it?
Isaac doesn't believe in fate.
Yeah. Isaac has never been one for anything that isn't very concreye. I tend to agree with him. What the hell is fate anyway? Just makes certain things happen and we can't explain why it's there . . . Like gravity. That would work if fate existed. But wait, fate just makes things go in certain directions so everything will fall into place. (whoa. I swear i just said that not even thinking about the lyrics) but gravity is consistent. It makes things go toward the center of the earth, always, eternally. So gravity isn't that much like fate. If fate existed, and it made everything go toward the center of the earth like gravity, we'd be crushed. Interesting analogy, my friend. But doesn't work. I give you a T for trying.
Modestmouse1115, I will have to disagree with you. I am no fan of fate myself, nor do I propagate its existence. With that said, I believe you failed to grasp the figurative meaning of gravity. Even narrowing it down as you did to 'pulling things towards the center of the earth eternally', which is not a very good definition of gravity (very heliocentric), you can still understand its relationship with fate. Gravity is inevitable, we have no choice in its existence and its effect on us. Similarly, if one believed in fate they most likely would feel the same way towards it.
I think this song is about the troubles that wiegh on people shoulders... And things will work themselves out? Yeah... hmm
I probably sound cocky, but to me the song definitely means, Gravity makes up the world, everybody wants to know the meaning of everything, but we dont have to know..<br /> <br /> Whether we die or not... everything will fall right into place.<br /> <br /> "as fruit drops flesh it sags"<br /> <br /> "And all the spilt milk, sex and weight<br /> It all will fall, fall right into place".<br /> (Problems seem miniscule in the light of day, people get scarred , emotionally)<br /> <br /> "In the motions and the things that you say"<br /> (maybe reffering to loved one)(but on a larger scale dont be so hard on yourself.its probably deeper than that.)<br /> <br /> the first 8 lines seem like they refer to certain people that are under-apreciated<br /> <br /> "Early, early in the morning<br /> It pulls all on down my sore feet<br /> I want to go back to sleep"<br /> (un-recognized depression, like me.<br /> <br /> ?????????????<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
i like this song :)
stupid gravity it holds me down
A suprisingly upbeat, graceful song for Modest Mouse. Perhaps about how those special people in your life can make the world finally make sense to you.
gravity
early morning musings
i can't believe this song ended up in a miller genuine draft commercial...
@obiwanmp why its totally alright for them to want to sell a song, they have bills and families, even 13 years later It would be sweet to hear something from interstate 8 in a commercial. even if it was a shampoo commercial.<br /> <3 mouse
claps lets hear it for modest mouse! great song.
I think this is one of the most literal Mouse songs. But it's about an intangible element, gravity, so a lot of people are reading into it with the concepts of fate (which of course is part of the beauty of art, that each person interprets it differently). To me it's simply a commentary on the absurdity of gravity itself. We can't physically see gravity, yet it's what makes our lives as we know them possible.
@DirigiblePlum wooooo !
