You Wasted Life, Why Wouldn't You Waste the Afterlife

Just got bak fro Cameroon whichw as fun overall had good times and giving props to all those that made it a fun weekend. =)

Anywayz, have been enduging myself in classic Modest Mouse which is really my favorite Indie band. This song 'Ocean Breathes Salty' really a strong song with powerful messeges about life, death, religion and possibly a lvoed one. Theres symbolism everywhere you look so quick! go downlaod it!

Your body may be gone, I’m gonna carry you in.
In my head, in my heart, in my soul.
And maybe we’ll get lucky and we’ll both live again.
Well I don’t know. I don’t know.
I don’t know. Don’t think so.
Well that is that and this is this.
You tell me what you want and I’ll tell you what you get.
You get away from me. You get away form me.
Collected my belongings and I left the jail.
Well thanks for the time, I needed to think a spell.
I don’t think a while. I had to think a while.
The ocean breathes salty, wont you carry it in?
In you head, in your mouth, in your soul.
And maybe we’ll get lucky and we’ll both grow old.
Well I don’t know. I don’t know.
I don’t know. I hope so.
Well that is that and this is this.
You tell me what you want and I’ll tell you want you get.
You get away from me. You get away from me.
Collected my belongings and I left the jail.
Well thanks for the time, I needed to think a spell.
I had to think awhile. I had to think awhile.
Well that is this and this is this.
Will you tell me what you saw
and I’ll tell you what you missed,
when the ocean met the sky
You missed when time and life shook hands and said goodbye.
[You missed] When the earth folded in on itself.
[You missed] And said “Good luck,
for your sake I hope heaven and hell
[You missed] are really there, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.”
[You missed] You wasted life, why wouldn’t you waste death?
[You missed] You wasted life, when wouldn’t you waste death?
The ocean breathes salty, wont you carry it in?
In your head, in your mouth, in your soul.
The more we move ahead the more we’re stuck in rewind.
We’ll I don’t mind. I don’t mind. How the hell could I mind?
Well that is that and this is this.
You tell me what you want and I’ll tell you what you get.
You get away from me. You get away from me.
Well that is that and this is this.
Will you tell me what you saw
and I’ll tell you what you missed,
when the ocean met the sky.
You wasted life, why wouldn’t you waste the afterlife?
