Modest Mouse - Breakthrough Lyrics

The song that made me an Engineer

so raw, so good

i think in the beginning he is saying 1 2 3 4 5 sick sick sick. i could be wrong

I got 1 2 3 4 5 6 6 6ick

i love you

This album has it's own atmosphere

And because of that, it is truly a masterpiece.

Oh no way in hell.

I got one, two, three, four
Five, six, sick, sick
Running 'round the neighborhood
Perjorative, "Jinx" I said
The groom is down on me 'cause he ate the rice
It was well-intentioned but bad advice
Hell yeah, yeah, yeah

Let it break through!
Oh, let it break through!
Oh, let it break through
Oh yeah

Open your curtain
And let in some sky
It's almost half-past two and
You can tell by the light, oh yeah
Open your window
And let in the atmosphere, oh yeah

love the bass in this song

[Verse]
I got one, two, three, four, five
Six, sick, sick
Runnin' 'round the neighborhood
Perjorative "Jinx"
I said the groom is down on me 'cause he ate the rice
It was well-intentioned but bad advice
Hell yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
He's "Yeah, yeah, yeah"

[Chorus ×3]
Let it break through!
Oh, let it break through!
Oh, let it break through!
Oh, yeah

[Verse 2]
Open your curtain
And let in some sky
It's almost half-past two and
You can tell by the light
Open your window
And let in some atmosphere
Oh, yeah

[Chorus ×3]

[Verse 2]

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
I was inverted
I mean, converted
I mean, I don't understand

witnessed them perform this live last night and I tell you they just fucking killed it

Allow for a penetration of the undermined wall

for so long i had no idea what issac was saying

I get why everyone's talking about the Pixies, but does anyone else hear the Meat Puppets influence in this album?

Where is my mind....

Severely underrated Modest Mouse song.

reminds me of my trip :D

smoke that dank couscous every day

he sounds like Cartman

during the chorus

thank you for ruining this song for me lmao

Harry Dykhoff
haha yes xD

I wish Pixies would cover this.

I just saw them on Saturday and I'm still freaking out that they closed out with this song. Never thought i'd hear it live.

lucky -_-

probably my favourite on the album...though a favourite on this album is quite hard to choose.

kyle Dyson probably have! i listen to soo much music and i comment on like everything haha

kyle Dyson well thank ya (-:

I loved this song before I even knew what DMT was. This is probably the most perfect followup to Dramamine possible.

what's dmt?

Harry Dykhoff
a drug its near to lsd but little stronger and more strange

@Nuka Sandgreen its a specific chemical actually thats produced almost like dopamine naturally in the brain, to call it a drug is far fetched although modern society likes to label things. Dont fear what you dont know

OMG LOVE ITTTTTT

just got out of jail. this song helped me break through

Victor Winter I feel you bro. 1 year in the joint. One of the first songs I listen to the day I got out

I think you just made a fuckin great pun without realizing it hahaha

Dziękuję Ci za tą muzykę! Cieszę się że ktoś z PL lubi to samo co ja...

I fucking LOVE this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The best feeling driving down the highway blasting this loud with the windows open man! its always a good feeling listening to this song. THIS SONG IS FUCKING GREAT

I feel that

If I see another Pixies comment I am gonna throw my TV out the window.

ap2pat your tv?

grace matherne hes just a wannabe purist hipster lunch bag

Actually ive heard the pixies were a huge influnece on Isaac Brock..

@Zach Bryant I think his TV is long gone by now. lol

this song sounds like the pixies. Sorry. It just does.

THE POTATO FROM VEGGIE TALES

+Daniel Pooser yo i just came to this video and found out i liked this comment and i have no idea what it means now but apparently i did at the time

8 people have tiny dicks

Anthony Hunt
17

Anthony Hunt those 8 people are troglodytes

all i can say is...
pixies.

Never mind, got it.

+grace matherne The Pixies and Modest Mouse remind me of each other a lot. No one ever agrees with me but they are just to proud to say such things about MM

grace matherne mm is obviously influenced by the pixies

Isaac Brock occasionally does a dead-on Frank Black, but I don't think Frank Black could ever pull off an Isaac Brock (especially when it comes to songwriting)

I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking that.

Ive been listening to modesy mouse since before time. I win

I hate people

jif perri its hard work just trying not to be a misanthrope

That small 26 second intro is so damn good. I could listen to it over and over.

Wow, there is 7 really dumb people with no style in this world.

you guys need more of the heroic, Good character alignment, whats with all this questionableness... indie rock mystic, dude we are not just lazy pretentious people, some of us really care are conscious and want to put creative and good thoughts into the world and plant huge forests of trees and sit around singing songs and smoking pot - heart chakra awakening - modest mouse for nonviolence

no it doesn't, it wants world peace

RADIO U EN FORCE !

Realized I was listening to this at half past 2am with my windows open and a breeze coming in.

this song makes me want to beat your wife too

im Colin continue convo

The first 4 minutes and 7 seconds are great.

the first 26 sec are great

You mean 4:09 ?

Second thought....I wanna beat he shit out of the next girl I meet....

This song makes me want to......Think outside the box and carve the fucker up with a carpet knife.......

I think I just had a psychological breakthrough while listening to this.

@andrewdaben .can't argue with that, ever

i detest the positive outlook on life i get when i'm not listening to modest mouses constantly;
i need it to help me remember how fucking horrific everything can truly be
so much beauty in dirt? fffahaha how fucking drugged up on dopamines did isaac have to be to think that even for a second

There's 3 law isis(the queen of heaven) had gave to this earthly realm and they were
Divine is everything.
See beauty in all things.
Love everyone/thing no more than the next.

im johnny cool pants by the way.

he is a fuck and ur billy bad ass.

Another Indie band. They're good, but sound very different from Modest Mouse. The lead singer and front man of The Shins even sang backup on three tracks on We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank.

Or Caring is Creepy...

thought it was the pixies

I was perverted..i mean converted i mean..I..I don't understand...

true story bro :)

he was obviously joking, but i have to agree with you

17 years of age Drinking 40's Jamming this album..lol

Haha. I do not get why but okay?

Its a bar reference were as in america most bars close at 2:30 a.m. and thats when they turn on the lights

When I drink and I always need music to be loud and as I search through youtube only modest mouse makes my headphones blast my ear drums out. not to mention modest mouse is my favorite goddamn band

great song to poop to :)

Why when I search up this song does it come up with The Shins??? Who are they?!

This reminds me of being a neurotic and polarizing asshole who wants desperately to find a way out of uncomfortable social situations.

still awesome !

This reminds me of sneaking out of my house when i was a kid.

This song makes me wish I was 16 again. I would run around at night listening to this, feeling invincible. This w/ M&A is their best work.

This song makes me want to beat my wife.

silly itunes, breakthrough isn't an album!

@Thedevllink In comparison, you have to admit this is much better, but i still really like the other albums

ART-the quality, production of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance. Modest mouse is the greatest art form there has ever been, and ever will be. how many people can listen to them and NOT be moved? not many

@kfrolf09 I want to bake with you. X)

@southtahoetreez HAHAHAHHA

@zeratti the last 3 albums really have sucked in comparison

@zeratti have you listened the whale song or king rat at least? i wonder...

@zeratti What do you mean? The last 3 albums from them have sucked imo.

@JonnoThomas lol yeah whale song suck hahaha poser

Oh yeah, back when these guys were good.

@CrazyGameCollector lol that's exactly what my friend said when he heard Modest Mouse for the first time.

@CrazyGameCollector Duh its not just listen to issac's voice

@kfrolf09 best comment on youtubee

So bad ass!

@kfrolf09 Funny. I used to bake to this song as well but I've been listening to it as a way to beat urges to smoke.

so much energy in this song

@kfrolf09 WOO I FUCKING LOVE YU FOR THIS COMMENT

i watched the intro to the first season of pokemon while listening to this song....
I'll never be the same

@MULESLAX FAIL! c:

@southtahoetreez Friend of Bill W?

@311fuel hell yeah they are

@GeneralWiltshire Um, okay. Guess I'm stupid, and "your" not, heh.

open your window, and let in the atmosphere

@gtfonow1 It's definitely not crap, but yea I agree this isn't anywhere near they're best

the only song I really love by this band. think they like the pixies or something? Hah.

take that 50 cent

@gtfonow1 Far from.

@M0destCasanova I FEEL YA

I Used to listen to this song every morning when i was waiting for the bus to go to highschool.. xD

Not the same tour dip shit
