Modest Mouse - Paper Thin Walls Lyrics

This song is, to me, is about narcissism and someone's need to be the good one or the one in the right... To ease their guilt xxx

Couldn't make it to the bank

I have some great moves and slapstick gestures I punctuate every part of this song to. 🤘

I used to live in a tailor and once while I was drunkenly rocking out to this song, with my mother screaming in the next room to "turn it out down", I proceeded to punch through the wall wide enough to whisper "no thank you" through, and then resumed said rocking out..

STEFAN JANOSKI

everyone's a voyeurist

i cant be blamed for nothing anymore..

love love love this song

Great song, great lyrics...honestly it sounds like a jail song. No privacy, loud bunkmates, shakedowns, waiting for that visit that never comes...taxing the tax payers to "keep em locked up you fool!" Love this band!!

"Everyone's a voyeurist, they're watching me watch them watch me right now": this is astonishingly, if inadvertently, prescient. These guys anticipated the rise of social media and the age of mass voyeurism it ushered in.

Most of the lyrics are prophetic indeed! Once you understand that most people are shitty, all you have to do is expound upon what shitty entails, and you'll be right!

Isaac Brock and Dave Grohl both like anything rhyming with "-ound"

Wesley Lagunsad how do you feel? "Like gettin a beer"

what does "laugh hard, it is a long way to the bank " mean ? here the bank means the bank that deposits money or river bank ?

+zheng yu It's in reference to a phrase 'laughing all the way to the bank'.

"if someone is laughing all the way to the bank, they have made a lot of money very easily, often because someone else has been stupid"

+seymour47 it could also very easily be a reference to the they might be giants song "rhythm section want ad"

+conan1412 It could mean a riverbank too.

It could, but it doesn't.

zheng yu there is a phrase when someone suceeds in light of being disliked that says "yeah but they laughed all the way to the bank". When he says "Laugh Hard it's a long way to the bank." I think two things: 1) Laugh Hard because none of it is that serious and 2) that trying to be successful is very difficult so laugh hard while it still matters

Leila- "one of my favorite song lyrics from a band called Modest Mouse is this: 'The whole world stinks, so no one's taking showers anymore.' Maybe you've had a worse night than my friend here. Your boss yelled at you, or a customer was rude. But the way I see it, there's only two ways to go about things after a bad night. You either stink it up with everyone else, or you take a shower. " (Let's get lost){Adi Alsaid}

omg the book bought me here too hahah x

Awesome input!!! :)

STEFAN JANOSKI

I like to play this song over and over and over to see if my roomates notice

"you are not a chap"

Hahahaha

Do they make porn

nothing brought me here, just paper thin walls i can here everyone theyre fucken loud

saw modest mouse live last night and they played this in the encore it was incredible. the crowd went wild.

drunk seth :)

the episode with Alex at the bate shop??

would modest mouse exist without the pixies?

@taylor_4219 Probably (I love Pixies)

@taylor_4219 would the pixies exist without out the beatles

The line 'laugh hard it's a long way to the bank' is actually a reference to the they might be giants song rhythm section want ad.

Why do people always have to have these discussions without enjoying the damn song?

Would Vampire Weekend exist without Modest Mouse?

The OC season 2

My favorite modest mouse song

No, cause I see it as well

stuck in my head all day

This song is hilarious.

so glad I was introduced to MM during my freshman year

i just got turned onto modest mouse a couple months ago, whats this song saying?

voyeurist line, lyrical genius

it's hard to be modest about a band with such an obvious superlatively ironic moniker. modest mouse is awesome and I love them. Josh pull your head out of your ass.

In Death Grips' "Artificial Death in the West" they reference this song. Love both groups.

@muhdfahmi131 Happiest skater ever

Stefan janoski

same lol. subtleties was such a great video.

Used to brilliant effect on the closing credits of Irish language sports programme 'Seo Spoirt', music is indeed global!

Janoski*

me being a modest mouse fan brought me here

Jenoski brought me here

Aha your so mad just because you think im saying MM isn't good.

fuck you too.

fuck you.

all music is perfect if you think so, dummy.

Laugh hard its a long ways to the bank

lovely tune. Prescient too; nobody has any privacy anymore. I sign up for something online and instantly all my personal data is live, public, monetized and shared with every fucking stranger ever. Fuck you Mark Zuckerberg!

this album saved and continues to save my life

Great tune

You need to get your head out the clouds son.

if anybody here talks shit about modest mouse then i will burn your fucking house down.

I love it man i cant get enough

This song makes me feel okay.

umadbro?

I love MM especially The beautiful people.

/end troll

Seriously though, this is a fantastic song.

in the context of this song what dose voyeur mean? i know normally it means somebody who likes to watch secretly people have sex.

It means they're spying on you

@ASingleManniquin These lyrics are about Isaac Brock's rape charges.

"It's been agreed the whole world stinks so no one's takin showers anymore."

@h0k13 lol I actually looked back at this comment and I was like "why am I getting so mad?" so yeah, I hear ya

@Guercinator It's a free country. There is no rule that says the people who dislike the song are not allowed to comment. That's what this section is for. I love the song, but your anger would be better put toward asking those who dislike the songs to not be assholes about it.

MOUSE.

What a great song

The O.C.

My new favourite song! :D

if you look at every song on youtube I swear to you it's the same conversation every time.

@NeptuneMS385 like a baws

@FlintAndStealingFilm That tells me that you enjoy good music.

I remember Stefan Janoski with this song :D

like if you heared this song on OC California! (Y)

I'VE BEEN BLASTING MODEST MOUSE IN JUST MY RIGHT EAR ALL DAY AND I'M HALF DEAF WITH MODEST MOUSE. YEAH!

@krophiquon ......yeah!

@ASingleManniquin Someone out there right now is saying something eerily similar about 2 girls 1 cup. Different interests are different.

tattoos are gay

thanks for posting this one

what's next fighting over bon iver

favorite song off the album

People who dislike modest mouse use monosyllable vocabulary and walk around with their eyes on the back of their heads seeing the world from the view of the opposing side of a telescope. It's okay.... those people only get to breathe our recycled oxygen.

Stefan Janoski is king

Many chill pills must be taken. :)

I think so many people dislike this song purely do to the fact that they themselves have no clue what its lyrics mean. With bands like Kesha out there who could blame them. Understanding is a commodity these days.

@CodeMonkeyZzX I regret nothing

Thank you andrew

Modest Mouse is so awesome...

EVERYONE WHO IS SAYING THIS SONG SUCKS...

JUST FUCK OFF AND GET OFF THE GOD DAMN VIDEO. IF YOU DON'T FUCKING LIKE THE SONG. THEN DON'T COMMENT ON IT BECAUSE NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR IT!

@hapt1K ... Don't listen to it?

Awesome.

HAAAAAIL SAAAAAATAN!!!!!!

Jack, I just got a whole ass load of free songs on beemp3.

(Literally, I ground up all the mp3 files and turned them into a dildo, and i could fill my whole ass with them.)

p.s....


HAAAIIIL SAAAATAN!!!

Guercinator wtf
