The Whale Song
Navigating the Depths: Modest Mouse's Evocative Journey
Lyrics
I guess I am a scout
I recognize that I play the role of a scout
So I should find a way out
I should discover an exit or solution
So everyone can find a way out
So everyone else can also find a way out
They keep us in
They confine us within
To pull us out
To eventually rescue us
I'm rising up
I am ascending or improving
Wish I was sinking down
I wish I were declining or sinking
And it's not like
Expressing a contrast or contradiction
There was warning
There was no advance notice
We were happy
We were content or pleased
And it's not like
Expressing a contrast or contradiction
There was mourning
There was no grieving
In the warning
In the advance notice or warning
I know I am a scout
A repetition of recognizing the role of a scout
I should've found a way out
I should have found a solution or exit
So everyone can find a way out
So everyone else could also find a way out
I know I am a scout
A repetition of recognizing the role of a scout
I should've found a way out
I should have found a solution or exit
So everyone can find a way out
So everyone else could also find a way out
Instead of seeing, a neighbor out
Instead of observing a neighbor
God, I wish I would've found a way out
I wish I had discovered a way out
It's the last time
Referring to the final occasion or opportunity
We were happy
We were content or pleased
Ever happy
Continuing the sentiment of being content
I know I was a scout
A repetition of recognizing the role of a scout
I should've found a way out
I should have found a solution or exit
So everyone could find a way out
So everyone else could also find a way out
Well I know I was a scout
A repetition of recognizing the role of a scout
I should've found a way out
I should have found a solution or exit
So everyone could find a way out
So everyone else could also find a way out
Well I know I was a scout
A repetition of recognizing the role of a scout
I should've found a way out
I should have found a solution or exit
So everyone could find a way out
So everyone else could also find a way out
