This and the rest of interstate 8/building nothing has to be my favorite MM disc. And I don't think I have to clarify the meaning of this song. Only person that can truly understand it is Brock himself? Pffft.

I've always liked this song because a lot of my trips take me on I-8, and Modest Mouse fits the vibe of that road very well. It's one of the most desolate and empty stretches of road in the country, especially the part in Arizona. I think the song is about loneliness and the monotony of life.

hes going nowhere. i think the only person who can truly understand this song is the one who wrote it. its obviously a reflection of some of his emotions. one we the listeners can never understand and claim to have figured out by posting our opinions here. anyways no matter what it means the song is great.
