Her Words Destroyed My Planet

This is a track from My Dinosaur Life, the fourth studio album by American pop punk band Motion City Soundtrack.

On this track, frontman Justin Pierre wonders what direction his life might have taken had an ex-girlfriend not broken up with him in late 2006. "This is the most honest song I've ever written," Pierre told Spin magazine. He continued: "There are [people] that I've run into that blame the direction or outcome of their lives on a single incident. This idea has always fascinated me. Had the woman not split up with me, I would most likely not have spiraled out of control to the point of no return, which allowed me to start over from scratch. What seemed like a tragedy three years ago turned out to be the best thing for both parties involved."

In the song's first verse, Pierre sings about falling asleep watching American TV series Veronica Mars, a reference to the moment he began to write the tune. He recalled to Spin magazine: "I had just finished watching the final season of Veronica Mars on DVD, so I was relatively upset that there would be no more episodes."
