Last Verse "Lay my Dragon's Teeth" and Shallow Water Steel.
"German invasion of Begium on the 28th of May, 1940. Germans have the city surrounded; the Dragon's Teeth were what they called the anti-tank blockades used to slow the progression of German tanks on the Siegfried Line (a battle front between Belgium and Germany). Belgian Gates were what they named the large steel frameworks that were built to block the progression of the enemy as well." Basically pondering the insanity of war.
I can imagine myself sitting on the roof too drunk and stoned to move... While the moon gives it's last appearance to humanity. And this masterpiece of a song is being played on loop through out the city before the world ends for us.
@ShareYourUnderwear Hey, it's shareyourunderwear! I remember seeing one of your awesome comments on a different video before. There's no mistaking that name :D
@lavabrand why do people even say things about 2012? i mean, that is just a misinterpretation of the Mayan Calender, the world doesnt end, just the end of the 4/5 set
@AllandAboveOfficial This is a song relating to the Mayan prophecy of 12/21/2012. The singer is saying that people think they will have pieces of something to pick up after the destruction but he knows there will be nothing left, so he asks, "Pieces of what?" The line "When the world has turned, paralyzed and wrong" refers to the poles shifting and the entire Earth being frozen or "paralyzed."
Its about 2012 when the poles are supposed to shift on earth.
"When the world it turns...."
A bunch of the songs on this cd are about our horrible future as humans. The Youth, Future reflections, Pieces of What, and others if you listen close.
@imissac44 That's a reference to a very unusual film from the 70s (?) called The Holy Mountain. It's very Dadaist and surreal, so MGMT have good reason to be influenced by it XD. Ben said so in an interview actually.
Seriously, Its just a song, just a band. I loooooove MGMT, but, Do you really care if they do drugs? So what if they do? Whatever floats your boat. At the end of the day, we have good music, they have a good time.
i know modern day phycs are awsome..... dont find them anymore.... i just wish people didnt automaticly think drugs when it comes to phycadellics .....its just another look on life ya know?
depends how you see it......its more so a key to a new and diffrent room..... with unlimited space and anything goes.... but thats not what its all about about and thats not what phycs are all about...those are acidheads ur talkin bout....
Dude, to postulate that psychadelics shouldn't be automatically linked to lsd or acid is to be like "Bob Marley" shouldn't be linked to Cannabis. Come'on dude, get real!
That analogy just doesn't work for me! Bob Marley was smoking on one of his album covers and openly promoted his support for Cannabis while Psychedelic bands are different! All this is IMO. @Blake223
@Fatallyattractiv & co. In the Time to Pretend video they mimic dropping acid ontop of a volcano and then ride a giant cat across a rotating galaxy. Quit being dumb. Its called psychadelic for a reason, though I'd disagree they they're purly psychadelic, they have other influences too, but if you don't think these guys are in a constant state of fucked up then you're just nieve.
they probably were. and your damn right bout that lol.heres the thing, ive never smiled from music before..and now i have. its like holy shit! they just are so good
f u r reading this, then u will find a dead bloody body hanging in ur closet. U will be haunted and killed by her. to stop it posti this to 6 other videos in 30 GOOD LUCK
i love how each song has it's own qualities so it doesn't seem like the same song over and over. yet at the same time it all goes well together to create a fantastic album.
