Everest - Ratatat Rap Remix

A remix I made of a Ratatat song, Everest. This is the first leak off our new mixtape which is dropping in late August.

I don't own rights to this song, Ratatat does, and they're hella cool so I hope they don't sue the fuck out of me.

Lyrics:
We're a mess in the head
A domestic event could have blessed us instead
We're left to avenge all the present events
Like the classic revenge of the plastic distress
It's a massive effect, the masses are left
To be battered and broken and smashed in the head.
We're bastards at best; we can't pack up our tents,
We're left to defend a defense that is less.
And the best is, we're next,
And the less that we ask means the more that we get
Cause the past is all passed, and the rest isn't left
To decide whether we live or die in the end.
We're the next of kin we're the broken.
We're the leaders, out spoken
We're the kids growing up and it's tough,
Cause we gotta fight through all the grime and the rust
To define what we must, and we climb Everest,
Hit the sky going high gotta rise till we bust
Cause we fall till we're dust, it's a chain it's a circle,
It's a maze, it's a phase and it's hurtful
It's a crazy place, but its earth though,
Gotta face mistakes, but they hurt still
See the pain in a strained role reversal,
See the black of the back of a herse pull
Away from graves, in an age old rehearsal
We face the facts, but we still take it personal
And the effect of the crap is commercial,
Gravity bends bad backs, slow and sure though
But we burn slow, like stars
Then we reach out, then fall.
Then we crash but we land on our feet once again
Saved by a strand of a pad and a pen.
But that's all me, my responsibilities are growing faster
Then the plastered lining of catastrophes
Silver lining lights the sides fast declining trophy leagues
To pass the wasted time inside the mind deciding apple eats
Screw Adam, fuck Eve.
I'll decide to live my life however I please
So for now, that's just acting like a kid
Passionate about the present, not the past and what I did
It's not worth it starting shit,
Screw the rest, step back, light a spliff
Don't think, life is not a pop quiz
Stop stressing, and enjoy what life is

Just a game though
Gotta run through your veins like the blood in a brain flow
Heart thumps like a bass though, and it goes like a beast but the beat always goes slow
Gotta run through your veins slow, like the blood in a brain flow.

Head back to the casket, masking pain like masquerades of passion
Blasting off in space, mistakes are made, but you can change reactions
Formulating plans just wastes the time you need to start an action
Class can give you knowledge, but true wisdom leads to true attraction

This is really excellent. The lyrics are incredibly deep, and that's not something that comes around often. Thanks for this.

Your lyrics are always great. If I had to pick a favorite part of your music, it'd be the meaning I get out of the lyrics. Sweet stuff.
