An Orgy of Critics Lyrics
sweep the black super market
sweep it up with your teeth put your feather in your box (take off, take off) send it off to me i smell oxygen, precious bareback on your horse gallop off course, get off (get off, get off) filled with fury's force there's a (fire) in the peach pit a (blaze) in the snake pit (You) erased it but we saw you fake it there's (blood) on the good book (love) in the bad brook suck out all the nerve and make it yours you brought me to my knees your art it brought me to my knees you're so perfect to please us you make all the right noise get the business clothes off (take off, take off) and strip down to your voice we will show you your future and choke the air from your world you can be our once, twice, thrice four times then goodbye girl i don't know who told you that but it's a lie, believe me i swear i shall not deceive thee i don't know who sold you that but it's a fake, remind me my eyes see straight behind me i've never killed nobody i promise you're my first you always remember your first

Then putting the feather in the box and sending it off is sending a demo to a record company. A feather cos its a small part of what helps him fly away, his music
And 'send it off to me' and the bit about smelling oxygen is the record company realising they have a chance to make money.
So yeh.. in short I think the song is about the bands struggles, like brokenparachutes said :)

sweep the black super market
sweep it up with your teeth
put your feather in a box
(take off, take off)
send it off to me
i smell oxygen, precious
bareback on your horse
gallop off course, get off
(get off, get off)
filled with fury's force
there's a (fire) in the peach pit
a (blaze) in the snake pit
(You) erased it but we
saw you fake it
there's (blood) on the good book
(love) in the bad brook
suck out all the nerve and make it yours
there's a (fire) in the peach pit
there's a (fire) in the peach pit
there's a (fire) in the peach pit
we saw you fake it
you brought me to my knees
your art it brought me to my knees
your art it brought me (brought me)
brought me (brought me)
brought me to my knees
you're so perfect to please us
you make all the right noise
get the business clothes off
(take off, take off)
and strip down to your voice
we will show you your future
and choke the air from your world
(choke choke choke)
you can be our once, twice, thrice
four times then goodbye girl
there's a (fire) in the peach pit
a (blaze) in the snake pit
(You) erased it but we
saw you fake it
There's a (crack) in the blank stare,
(black) in the raised hair.
(black) It's not fair.
there's a (fire) in the peach pit
there's a (fire) in the peach pit
there's a (fire) in the peach pit
you brought me to my knees
your art it brought me to my knees
your art it brought me (brought me)
brought me (brought me)
brought me to my knees
i don't know who told you that
who told you that?
i don't know
but it's a lie, believe me
i swear i shall not deceive thee
(yeah)
i don't know who sold you that
but it's a fake,
I don’t know who sold you that baby but it’s a fake
remind me
cos my eyes see straight behind me
i've never killed nobody
i promise you're my first
you always remember your first
ok bring me fucking down
you brought me to my knees
your art it brought me to my knees
your art it brought me (brought me)
brought me (you brought me)
you brought me to my knees

i can also see that he's singing from the point of view of a critic maybe? the verses in the song are incredibly negative, raging at the state of the industry, yet the chorus is uplifting, maybe the "your art it brought me to my knees" is a reference to genuine music, like his own. again, just an opinion

"put your feather in your box
(take off, take off)"
^ i kind of think that has something to do with advance releases artists send to critics.. max uses 'feather' as a metaphor for record to show that to a music critic that's exactly how much music is worth.
"you brought me to my knees
your art it brought me to my knees"
^ i think that has something to do with those people who seem to just ignore music.. because sometimes there is one record that they stumble upon that makes them change their minds.
also sometimes when i'm listening to this i like to think they're railing against something like pitchfork ha ha
