Mild apprehension
Blank dreams of the coming fun
Distort the odds of a turnaround
Gut screams out next to none
So turn it on
Tune it in
And stay inert
You say, "I've got the backbone"
The back way to escape the gun
Climbing a tree with a missing limb
And not saving anyone
And now it hurts
To stay at home
And see
Flash
The mirror ball's throwing mold
You can't get a grip if there's nothing to hold
See the flash catch a white lily laugh and wilt
But if you must smash a glass first fill it to the hilt
Plants
As far as I know are still
Still bending toward the light
And if we dance
Until the heart explodes
It'll make this place ignite
And even if this hall collapses
I can stand by my pillar of hope it's just
A case of Flash delirium
Here's a growing culture
Deep inside a corpse
Ages stuck together
Taking it to the source
Timeless desperation
Pictures on a screen scream
"Hey people, what does it mean?"
Comfort keeps us nice
So quick to donate everything (nothing arrives)
Die wolken drifting blinding smiles circling (einkreisen)
But time's tingling spines
Attaching hands to floor
The rosy-tinted flash
The hot dog's getting cold
And you'll never be as good as the Rolling Stones
Watch the birds in the airport gathering dirt
Crowd the clean magazine chick lifting up her skirt
(Why close one eye and try to
Pledge allegiance to the sun
When plastic ghosts start terrorizing everyone
Geometric troops aligning
Carried up to the burial mounds
My earthbound heart is heavy
Your heartbeat keeps things light
With the violence forever threatening the night
And even if this hall collapses
I can stand by my pillar of hope and trust)
Lines when I close my eyes and just
Aim blindly at the sun
And hear love
When the ghosts start singing terrorizing everyone
Geometric troops aligning
Carried up to the burial mounds with gold
It's a heavy load but your
Your rhythm makes it light and explode
Like a violent star keeps threatening the night
And even if this hall collapses
I can stand by my pillar of hope and trust
That our heads won't bust
66 55 red battleships
40 earthlike planets
3 holes 2 tits
1 fork in its side
Zero tears in their eyes
Sue the spiders
Sink the Welsh
Stab your Facebook
Sell, sell, sell
Undercooked
Overdone
Mass adulation not so funny
Poisoned honey
Pseudo-science
Silly money
You're my honey
Blank dreams of the coming fun
Distort the odds of a turnaround
Gut screams out next to none
So turn it on
Tune it in
And stay inert
You say, "I've got the backbone"
The back way to escape the gun
Climbing a tree with a missing limb
And not saving anyone
And now it hurts
To stay at home
And see
Flash
The mirror ball's throwing mold
You can't get a grip if there's nothing to hold
See the flash catch a white lily laugh and wilt
But if you must smash a glass first fill it to the hilt

Still bending toward the light
And if we dance

It'll make this place ignite
And even if this hall collapses

The crab is very tasty. It's a very rare crab, one of the smallest crabs you've ever seen that is still edible but you still decide to eat it. And it's very refreshing, all you need...
There's no more food on the island, and so you keep looking for food on the island. Maybe you can eat a coconut but it gets really boring after a while when all you do is chewing on coconuts and you're just surrounded by sand and water.....,.......................
It has nothing to do with war or political effects. All that in the video was just to show everything mainstream sucks.
Well, that's just my opinion, i think MGMT lyrics are amazing, deep and magic i really enjoy their songs.
One significant subject that jumped out at me (probably since I listen to the Pixies a lot) is how there are references to the Old Testament story of Samson and Delilah.
Here are a few of the lines that I mean:
"...And even if this hall collapses
I can stand by my pillar of hope it's just..."
"...Here's a growing culture
Deep inside a corpse
Ages stuck together..."
"Poisoned honey"
Although these lines make up a small portion of the song, they really leap out to me as being about Samson and Delilah. Samson pushed pillars inside a building and collapsed it upon himself and his captors, killing everyone. There is also a part of the story in which Samson kills a lion and comes across it later and discovers that bees have nested inside the corpse and filled it with honey.
Although I think there's a WHOLE lot more to this song...
