the video for this song is so epic! its the band recording in a studio, and they are all killed, [death to los campesinos!, you know...] but in fairly unlikely ways: one girl coughs up flowers, another gets impaled by a unicorns horn, gareth gets mauled by kittens [!], other members get killed by confetti, balloons, feathers, rainbows, streamers. its awesome!
but anyway, as to the meaning of the song, all of these seemingly innocuous things come blasting out of the speakers and amps while theyre recording. so, its like technology offers all these things and opportunities that seem really benign and even desirable or actively good but they end up being malicious and homicidal and the death of everyone involved.
! such an amazing band. i cant even properly explain.
