Lyric discussion by Aloysius1979 

ha, sounds like you don't understand it either. their lyrics are very esoteric and new age. this song is about the transition to the 4th dimension supposed to start 2012. Timewave Zero. is it true that we are formless divine beings of the spirit burning eternally but hidden from view underneath a cage of flesh? in the world of forms? the 4th dimension is where we will ascend to from the 3rd and transcend time and space. Or is it all a lie and we are just these meaningless forms leading meaningless lives? that's the gist of it. it of course has alot more too it and there are too many details to write about. If you don't get this stuff don't worry about it, just enjoy how catchy it is and continue on with the life of ignorance, that is why they don't like you listening to their music, because you can't quite appreciate it. this stuff reminds me of the klaxons. very similar look them up.

@Aloysius1979 I came here to see if someone got the same opinion of the meaning of the song as I do and your comment nailed it. I think a lot of MGMT's songs are about the meaning of life and what will happen after death. In future reflections a lot of the lyrics are connected to this. "if it's good or if it's fortune i can't tell but pieces come together for some reason just aswell". In metanoia they sing about this sort of god they call "mystic referee" and "sachidananda". I can not belive how Andrew make the lyrics so...
