Mr. Psyche’s CENTIPEDE HZ Analysis This is the Psychedelic Interpretation of Animal Collective’s new album “Centipede Hz’ Enjoy the Story!!! Make sure to play the album as you read to truly get where Mr. Psyche is coming from!!! Peace!! CENTIPEDE HZ by Animal Collective - 1. Moonjock (Youth) - 2. Today’s Supernatural (Society) - 3. Rosie Oh (Relationships & Love) - 4. Applesauce (Marijuana) - 5. Wide Eyed (Paranoia) - 6. Father Time (Death) - 7. New Town Burnout (Fame) - 8. Monkey Riches (Friendships & Money) - 9. Mercury Man (Redemption) - 10. Pulleys (Pronoia) - 11. Amanita (Wisdom) track 1 - MOONJOCK - The Imagination of Children - (Theme: Youth) (Lyric: “This is the new Centipede…”) You are born an Earthling on Planet Earth, with loving parents who let you explore and discover new ways of thinking. You learn about the vastness of the Cosmos. You find comfort in your parents and your youth feels like something from a fairy tale. So much love. So many trips. As you age you dream of Alien Life and believe them to be listening in on your thoughts, (Lyric:”Carolina mark the mile, South of the Border bumper signs and styles I don’t recognize, a weeping willow motel sign, by Georgia I am hypnotized, more batteries for my power ma’am, I’m tuning into radio let it change me till we drive again”) The radio transmission “Centipede Hz” reminds you of these scary alien thoughts. Running to cry on your mother’s shoulder (Lyric:”And in the night time you’ll see, Lean on it! Lean on it! And then we ran out again. Let it out!! Let it Out!!”) She tells you to go to sleep and escape these thoughts (Lyric: Let it out! Let it Out!”) and your hurting emotions and dream of Humanity and it’s Culture. *trippy radio sounds are you tuning out of the Centipede Hz temporarily to dream* You change into something dark and twisted listening to the thoughts of others in these dreams, becoming Supernatural. track 2 - TODAY’S SUPERNATURAL - Escaping the Status Quo - (Theme: Society) Feeling the winds of a new day makes you want to shed your Ego (Lyric: “L-l-l-l-l-l-l-LET GO!!”) and see the Earth and its patrons for how they truly are. You see people’s individuality and love that everyone is different. (“Lyric: I will Welcome you the same”) Whether they’re white, black, asian, homeless, gay, straight…you love everyone in this state (Lyric: “There’s a ruby in your eye and we don’t have to be the same”) (Lyric: “your ohms the sweetest thing inside of you”) You call for humanity to look beyond the mere horizon and gaze into the Promised Lands with you.  (Lyric: “our home is bigger than a mountain view”) As you realize people need to unite in times of crisis and be the “same’ sometimes. (Lyric: Sometimes you gotta go get MAD!! MAD!!!”) The last verse (“Come on L-l-l-l-l-Let Go!”) is Society responding to your protests and state that you will never be the same. (Lyric: “SAME!?!?!”) They scream it at the top of their lungs and you slowly wake into Reality again and realize your in the same position as in your dream. You come into contact with one person who agrees with you and you go on Adventure with them. The Aliens continue listening in on you through the Centipede Hz connection, but they let you live your life for now with your beautiful new Girlfriend, Rosie. track 3  -  ROSIE OH  -  The Power of Love - (Theme: Relationships & Love) As you journey across the World you grow closer with your Loved One and feel as though you are finally free to be the thing you’ve wanted to be since you were a Child. As you grow closer your insecurities begin to come back to you and try to keep her from getting too close. (Lyrics: “You had offered up a ride, so I might not get accosted by the Watery Slide, but i said No”) (Lyric: “I’d rather not had said No, I’d rather not had said No”) You are slowly growing up, slowly changing and you reminisce about times with your friends and feel as though you are leaving them behind. (Lyric: As I left my home I cried, I substituted, figured, tried to reconcile the things I left behind”) Sometimes you and your new love get into problems but you always manage to come back together in the end and look at the Bright Side of Life. You just want to keep her safe. Especially with the Aliens listening in on all of your conversations through the “Hz” You tell your love that you and her are on their own in the world.  You wish to get High above all the World’s problems, so you accept the Relationship. “I’d like to Embrace it! I’d like it Embrace it! I’d like to Embrace it All!” So, you and your new love experiment with Marijuana for the first time, to reach a common ground together. track 4 - APPLESAUCE - Comfy in Cannabis - (Theme: Marijuana) The both of you play around with the drugs of Earth, only to escape the insecurties you face in your Day-to-Day lives. You both feel addicted to the stuff as if it was Food. And because you feel like exploring (urges in you still from “Moonjock”) you choose to have a night out in the City. (Lyric: ” and the kid he picks a good thing, and the chef he makes a good thing, and the mayor eats a good thing”) You begin to trip out and become paranoid with your girl around all the people and choose to smoke some more in the City. As it brings you both closer together. (Lyric: “When you think you dont know you don’t know, you don’t know what comes next”) *you take a smoke* (Lyric: “Ripe and whole we can Move Outside Us!!!” ) The rush makes you feel ecstatic (Lyric: “You’re just a rush to blow open my mind! Blow upon the fire!”) But suddenly the joy you share is brought to a close when The Authorities find you both and take you to Jail. (Lyric: “When you think you dont know you don’t know, you don’t know what comes next”) Your respective families bail you both out but now your Relationships become Strained. The Centipede Hz begins to play with your mind like it did before you met the love of your life track 5 - WIDE EYED  - The Schizophrenic Centipede - (Theme: Paranoia) The paranoia you experienced earlier begins to take a hold of you even within your Dreams. (Lyric: “Cutting her into dream time”) You try to follow the lights of your Love but a Darkness overcomes you. (Lyric: “When you’re sleeping so far away…”) You feel so small in the vast Universe and the only thing bringing you comfort is your loved ones. (Lyric: ” If I could change my mind , I would Change “) You thank your loved one for caring for you in these dark times and  (Lyric: ” How is she not breaking down, oh God! I feel her shaking” ) As days pass, you see your bad mood begin rubbing off on your close friends and continue searching for the Light (Lyric: “How am I still holding on, oh God! I hope I am holding”) Gravity trips you out. How are you still Holding? You feel the Aliens listening in on your thoughts again, your “Ohms” and feel them playing with your Brain Chemistry. Re-connecting to “Centipede Hz” “Earth Lifeforms” You start to shed your fear of Change. (Lyric: “I am Waking Up! Oh God I Hope I am Waking!”) And you tell your loved one that it’s better to separate temporarily before you lose each other forever. You decide to take a Break. (Lyric: “I’m less afraid of Change.”) You both strive to see things more Clearly. You’re now “Wide Eyed, Wide Eyed”  *outro noises* “You’ll be OK, You’ll be OK, You’ll be OK”  But will you? track 6  -  FATHER TIME  -  Leaving your Mark on the Earth While you’re Here Aka. The New Beginning - (Theme: Death) Time is ticking. And now that you’re climbing up out of rock bottom. You feel better and think about your Paranoid Days as if it was such a long time ago. (Lyric: “Pass a long time ago”) You think of the people we’ve lost over time (Lyric: “Where’d they go, Where’d they go now?”) Because your now trying to overcome your depression you stop playing around, smoking weed and doing selfish things (Lyric: “We exorcized the weekend, now all the demons can’t play”)  You think about your life and the fact you only live once. “Time, he’s got real big hands and bigger plans” You head back to an important thing in your childhood for comfort. Music. (From: Moonjock, the radio in your parents car) You decide to become a Musician because you fear death and want a piece of your Soul to live on forever. (Lyric: “And did I remember suitcase (professional musician) and all the things in my head, and all the expectations of doing something SPECIAL! I could be GONE today! But where will they take me?!”) You start a band As you feel it is the Only way to Truly Express Yourself and Have Earth Remember You Forever…And you feel as though the music may reach deep into Outer Space and tell the Aliens what you’re all about so they’ll finally leave you alone for good…. Fame? It’s worth a shot… track 7  -  NEW TOWN BURNOUT  - A Day in the Life of an Artist  - (Theme: Fame) (Lyric: “Will I Make It? Will I Make It?”) Time passes, months pass and You think about the fame you’ve achieved over time. You thinks of your fans and thank them for their support and happiness they’ve given you all these years. Love but also Comfort and a feeling that you can experiment with your music as much as you want and they’ll still believe in you (Lyric: “I’ll take my shoes off…take my coat off”) Mix it up! As you’re jamming with your new friends, some of your old friends meet up with you again (Lyric: “No more little fights”) and you all have a large jam at a nearby Rave.  Filling your hearts with a groovy vibe makes you forget about your tainted past and brings you a sense of Belonging and Understanding. Your friends re-introduce you to Psychedelic Drugs and you enter a complete state of Bliss, a New Town Burnout with your band, Animal Collective. (Lyric: OUT OF MY BODY, OUT OF MY MIND) You feel the Centipede Hz running through your blood and mind, you JAM EVEN LOUDER TO EXPEL THE FORCES.  YOU AND YOUR BAND ARE IN COMPLETE SYNC. IT’S GOOD TO BE BACK!!  DEAKIN’S BACK!! CHYEA!! the evil Alien connection begins to leave you.  (Lyric: “Lift this weight, weight, weight!!! Leave my Light, Light On!!!”) You feel happy but wonder if you can go on without the Centipede Hz track 8  -  MONKEY RICHES  -  The Search for Happiness & Answers - (Theme: Friendships & Money) You’re moving on at an extremely fast pace and question if it is a good thing to move on. You want to connect with the Centipede Hz (Lyric: “I want to get my knees out in the dirt”) The “Ohms” tries to enter you again but it just doesn’t cling now that you’re happy with your band, Animal Collective. You want to travel to the stars and assist the aliens, so you use your music to connect with them. A New Connection. (Lyric: “I don’t want to knock you down”) You ask through your music for someone out there in the Cosmos to recieve and start giving you answers to the secrets the Universe holds. (Lyric: “Where exactly is my heart and where does it start?”) You know you NEED the band but you begin to yearn for something more (Lyric: “I don’t want to knock you down.”) (Lyric: “Monkey Rich? Monkey Rich?”)  The Aliens mock your search for love, all your money and your fame, and claim that they only target people who aren’t afraid to journey into the unknown. They make fun of you for believing you are better than them. “Monkey Rich? Monkey Rich?” Why So Serious? You question the change you’ve made and feel it’s time to return to your Girlfriend, ROSIE. (Lyric: I don’t want to knock you down”) That’s it. Forget the fame. Forget the money. Rosie, oh, she’s all you need… The very thing you’ve been yearning for is for Your one true Love to take you back, even though your misery ruined things months back in “Wide Eyed” Let’s hope she accepts… track 9  -  MERCURY MAN  -  Taking Risks - (Theme: Redemption) You call the Love of your Life, Rosie, and you just want her forgiveness and for her to know you are a better human being. (Lyric: “Two human beings, i’m upset, you’re upset, let’s be Done!” ) You wish to cure both your independent unhappinesses by getting back together. You know that you seem toxic now that so much time has passed since you said Goodbye. You are a questionable person, your old love says, you’re “The Mercury Man” but she agrees to get back together because of the Power of Love that amazed you both in "Rosie Oh" track 10  -  PULLEYS  -  Comfy in Pronoia - (Theme: Pronoia) Sequel to Wide Eyed’s “Paranoia” You enter that wonderful state of bliss from “Rosie Oh” and “Applesauce” and begin using mind-altering drugs in the safety and comfort of your Home. (Lyric: “Pulleys and vines”) You feel the opposite of Paranoia, PRONOIA and feel as though everything is here to help you grow and finally mature with your loved one ever since the days of "Moonjock" as a Youth. As you now have a wonderful psychedelic band, a beautiful partner and mesmerizing hallucinogens in your life. PRONOIA takes over you. (Lyric: “Trees said their smarts aren’t in books they wrote!!!”) It’s in the TREES themselves. The (Lyric: “NATURAL CAGES”) (Lyric: “Like minded people, do they feel afraid, feel afraid?”) You feel sorry for those who are not in this state of Love and Lust with your Beauty.  Your group begins tripping harder, your minds begin growing. (Lyric: “MIND IT GROWS!! MIND IT GROWS!! MIND IT GROWS!!”) You and Rosie make love whilst in the state of Bliss (Lyric: “Different people can they kiss Amazed? kiss AMAZED?”) You think of how far human beings have come and how complex the brain is, so many connections, so many neurons, it’s like (Lyric: Tunnels, and Caves, the humanoid)  (Lyric: “We’re here to help you, are you feeling low?”) You continue using the drugs in order to get High (Lyric: “Feeling low? Feeling low?” ) You reconnect with your childhood (Moonjock) and your love for Nature/Mother Earth’s Food (Applesauce) and with your loved one by your side (Rosie Oh) you become the better person you’ve always wanted to be and head into the Final Track as ONE with EVERYTHING. AND EVERYTHING as ONE. track 11  -   AMANITA  - Future Reflections on Humanity - (Theme: Wisdom)  You ponder starting a new family with your new found Love after getting closer with your parents. Your rebellious youth is behind you and you reminisce about that past and it all makes you Smile and feel grateful that it’s all over.  (Lyric: ” What will happen to the stories from the bog, the trails of the viking”) You and Rosie wish to have one last journey into the realm of Psychedelics. (Lyric: “Art thou coming hiking?”) Thinking about humanity’s past and future (Lyric: “What have we done? What have we done? Fantasy is Falling Down!!!”) Makes you want to be a good person and help others and realize with the help of your loved one, you can live without the Centipede Hz. You, the Collective and Rosie head out on a Spirit Quest with a Shaman named Big Raven (Lyric: ” Big Big Raven) (“His voice HYPNOTIZING”) and recieve Amanita (Amanita is a psychedelic mushroom), heading (Lyric: “To the other places, that we never had, something like a misplaced future, that is old and sad”) You take the Amanita with your lover. Fully aware that it will probably be the last time they venture into that unknown and they’re fine with that. You want to slow down and have a family and some kids and take them on trips just like your parents did in the first track “Moonjock” (Lyric: “There’s nothing to do, Imagination Floating Around”) You both continue building up the Peace in your Mind with the help of Big Raven the Guide (Lyric: “Big Big Raven!!!!  What Have we Done? Fantasy is Falling Down!! She’s Breaking Apart!!”) Now, the last track “Amanita” The Aliens from the Hz tune into Avey Tare, Panda Bear, Geologist, and Deakin’s Ohms and discover that Humanity will be saved because they let The Animal Collective of Earth continue fighting for Change in their Community. The Aliens tuning into the Frequency Centipede Hz allows them to return to the story of the Centipede’s Walks with the Moon. (Lyric: “Oh, What you gunna do? Go into the forest! Until I really can’t remember my name!!”) At the height of their trip, they soar past the trees and through the clouds. Higher than Heaven. (Lyric: “And when I come back down things will be different, And I’m gunna bring back some stories and games!!!”) Who they are doesn’t matter, it’s what they believe in that counts. The Day and Age of the Centipede Hz invading the Consciousness, from your immature days of “Moonjock” to your mature days of “Amanita”, comes to an End, as you and your loved one take a final intake of Bliss and Kiss on the Lips. Maybe the Connection will return one day to check up on your Life… But even if they don’t, that’s alright… because you’ll have the beautiful Rosie by your side. Until the end of Time.

Fully aware that it will probably be the last time they venture into that unknown and they’re fine with that. You want to slow down and have a family and some kids and take them on trips just like your parents did in the first track “Moonjock” (Lyric: “There’s nothing to do, Imagination Floating Around”) You both continue building up the Peace in your Mind with the help of Big Raven the Guide (Lyric: “Big Big Raven!!!!  What Have we Done? Fantasy is Falling Down!! She’s Breaking Apart!!”) Now, the last track “Amanita” The Aliens from the Hz tune into Avey Tare, Panda Bear, Geologist, and Deakin’s Ohms and discover that Humanity will be saved because they let The Animal Collective of Earth continue fighting for Change in their Community. The Aliens tuning into the Frequency Centipede Hz allows them to return to the story of the Centipede’s Walks with the Moon. (Lyric: “Oh, What you gunna do? Go into the forest! Until I really can’t remember my name!!”) At the height of their trip, they soar past the trees and through the clouds. Higher than Heaven. (Lyric: “And when I come back down things will be different, And I’m gunna bring back some stories and games!!!”) Who they are doesn’t matter, it’s what they believe in that counts. The Day and Age of the Centipede Hz invading the Consciousness, from your immature days of “Moonjock” to your mature days of “Amanita”, comes to an End, as you and your loved one take a final intake of Bliss and Kiss on the Lips. Maybe the Connection will return one day to check up on your Life… But even if they don’t, that’s alright… because you’ll have the beautiful Rosie by your side. Until the end of Time.

Make sure to play the album as you read to truly get where Mr. Psyche is coming from!!! Peace!! CENTIPEDE HZ by Animal Collective - 1. Moonjock (Youth) - 2. Today’s Supernatural (Society) - 3. Rosie Oh (Relationships & Love) - 4. Applesauce (Marijuana) - 5. Wide Eyed (Paranoia) - 6. Father Time (Death) - 7. New Town Burnout (Fame) - 8. Monkey Riches (Friendships & Money) - 9. Mercury Man (Redemption) - 10. Pulleys (Pronoia) - 11. Amanita (Wisdom) track 1 - MOONJOCK - The Imagination of Children - (Theme: Youth) (Lyric: “This is the new Centipede…”) You are born an Earthling on Planet Earth, with loving parents who let you explore and discover new ways of thinking. You learn about the vastness of the Cosmos. You find comfort in your parents and your youth feels like something from a fairy tale. So much love. So many trips. As you age you dream of Alien Life and believe them to be listening in on your thoughts, (Lyric:”Carolina mark the mile, South of the Border bumper signs and styles I don’t recognize, a weeping willow motel sign, by Georgia I am hypnotized, more batteries for my power ma’am, I’m tuning into radio let it change me till we drive again”) The radio transmission “Centipede Hz” reminds you of these scary alien thoughts. Running to cry on your mother’s shoulder (Lyric:”And in the night time you’ll see, Lean on it! Lean on it! And then we ran out again. Let it out!! Let it Out!!”) She tells you to go to sleep and escape these thoughts (Lyric: Let it out! Let it Out!”) and your hurting emotions and dream of Humanity and it’s Culture. *trippy radio sounds are you tuning out of the Centipede Hz temporarily to dream* You change into something dark and twisted listening to the thoughts of others in these dreams, becoming Supernatural. track 2 - TODAY’S SUPERNATURAL - Escaping the Status Quo - (Theme: Society) Feeling the winds of a new day makes you want to shed your Ego (Lyric: “L-l-l-l-l-l-l-LET GO!!”) and see the Earth and its patrons for how they truly are. You see people’s individuality and love that everyone is different. (“Lyric: I will Welcome you the same”) Whether they’re white, black, asian, homeless, gay, straight…you love everyone in this state (Lyric: “There’s a ruby in your eye and we don’t have to be the same”) (Lyric: “your ohms the sweetest thing inside of you”) You call for humanity to look beyond the mere horizon and gaze into the Promised Lands with you.  (Lyric: “our home is bigger than a mountain view”) As you realize people need to unite in times of crisis and be the “same’ sometimes. (Lyric: Sometimes you gotta go get MAD!! MAD!!!”) The last verse (“Come on L-l-l-l-l-Let Go!”) is Society responding to your protests and state that you will never be the same. (Lyric: “SAME!?!?!”) They scream it at the top of their lungs and you slowly wake into Reality again and realize your in the same position as in your dream. You come into contact with one person who agrees with you and you go on Adventure with them. The Aliens continue listening in on you through the Centipede Hz connection, but they let you live your life for now with your beautiful new Girlfriend, Rosie. track 3  -  ROSIE OH  -  The Power of Love - (Theme: Relationships & Love) As you journey across the World you grow closer with your Loved One and feel as though you are finally free to be the thing you’ve wanted to be since you were a Child. As you grow closer your insecurities begin to come back to you and try to keep her from getting too close. (Lyrics: “You had offered up a ride, so I might not get accosted by the Watery Slide, but i said No”) (Lyric: “I’d rather not had said No, I’d rather not had said No”) You are slowly growing up, slowly changing and you reminisce about times with your friends and feel as though you are leaving them behind. (Lyric: As I left my home I cried, I substituted, figured, tried to reconcile the things I left behind”) Sometimes you and your new love get into problems but you always manage to come back together in the end and look at the Bright Side of Life. You just want to keep her safe. Especially with the Aliens listening in on all of your conversations through the “Hz” You tell your love that you and her are on their own in the world.  You wish to get High above all the World’s problems, so you accept the Relationship. “I’d like to Embrace it! I’d like it Embrace it! I’d like to Embrace it All!” So, you and your new love experiment with Marijuana for the first time, to reach a common ground together. track 4 - APPLESAUCE - Comfy in Cannabis - (Theme: Marijuana) The both of you play around with the drugs of Earth, only to escape the insecurties you face in your Day-to-Day lives. You both feel addicted to the stuff as if it was Food. And because you feel like exploring (urges in you still from “Moonjock”) you choose to have a night out in the City. (Lyric: ” and the kid he picks a good thing, and the chef he makes a good thing, and the mayor eats a good thing”) You begin to trip out and become paranoid with your girl around all the people and choose to smoke some more in the City. As it brings you both closer together. (Lyric: “When you think you dont know you don’t know, you don’t know what comes next”) *you take a smoke* (Lyric: “Ripe and whole we can Move Outside Us!!!” ) The rush makes you feel ecstatic (Lyric: “You’re just a rush to blow open my mind! Blow upon the fire!”) But suddenly the joy you share is brought to a close when The Authorities find you both and take you to Jail. (Lyric: “When you think you dont know you don’t know, you don’t know what comes next”) Your respective families bail you both out but now your Relationships become Strained. The Centipede Hz begins to play with your mind like it did before you met the love of your life track 5 - WIDE EYED  - The Schizophrenic Centipede - (Theme: Paranoia) The paranoia you experienced earlier begins to take a hold of you even within your Dreams. (Lyric: “Cutting her into dream time”) You try to follow the lights of your Love but a Darkness overcomes you. (Lyric: “When you’re sleeping so far away…”) You feel so small in the vast Universe and the only thing bringing you comfort is your loved ones. (Lyric: ” If I could change my mind , I would Change “) You thank your loved one for caring for you in these dark times and  (Lyric: ” How is she not breaking down, oh God! I feel her shaking” ) As days pass, you see your bad mood begin rubbing off on your close friends and continue searching for the Light (Lyric: “How am I still holding on, oh God! I hope I am holding”) Gravity trips you out. How are you still Holding? You feel the Aliens listening in on your thoughts again, your “Ohms” and feel them playing with your Brain Chemistry. Re-connecting to “Centipede Hz” “Earth Lifeforms” You start to shed your fear of Change. (Lyric: “I am Waking Up! Oh God I Hope I am Waking!”) And you tell your loved one that it’s better to separate temporarily before you lose each other forever. You decide to take a Break. (Lyric: “I’m less afraid of Change.”) You both strive to see things more Clearly. You’re now “Wide Eyed, Wide Eyed”  *outro noises* “You’ll be OK, You’ll be OK, You’ll be OK”  But will you? track 6  -  FATHER TIME  -  Leaving your Mark on the Earth While you’re Here Aka. The New Beginning - (Theme: Death) Time is ticking. And now that you’re climbing up out of rock bottom. You feel better and think about your Paranoid Days as if it was such a long time ago. (Lyric: “Pass a long time ago”) You think of the people we’ve lost over time (Lyric: “Where’d they go, Where’d they go now?”) Because your now trying to overcome your depression you stop playing around, smoking weed and doing selfish things (Lyric: “We exorcized the weekend, now all the demons can’t play”)  You think about your life and the fact you only live once. “Time, he’s got real big hands and bigger plans” You head back to an important thing in your childhood for comfort. Music. (From: Moonjock, the radio in your parents car) You decide to become a Musician because you fear death and want a piece of your Soul to live on forever. (Lyric: “And did I remember suitcase (professional musician) and all the things in my head, and all the expectations of doing something SPECIAL! I could be GONE today! But where will they take me?!”) You start a band As you feel it is the Only way to Truly Express Yourself and Have Earth Remember You Forever…And you feel as though the music may reach deep into Outer Space and tell the Aliens what you’re all about so they’ll finally leave you alone for good…. Fame? It’s worth a shot… track 7  -  NEW TOWN BURNOUT  - A Day in the Life of an Artist  - (Theme: Fame) (Lyric: “Will I Make It? Will I Make It?”) Time passes, months pass and You think about the fame you’ve achieved over time. You thinks of your fans and thank them for their support and happiness they’ve given you all these years. Love but also Comfort and a feeling that you can experiment with your music as much as you want and they’ll still believe in you (Lyric: “I’ll take my shoes off…take my coat off”) Mix it up! As you’re jamming with your new friends, some of your old friends meet up with you again (Lyric: “No more little fights”) and you all have a large jam at a nearby Rave.  Filling your hearts with a groovy vibe makes you forget about your tainted past and brings you a sense of Belonging and Understanding. Your friends re-introduce you to Psychedelic Drugs and you enter a complete state of Bliss, a New Town Burnout with your band, Animal Collective. (Lyric: OUT OF MY BODY, OUT OF MY MIND) You feel the Centipede Hz running through your blood and mind, you JAM EVEN LOUDER TO EXPEL THE FORCES.  YOU AND YOUR BAND ARE IN COMPLETE SYNC. IT’S GOOD TO BE BACK!!  DEAKIN’S BACK!! CHYEA!! the evil Alien connection begins to leave you.  (Lyric: “Lift this weight, weight, weight!!! Leave my Light, Light On!!!”) You feel happy but wonder if you can go on without the Centipede Hz track 8  -  MONKEY RICHES  -  The Search for Happiness & Answers - (Theme: Friendships & Money) You’re moving on at an extremely fast pace and question if it is a good thing to move on. You want to connect with the Centipede Hz (Lyric: “I want to get my knees out in the dirt”) The “Ohms” tries to enter you again but it just doesn’t cling now that you’re happy with your band, Animal Collective. You want to travel to the stars and assist the aliens, so you use your music to connect with them. A New Connection. (Lyric: “I don’t want to knock you down”) You ask through your music for someone out there in the Cosmos to recieve and start giving you answers to the secrets the Universe holds. (Lyric: “Where exactly is my heart and where does it start?”) You know you NEED the band but you begin to yearn for something more (Lyric: “I don’t want to knock you down.”) (Lyric: “Monkey Rich? Monkey Rich?”)  The Aliens mock your search for love, all your money and your fame, and claim that they only target people who aren’t afraid to journey into the unknown. They make fun of you for believing you are better than them. “Monkey Rich? Monkey Rich?” Why So Serious? You question the change you’ve made and feel it’s time to return to your Girlfriend, ROSIE. (Lyric: I don’t want to knock you down”) That’s it. Forget the fame. Forget the money. Rosie, oh, she’s all you need… The very thing you’ve been yearning for is for Your one true Love to take you back, even though your misery ruined things months back in “Wide Eyed” Let’s hope she accepts… track 9  -  MERCURY MAN  -  Taking Risks - (Theme: Redemption) You call the Love of your Life, Rosie, and you just want her forgiveness and for her to know you are a better human being. (Lyric: “Two human beings, i’m upset, you’re upset, let’s be Done!” ) You wish to cure both your independent unhappinesses by getting back together. You know that you seem toxic now that so much time has passed since you said Goodbye. You are a questionable person, your old love says, you’re “The Mercury Man” but she agrees to get back together because of the Power of Love that amazed you both in "Rosie Oh" track 10  -  PULLEYS  -  Comfy in Pronoia - (Theme: Pronoia) Sequel to Wide Eyed’s “Paranoia” You enter that wonderful state of bliss from “Rosie Oh” and “Applesauce” and begin using mind-altering drugs in the safety and comfort of your Home. (Lyric: “Pulleys and vines”) You feel the opposite of Paranoia, PRONOIA and feel as though everything is here to help you grow and finally mature with your loved one ever since the days of "Moonjock" as a Youth. As you now have a wonderful psychedelic band, a beautiful partner and mesmerizing hallucinogens in your life. PRONOIA takes over you. (Lyric: “Trees said their smarts aren’t in books they wrote!!!”) It’s in the TREES themselves. The (Lyric: “NATURAL CAGES”) (Lyric: “Like minded people, do they feel afraid, feel afraid?”) You feel sorry for those who are not in this state of Love and Lust with your Beauty.  Your group begins tripping harder, your minds begin growing. (Lyric: “MIND IT GROWS!! MIND IT GROWS!! MIND IT GROWS!!”) You and Rosie make love whilst in the state of Bliss (Lyric: “Different people can they kiss Amazed? kiss AMAZED?”) You think of how far human beings have come and how complex the brain is, so many connections, so many neurons, it’s like (Lyric: Tunnels, and Caves, the humanoid)  (Lyric: “We’re here to help you, are you feeling low?”) You continue using the drugs in order to get High (Lyric: “Feeling low? Feeling low?” ) You reconnect with your childhood (Moonjock) and your love for Nature/Mother Earth’s Food (Applesauce) and with your loved one by your side (Rosie Oh) you become the better person you’ve always wanted to be and head into the Final Track as ONE with EVERYTHING. AND EVERYTHING as ONE. track 11  -   AMANITA  - Future Reflections on Humanity - (Theme: Wisdom)  You ponder starting a new family with your new found Love after getting closer with your parents. Your rebellious youth is behind you and you reminisce about that past and it all makes you Smile and feel grateful that it’s all over.  (Lyric: ” What will happen to the stories from the bog, the trails of the viking”) You and Rosie wish to have one last journey into the realm of Psychedelics. (Lyric: “Art thou coming hiking?”) Thinking about humanity’s past and future (Lyric: “What have we done? What have we done? Fantasy is Falling Down!!!”) Makes you want to be a good person and help others and realize with the help of your loved one, you can live without the Centipede Hz. You, the Collective and Rosie head out on a Spirit Quest with a Shaman named Big Raven (Lyric: ” Big Big Raven) (“His voice HYPNOTIZING”) and recieve Amanita (Amanita is a psychedelic mushroom), heading (Lyric: “To the other places, that we never had, something like a misplaced future, that is old and sad”) You take the Amanita with your lover. Fully aware that it will probably be the last time they venture into that unknown and they’re fine with that. You want to slow down and have a family and some kids and take them on trips just like your parents did in the first track “Moonjock” (Lyric: “There’s nothing to do, Imagination Floating Around”) You both continue building up the Peace in your Mind with the help of Big Raven the Guide (Lyric: “Big Big Raven!!!!  What Have we Done? Fantasy is Falling Down!! She’s Breaking Apart!!”) Now, the last track “Amanita” The Aliens from the Hz tune into Avey Tare, Panda Bear, Geologist, and Deakin’s Ohms and discover that Humanity will be saved because they let The Animal Collective of Earth continue fighting for Change in their Community. The Aliens tuning into the Frequency Centipede Hz allows them to return to the story of the Centipede’s Walks with the Moon. (Lyric: “Oh, What you gunna do? Go into the forest! Until I really can’t remember my name!!”) At the height of their trip, they soar past the trees and through the clouds. Higher than Heaven. (Lyric: “And when I come back down things will be different, And I’m gunna bring back some stories and games!!!”) Who they are doesn’t matter, it’s what they believe in that counts. The Day and Age of the Centipede Hz invading the Consciousness, from your immature days of “Moonjock” to your mature days of “Amanita”, comes to an End, as you and your loved one take a final intake of Bliss and Kiss on the Lips. Maybe the Connection will return one day to check up on your Life… But even if they don’t, that’s alright… because you’ll have the beautiful Rosie by your side. Until the end of Time.

The (Lyric: “NATURAL CAGES”) (Lyric: “Like minded people, do they feel afraid, feel afraid?”) You feel sorry for those who are not in this state of Love and Lust with your Beauty.  Your group begins tripping harder, your minds begin growing. (Lyric: “MIND IT GROWS!! MIND IT GROWS!! MIND IT GROWS!!”) You and Rosie make love whilst in the state of Bliss (Lyric: “Different people can they kiss Amazed? kiss AMAZED?”) You think of how far human beings have come and how complex the brain is, so many connections, so many neurons, it’s like (Lyric: Tunnels, and Caves, the humanoid)  (Lyric: “We’re here to help you, are you feeling low?”) You continue using the drugs in order to get High (Lyric: “Feeling low? Feeling low?” ) You reconnect with your childhood (Moonjock) and your love for Nature/Mother Earth’s Food (Applesauce) and with your loved one by your side (Rosie Oh) you become the better person you’ve always wanted to be and head into the Final Track as ONE with EVERYTHING. AND EVERYTHING as ONE. track 11  -   AMANITA  - Future Reflections on Humanity - (Theme: Wisdom)  You ponder starting a new family with your new found Love after getting closer with your parents. Your rebellious youth is behind you and you reminisce about that past and it all makes you Smile and feel grateful that it’s all over.  (Lyric: ” What will happen to the stories from the bog, the trails of the viking”) You and Rosie wish to have one last journey into the realm of Psychedelics. (Lyric: “Art thou coming hiking?”) Thinking about humanity’s past and future (Lyric: “What have we done? What have we done? Fantasy is Falling Down!!!”) Makes you want to be a good person and help others and realize with the help of your loved one, you can live without the Centipede Hz. You, the Collective and Rosie head out on a Spirit Quest with a Shaman named Big Raven (Lyric: ” Big Big Raven) (“His voice HYPNOTIZING”) and recieve Amanita (Amanita is a psychedelic mushroom), heading (Lyric: “To the other places, that we never had, something like a misplaced future, that is old and sad”) You take the Amanita with your lover. Fully aware that it will probably be the last time they venture into that unknown and they’re fine with that. You want to slow down and have a family and some kids and take them on trips just like your parents did in the first track “Moonjock” (Lyric: “There’s nothing to do, Imagination Floating Around”) You both continue building up the Peace in your Mind with the help of Big Raven the Guide (Lyric: “Big Big Raven!!!!  What Have we Done? Fantasy is Falling Down!! She’s Breaking Apart!!”) Now, the last track “Amanita” The Aliens from the Hz tune into Avey Tare, Panda Bear, Geologist, and Deakin’s Ohms and discover that Humanity will be saved because they let The Animal Collective of Earth continue fighting for Change in their Community. The Aliens tuning into the Frequency Centipede Hz allows them to return to the story of the Centipede’s Walks with the Moon. (Lyric: “Oh, What you gunna do? Go into the forest! Until I really can’t remember my name!!”) At the height of their trip, they soar past the trees and through the clouds. Higher than Heaven. (Lyric: “And when I come back down things will be different, And I’m gunna bring back some stories and games!!!”) Who they are doesn’t matter, it’s what they believe in that counts. The Day and Age of the Centipede Hz invading the Consciousness, from your immature days of “Moonjock” to your mature days of “Amanita”, comes to an End, as you and your loved one take a final intake of Bliss and Kiss on the Lips. Maybe the Connection will return one day to check up on your Life… But even if they don’t, that’s alright… because you’ll have the beautiful Rosie by your side. Until the end of Time.

Mr. Psyche’s CENTIPEDE HZ Analysis This is the Psychedelic Interpretation of Animal Collective’s new album “Centipede Hz’ Enjoy the Story!!! Make sure to play the album as you read to truly get where Mr. Psyche is coming from!!! Peace!! CENTIPEDE HZ by Animal Collective - 1. Moonjock (Youth) - 2. Today’s Supernatural (Society) - 3. Rosie Oh (Relationships & Love) - 4. Applesauce (Marijuana) - 5. Wide Eyed (Paranoia) - 6. Father Time (Death) - 7. New Town Burnout (Fame) - 8. Monkey Riches (Friendships & Money) - 9. Mercury Man (Redemption) - 10. Pulleys (Pronoia) - 11. Amanita (Wisdom) track 1 - MOONJOCK - The Imagination of Children - (Theme: Youth) (Lyric: “This is the new Centipede…”) You are born an Earthling on Planet Earth, with loving parents who let you explore and discover new ways of thinking. You learn about the vastness of the Cosmos. You find comfort in your parents and your youth feels like something from a fairy tale. So much love. So many trips. As you age you dream of Alien Life and believe them to be listening in on your thoughts, (Lyric:”Carolina mark the mile, South of the Border bumper signs and styles I don’t recognize, a weeping willow motel sign, by Georgia I am hypnotized, more batteries for my power ma’am, I’m tuning into radio let it change me till we drive again”) The radio transmission “Centipede Hz” reminds you of these scary alien thoughts. Running to cry on your mother’s shoulder (Lyric:”And in the night time you’ll see, Lean on it! Lean on it! And then we ran out again. Let it out!! Let it Out!!”) She tells you to go to sleep and escape these thoughts (Lyric: Let it out! Let it Out!”) and your hurting emotions and dream of Humanity and it’s Culture. *trippy radio sounds are you tuning out of the Centipede Hz temporarily to dream* You change into something dark and twisted listening to the thoughts of others in these dreams, becoming Supernatural. track 2 - TODAY’S SUPERNATURAL - Escaping the Status Quo - (Theme: Society) Feeling the winds of a new day makes you want to shed your Ego (Lyric: “L-l-l-l-l-l-l-LET GO!!”) and see the Earth and its patrons for how they truly are. You see people’s individuality and love that everyone is different. (“Lyric: I will Welcome you the same”) Whether they’re white, black, asian, homeless, gay, straight…you love everyone in this state (Lyric: “There’s a ruby in your eye and we don’t have to be the same”) (Lyric: “your ohms the sweetest thing inside of you”) You call for humanity to look beyond the mere horizon and gaze into the Promised Lands with you.  (Lyric: “our home is bigger than a mountain view”) As you realize people need to unite in times of crisis and be the “same’ sometimes. (Lyric: Sometimes you gotta go get MAD!! MAD!!!”) The last verse (“Come on L-l-l-l-l-Let Go!”) is Society responding to your protests and state that you will never be the same. (Lyric: “SAME!?!?!”) They scream it at the top of their lungs and you slowly wake into Reality again and realize your in the same position as in your dream. You come into contact with one person who agrees with you and you go on Adventure with them. The Aliens continue listening in on you through the Centipede Hz connection, but they let you live your life for now with your beautiful new Girlfriend, Rosie. track 3  -  ROSIE OH  -  The Power of Love - (Theme: Relationships & Love) As you journey across the World you grow closer with your Loved One and feel as though you are finally free to be the thing you’ve wanted to be since you were a Child. As you grow closer your insecurities begin to come back to you and try to keep her from getting too close. (Lyrics: “You had offered up a ride, so I might not get accosted by the Watery Slide, but i said No”) (Lyric: “I’d rather not had said No, I’d rather not had said No”) You are slowly growing up, slowly changing and you reminisce about times with your friends and feel as though you are leaving them behind. (Lyric: As I left my home I cried, I substituted, figured, tried to reconcile the things I left behind”) Sometimes you and your new love get into problems but you always manage to come back together in the end and look at the Bright Side of Life. You just want to keep her safe. Especially with the Aliens listening in on all of your conversations through the “Hz” You tell your love that you and her are on their own in the world.  You wish to get High above all the World’s problems, so you accept the Relationship. “I’d like to Embrace it! I’d like it Embrace it! I’d like to Embrace it All!” So, you and your new love experiment with Marijuana for the first time, to reach a common ground together. track 4 - APPLESAUCE - Comfy in Cannabis - (Theme: Marijuana) The both of you play around with the drugs of Earth, only to escape the insecurties you face in your Day-to-Day lives. You both feel addicted to the stuff as if it was Food. And because you feel like exploring (urges in you still from “Moonjock”) you choose to have a night out in the City. (Lyric: ” and the kid he picks a good thing, and the chef he makes a good thing, and the mayor eats a good thing”) You begin to trip out and become paranoid with your girl around all the people and choose to smoke some more in the City. As it brings you both closer together. (Lyric: “When you think you dont know you don’t know, you don’t know what comes next”) *you take a smoke* (Lyric: “Ripe and whole we can Move Outside Us!!!” ) The rush makes you feel ecstatic (Lyric: “You’re just a rush to blow open my mind! Blow upon the fire!”) But suddenly the joy you share is brought to a close when The Authorities find you both and take you to Jail. (Lyric: “When you think you dont know you don’t know, you don’t know what comes next”) Your respective families bail you both out but now your Relationships become Strained. The Centipede Hz begins to play with your mind like it did before you met the love of your life track 5 - WIDE EYED  - The Schizophrenic Centipede - (Theme: Paranoia) The paranoia you experienced earlier begins to take a hold of you even within your Dreams. (Lyric: “Cutting her into dream time”) You try to follow the lights of your Love but a Darkness overcomes you. (Lyric: “When you’re sleeping so far away…”) You feel so small in the vast Universe and the only thing bringing you comfort is your loved ones. (Lyric: ” If I could change my mind , I would Change “) You thank your loved one for caring for you in these dark times and  (Lyric: ” How is she not breaking down, oh God! I feel her shaking” ) As days pass, you see your bad mood begin rubbing off on your close friends and continue searching for the Light (Lyric: “How am I still holding on, oh God! I hope I am holding”) Gravity trips you out. How are you still Holding? You feel the Aliens listening in on your thoughts again, your “Ohms” and feel them playing with your Brain Chemistry. Re-connecting to “Centipede Hz” “Earth Lifeforms” You start to shed your fear of Change. (Lyric: “I am Waking Up! Oh God I Hope I am Waking!”) And you tell your loved one that it’s better to separate temporarily before you lose each other forever. You decide to take a Break. (Lyric: “I’m less afraid of Change.”) You both strive to see things more Clearly. You’re now “Wide Eyed, Wide Eyed”  *outro noises* “You’ll be OK, You’ll be OK, You’ll be OK”  But will you? track 6  -  FATHER TIME  -  Leaving your Mark on the Earth While you’re Here Aka. The New Beginning - (Theme: Death) Time is ticking. And now that you’re climbing up out of rock bottom. You feel better and think about your Paranoid Days as if it was such a long time ago. (Lyric: “Pass a long time ago”) You think of the people we’ve lost over time (Lyric: “Where’d they go, Where’d they go now?”) Because your now trying to overcome your depression you stop playing around, smoking weed and doing selfish things (Lyric: “We exorcized the weekend, now all the demons can’t play”)  You think about your life and the fact you only live once. “Time, he’s got real big hands and bigger plans” You head back to an important thing in your childhood for comfort. Music. (From: Moonjock, the radio in your parents car) You decide to become a Musician because you fear death and want a piece of your Soul to live on forever. (Lyric: “And did I remember suitcase (professional musician) and all the things in my head, and all the expectations of doing something SPECIAL! I could be GONE today! But where will they take me?!”) You start a band As you feel it is the Only way to Truly Express Yourself and Have Earth Remember You Forever…And you feel as though the music may reach deep into Outer Space and tell the Aliens what you’re all about so they’ll finally leave you alone for good…. Fame? It’s worth a shot… track 7  -  NEW TOWN BURNOUT  - A Day in the Life of an Artist  - (Theme: Fame) (Lyric: “Will I Make It? Will I Make It?”) Time passes, months pass and You think about the fame you’ve achieved over time. You thinks of your fans and thank them for their support and happiness they’ve given you all these years. Love but also Comfort and a feeling that you can experiment with your music as much as you want and they’ll still believe in you (Lyric: “I’ll take my shoes off…take my coat off”) Mix it up! As you’re jamming with your new friends, some of your old friends meet up with you again (Lyric: “No more little fights”) and you all have a large jam at a nearby Rave.  Filling your hearts with a groovy vibe makes you forget about your tainted past and brings you a sense of Belonging and Understanding. Your friends re-introduce you to Psychedelic Drugs and you enter a complete state of Bliss, a New Town Burnout with your band, Animal Collective. (Lyric: OUT OF MY BODY, OUT OF MY MIND) You feel the Centipede Hz running through your blood and mind, you JAM EVEN LOUDER TO EXPEL THE FORCES.  YOU AND YOUR BAND ARE IN COMPLETE SYNC. IT’S GOOD TO BE BACK!!  DEAKIN’S BACK!! CHYEA!! the evil Alien connection begins to leave you.  (Lyric: “Lift this weight, weight, weight!!! Leave my Light, Light On!!!”) You feel happy but wonder if you can go on without the Centipede Hz track 8  -  MONKEY RICHES  -  The Search for Happiness & Answers - (Theme: Friendships & Money) You’re moving on at an extremely fast pace and question if it is a good thing to move on. You want to connect with the Centipede Hz (Lyric: “I want to get my knees out in the dirt”) The “Ohms” tries to enter you again but it just doesn’t cling now that you’re happy with your band, Animal Collective. You want to travel to the stars and assist the aliens, so you use your music to connect with them. A New Connection. (Lyric: “I don’t want to knock you down”) You ask through your music for someone out there in the Cosmos to recieve and start giving you answers to the secrets the Universe holds. (Lyric: “Where exactly is my heart and where does it start?”) You know you NEED the band but you begin to yearn for something more (Lyric: “I don’t want to knock you down.”) (Lyric: “Monkey Rich? Monkey Rich?”)  The Aliens mock your search for love, all your money and your fame, and claim that they only target people who aren’t afraid to journey into the unknown. They make fun of you for believing you are better than them. “Monkey Rich? Monkey Rich?” Why So Serious? You question the change you’ve made and feel it’s time to return to your Girlfriend, ROSIE. (Lyric: I don’t want to knock you down”) That’s it. Forget the fame. Forget the money. Rosie, oh, she’s all you need… The very thing you’ve been yearning for is for Your one true Love to take you back, even though your misery ruined things months back in “Wide Eyed” Let’s hope she accepts… track 9  -  MERCURY MAN  -  Taking Risks - (Theme: Redemption) You call the Love of your Life, Rosie, and you just want her forgiveness and for her to know you are a better human being. (Lyric: “Two human beings, i’m upset, you’re upset, let’s be Done!” ) You wish to cure both your independent unhappinesses by getting back together. You know that you seem toxic now that so much time has passed since you said Goodbye. You are a questionable person, your old love says, you’re “The Mercury Man” but she agrees to get back together because of the Power of Love that amazed you both in "Rosie Oh" track 10  -  PULLEYS  -  Comfy in Pronoia - (Theme: Pronoia) Sequel to Wide Eyed’s “Paranoia” You enter that wonderful state of bliss from “Rosie Oh” and “Applesauce” and begin using mind-altering drugs in the safety and comfort of your Home. (Lyric: “Pulleys and vines”) You feel the opposite of Paranoia, PRONOIA and feel as though everything is here to help you grow and finally mature with your loved one ever since the days of "Moonjock" as a Youth. As you now have a wonderful psychedelic band, a beautiful partner and mesmerizing hallucinogens in your life. PRONOIA takes over you. (Lyric: “Trees said their smarts aren’t in books they wrote!!!”) It’s in the TREES themselves. The (Lyric: “NATURAL CAGES”) (Lyric: “Like minded people, do they feel afraid, feel afraid?”) You feel sorry for those who are not in this state of Love and Lust with your Beauty.  Your group begins tripping harder, your minds begin growing. (Lyric: “MIND IT GROWS!! MIND IT GROWS!! MIND IT GROWS!!”) You and Rosie make love whilst in the state of Bliss (Lyric: “Different people can they kiss Amazed? kiss AMAZED?”) You think of how far human beings have come and how complex the brain is, so many connections, so many neurons, it’s like (Lyric: Tunnels, and Caves, the humanoid)  (Lyric: “We’re here to help you, are you feeling low?”) You continue using the drugs in order to get High (Lyric: “Feeling low? Feeling low?” ) You reconnect with your childhood (Moonjock) and your love for Nature/Mother Earth’s Food (Applesauce) and with your loved one by your side (Rosie Oh) you become the better person you’ve always wanted to be and head into the Final Track as ONE with EVERYTHING. AND EVERYTHING as ONE. track 11  -   AMANITA  - Future Reflections on Humanity - (Theme: Wisdom)  You ponder starting a new family with your new found Love after getting closer with your parents. Your rebellious youth is behind you and you reminisce about that past and it all makes you Smile and feel grateful that it’s all over.  (Lyric: ” What will happen to the stories from the bog, the trails of the viking”) You and Rosie wish to have one last journey into the realm of Psychedelics. (Lyric: “Art thou coming hiking?”) Thinking about humanity’s past and future (Lyric: “What have we done? What have we done? Fantasy is Falling Down!!!”) Makes you want to be a good person and help others and realize with the help of your loved one, you can live without the Centipede Hz. You, the Collective and Rosie head out on a Spirit Quest with a Shaman named Big Raven (Lyric: ” Big Big Raven) (“His voice HYPNOTIZING”) and recieve Amanita (Amanita is a psychedelic mushroom), heading (Lyric: “To the other places, that we never had, something like a misplaced future, that is old and sad”) You take the Amanita with your lover. Fully aware that it will probably be the last time they venture into that unknown and they’re fine with that. You want to slow down and have a family and some kids and take them on trips just like your parents did in the first track “Moonjock” (Lyric: “There’s nothing to do, Imagination Floating Around”) You both continue building up the Peace in your Mind with the help of Big Raven the Guide (Lyric: “Big Big Raven!!!!  What Have we Done? Fantasy is Falling Down!! She’s Breaking Apart!!”) Now, the last track “Amanita” The Aliens from the Hz tune into Avey Tare, Panda Bear, Geologist, and Deakin’s Ohms and discover that Humanity will be saved because they let The Animal Collective of Earth continue fighting for Change in their Community. The Aliens tuning into the Frequency Centipede Hz allows them to return to the story of the Centipede’s Walks with the Moon. (Lyric: “Oh, What you gunna do? Go into the forest! Until I really can’t remember my name!!”) At the height of their trip, they soar past the trees and through the clouds. Higher than Heaven.

They make fun of you for believing you are better than them. “Monkey Rich? Monkey Rich?” Why So Serious? You question the change you’ve made and feel it’s time to return to your Girlfriend, ROSIE. (Lyric: I don’t want to knock you down”) That’s it. Forget the fame. Forget the money. Rosie, oh, she’s all you need… The very thing you’ve been yearning for is for Your one true Love to take you back, even though your misery ruined things months back in “Wide Eyed” Let’s hope she accepts… track 9  -  MERCURY MAN  -  Taking Risks - (Theme: Redemption) You call the Love of your Life, Rosie, and you just want her forgiveness and for her to know you are a better human being. (Lyric: “Two human beings, i’m upset, you’re upset, let’s be Done!” ) You wish to cure both your independent unhappinesses by getting back together. You know that you seem toxic now that so much time has passed since you said Goodbye. You are a questionable person, your old love says, you’re “The Mercury Man” but she agrees to get back together because of the Power of Love that amazed you both in "Rosie Oh" track 10  -  PULLEYS  -  Comfy in Pronoia - (Theme: Pronoia) Sequel to Wide Eyed’s “Paranoia” You enter that wonderful state of bliss from “Rosie Oh” and “Applesauce” and begin using mind-altering drugs in the safety and comfort of your Home. (Lyric: “Pulleys and vines”) You feel the opposite of Paranoia, PRONOIA and feel as though everything is here to help you grow and finally mature with your loved one ever since the days of "Moonjock" as a Youth. As you now have a wonderful psychedelic band, a beautiful partner and mesmerizing hallucinogens in your life. PRONOIA takes over you. (Lyric: “Trees said their smarts aren’t in books they wrote!!!”) It’s in the TREES themselves. The (Lyric: “NATURAL CAGES”) (Lyric: “Like minded people, do they feel afraid, feel afraid?”) You feel sorry for those who are not in this state of Love and Lust with your Beauty.  Your group begins tripping harder, your minds begin growing. (Lyric: “MIND IT GROWS!! MIND IT GROWS!! MIND IT GROWS!!”) You and Rosie make love whilst in the state of Bliss (Lyric: “Different people can they kiss Amazed? kiss AMAZED?”) You think of how far human beings have come and how complex the brain is, so many connections, so many neurons, it’s like (Lyric: Tunnels, and Caves, the humanoid)  (Lyric: “We’re here to help you, are you feeling low?”) You continue using the drugs in order to get High (Lyric: “Feeling low? Feeling low?” ) You reconnect with your childhood (Moonjock) and your love for Nature/Mother Earth’s Food (Applesauce) and with your loved one by your side (Rosie Oh) you become the better person you’ve always wanted to be and head into the Final Track as ONE with EVERYTHING. AND EVERYTHING as ONE. track 11  -   AMANITA  - Future Reflections on Humanity - (Theme: Wisdom)  You ponder starting a new family with your new found Love after getting closer with your parents. Your rebellious youth is behind you and you reminisce about that past and it all makes you Smile and feel grateful that it’s all over.  (Lyric: ” What will happen to the stories from the bog, the trails of the viking”) You and Rosie wish to have one last journey into the realm of Psychedelics. (Lyric: “Art thou coming hiking?”) Thinking about humanity’s past and future (Lyric: “What have we done? What have we done? Fantasy is Falling Down!!!”) Makes you want to be a good person and help others and realize with the help of your loved one, you can live without the Centipede Hz. You, the Collective and Rosie head out on a Spirit Quest with a Shaman named Big Raven (Lyric: ” Big Big Raven) (“His voice HYPNOTIZING”) and recieve Amanita (Amanita is a psychedelic mushroom), heading (Lyric: “To the other places, that we never had, something like a misplaced future, that is old and sad”) You take the Amanita with your lover. Fully aware that it will probably be the last time they venture into that unknown and they’re fine with that. You want to slow down and have a family and some kids and take them on trips just like your parents did in the first track “Moonjock” (Lyric: “There’s nothing to do, Imagination Floating Around”) You both continue building up the Peace in your Mind with the help of Big Raven the Guide (Lyric: “Big Big Raven!!!!  What Have we Done? Fantasy is Falling Down!! She’s Breaking Apart!!”) Now, the last track “Amanita” The Aliens from the Hz tune into Avey Tare, Panda Bear, Geologist, and Deakin’s Ohms and discover that Humanity will be saved because they let The Animal Collective of Earth continue fighting for Change in their Community. The Aliens tuning into the Frequency Centipede Hz allows them to return to the story of the Centipede’s Walks with the Moon. (Lyric: “Oh, What you gunna do? Go into the forest! Until I really can’t remember my name!!”) At the height of their trip, they soar past the trees and through the clouds. Higher than Heaven. (Lyric: “And when I come back down things will be different, And I’m gunna bring back some stories and games!!!”) Who they are doesn’t matter, it’s what they believe in that counts. The Day and Age of the Centipede Hz invading the Consciousness, from your immature days of “Moonjock” to your mature days of “Amanita”, comes to an End, as you and your loved one take a final intake of Bliss and Kiss on the Lips. Maybe the Connection will return one day to check up on your Life… But even if they don’t, that’s alright… because you’ll have the beautiful Rosie by your side. Until the end of Time.

Mercury Man (Redemption) - 10. Pulleys (Pronoia) - 11. Amanita (Wisdom) track 1 - MOONJOCK - The Imagination of Children - (Theme: Youth) (Lyric: “This is the new Centipede…”) You are born an Earthling on Planet Earth, with loving parents who let you explore and discover new ways of thinking. You learn about the vastness of the Cosmos. You find comfort in your parents and your youth feels like something from a fairy tale. So much love. So many trips. As you age you dream of Alien Life and believe them to be listening in on your thoughts, (Lyric:”Carolina mark the mile, South of the Border bumper signs and styles I don’t recognize, a weeping willow motel sign, by Georgia I am hypnotized, more batteries for my power ma’am, I’m tuning into radio let it change me till we drive again”) The radio transmission “Centipede Hz” reminds you of these scary alien thoughts. Running to cry on your mother’s shoulder (Lyric:”And in the night time you’ll see, Lean on it! Lean on it! And then we ran out again. Let it out!! Let it Out!!”) She tells you to go to sleep and escape these thoughts (Lyric: Let it out! Let it Out!”) and your hurting emotions and dream of Humanity and it’s Culture. *trippy radio sounds are you tuning out of the Centipede Hz temporarily to dream* You change into something dark and twisted listening to the thoughts of others in these dreams, becoming Supernatural. track 2 - TODAY’S SUPERNATURAL - Escaping the Status Quo - (Theme: Society) Feeling the winds of a new day makes you want to shed your Ego (Lyric: “L-l-l-l-l-l-l-LET GO!!”) and see the Earth and its patrons for how they truly are. You see people’s individuality and love that everyone is different. (“Lyric: I will Welcome you the same”) Whether they’re white, black, asian, homeless, gay, straight…you love everyone in this state (Lyric: “There’s a ruby in your eye and we don’t have to be the same”) (Lyric: “your ohms the sweetest thing inside of you”) You call for humanity to look beyond the mere horizon and gaze into the Promised Lands with you.  (Lyric: “our home is bigger than a mountain view”) As you realize people need to unite in times of crisis and be the “same’ sometimes. (Lyric: Sometimes you gotta go get MAD!! MAD!!!”) The last verse (“Come on L-l-l-l-l-Let Go!”) is Society responding to your protests and state that you will never be the same. (Lyric: “SAME!?!?!”) They scream it at the top of their lungs and you slowly wake into Reality again and realize your in the same position as in your dream. You come into contact with one person who agrees with you and you go on Adventure with them. The Aliens continue listening in on you through the Centipede Hz connection, but they let you live your life for now with your beautiful new Girlfriend, Rosie. track 3  -  ROSIE OH  -  The Power of Love - (Theme: Relationships & Love) As you journey across the World you grow closer with your Loved One and feel as though you are finally free to be the thing you’ve wanted to be since you were a Child. As you grow closer your insecurities begin to come back to you and try to keep her from getting too close. (Lyrics: “You had offered up a ride, so I might not get accosted by the Watery Slide, but i said No”) (Lyric: “I’d rather not had said No, I’d rather not had said No”) You are slowly growing up, slowly changing and you reminisce about times with your friends and feel as though you are leaving them behind. (Lyric: As I left my home I cried, I substituted, figured, tried to reconcile the things I left behind”) Sometimes you and your new love get into problems but you always manage to come back together in the end and look at the Bright Side of Life. You just want to keep her safe. Especially with the Aliens listening in on all of your conversations through the “Hz” You tell your love that you and her are on their own in the world.  You wish to get High above all the World’s problems, so you accept the Relationship. “I’d like to Embrace it! I’d like it Embrace it! I’d like to Embrace it All!” So, you and your new love experiment with Marijuana for the first time, to reach a common ground together. track 4 - APPLESAUCE - Comfy in Cannabis - (Theme: Marijuana) The both of you play around with the drugs of Earth, only to escape the insecurties you face in your Day-to-Day lives. You both feel addicted to the stuff as if it was Food. And because you feel like exploring (urges in you still from “Moonjock”) you choose to have a night out in the City. (Lyric: ” and the kid he picks a good thing, and the chef he makes a good thing, and the mayor eats a good thing”) You begin to trip out and become paranoid with your girl around all the people and choose to smoke some more in the City. As it brings you both closer together. (Lyric: “When you think you dont know you don’t know, you don’t know what comes next”) *you take a smoke* (Lyric: “Ripe and whole we can Move Outside Us!!!” ) The rush makes you feel ecstatic (Lyric: “You’re just a rush to blow open my mind! Blow upon the fire!”) But suddenly the joy you share is brought to a close when The Authorities find you both and take you to Jail. (Lyric: “When you think you dont know you don’t know, you don’t know what comes next”) Your respective families bail you both out but now your Relationships become Strained. The Centipede Hz begins to play with your mind like it did before you met the love of your life track 5 - WIDE EYED  - The Schizophrenic Centipede - (Theme: Paranoia) The paranoia you experienced earlier begins to take a hold of you even within your Dreams. (Lyric: “Cutting her into dream time”) You try to follow the lights of your Love but a Darkness overcomes you. (Lyric: “When you’re sleeping so far away…”) You feel so small in the vast Universe and the only thing bringing you comfort is your loved ones. (Lyric: ” If I could change my mind , I would Change “) You thank your loved one for caring for you in these dark times and  (Lyric: ” How is she not breaking down, oh God! I feel her shaking” ) As days pass, you see your bad mood begin rubbing off on your close friends and continue searching for the Light (Lyric: “How am I still holding on, oh God! I hope I am holding”) Gravity trips you out. How are you still Holding? You feel the Aliens listening in on your thoughts again, your “Ohms” and feel them playing with your Brain Chemistry. Re-connecting to “Centipede Hz” “Earth Lifeforms” You start to shed your fear of Change. (Lyric: “I am Waking Up! Oh God I Hope I am Waking!”) And you tell your loved one that it’s better to separate temporarily before you lose each other forever. You decide to take a Break. (Lyric: “I’m less afraid of Change.”) You both strive to see things more Clearly. You’re now “Wide Eyed, Wide Eyed”  *outro noises* “You’ll be OK, You’ll be OK, You’ll be OK”  But will you? track 6  -  FATHER TIME  -  Leaving your Mark on the Earth While you’re Here Aka. The New Beginning - (Theme: Death) Time is ticking. And now that you’re climbing up out of rock bottom. You feel better and think about your Paranoid Days as if it was such a long time ago. (Lyric: “Pass a long time ago”) You think of the people we’ve lost over time (Lyric: “Where’d they go, Where’d they go now?”) Because your now trying to overcome your depression you stop playing around, smoking weed and doing selfish things (Lyric: “We exorcized the weekend, now all the demons can’t play”)  You think about your life and the fact you only live once. “Time, he’s got real big hands and bigger plans” You head back to an important thing in your childhood for comfort. Music. (From: Moonjock, the radio in your parents car) You decide to become a Musician because you fear death and want a piece of your Soul to live on forever. (Lyric: “And did I remember suitcase (professional musician) and all the things in my head, and all the expectations of doing something SPECIAL! I could be GONE today! But where will they take me?!”) You start a band As you feel it is the Only way to Truly Express Yourself and Have Earth Remember You Forever…And you feel as though the music may reach deep into Outer Space and tell the Aliens what you’re all about so they’ll finally leave you alone for good…. Fame? It’s worth a shot… track 7  -  NEW TOWN BURNOUT  - A Day in the Life of an Artist  - (Theme: Fame) (Lyric: “Will I Make It? Will I Make It?”) Time passes, months pass and You think about the fame you’ve achieved over time. You thinks of your fans and thank them for their support and happiness they’ve given you all these years. Love but also Comfort and a feeling that you can experiment with your music as much as you want and they’ll still believe in you (Lyric: “I’ll take my shoes off…take my coat off”) Mix it up! As you’re jamming with your new friends, some of your old friends meet up with you again (Lyric: “No more little fights”) and you all have a large jam at a nearby Rave.  Filling your hearts with a groovy vibe makes you forget about your tainted past and brings you a sense of Belonging and Understanding. Your friends re-introduce you to Psychedelic Drugs and you enter a complete state of Bliss, a New Town Burnout with your band, Animal Collective. (Lyric: OUT OF MY BODY, OUT OF MY MIND) You feel the Centipede Hz running through your blood and mind, you JAM EVEN LOUDER TO EXPEL THE FORCES.  YOU AND YOUR BAND ARE IN COMPLETE SYNC. IT’S GOOD TO BE BACK!!  DEAKIN’S BACK!! CHYEA!! the evil Alien connection begins to leave you.  (Lyric: “Lift this weight, weight, weight!!! Leave my Light, Light On!!!”) You feel happy but wonder if you can go on without the Centipede Hz track 8  -  MONKEY RICHES  -  The Search for Happiness & Answers - (Theme: Friendships & Money) You’re moving on at an extremely fast pace and question if it is a good thing to move on. You want to connect with the Centipede Hz (Lyric: “I want to get my knees out in the dirt”) The “Ohms” tries to enter you again but it just doesn’t cling now that you’re happy with your band, Animal Collective. You want to travel to the stars and assist the aliens, so you use your music to connect with them. A New Connection. (Lyric: “I don’t want to knock you down”) You ask through your music for someone out there in the Cosmos to recieve and start giving you answers to the secrets the Universe holds. (Lyric: “Where exactly is my heart and where does it start?”) You know you NEED the band but you begin to yearn for something more (Lyric: “I don’t want to knock you down.”) (Lyric: “Monkey Rich? Monkey Rich?”)  The Aliens mock your search for love, all your money and your fame, and claim that they only target people who aren’t afraid to journey into the unknown. They make fun of you for believing you are better than them. “Monkey Rich? Monkey Rich?” Why So Serious? You question the change you’ve made and feel it’s time to return to your Girlfriend, ROSIE. (Lyric: I don’t want to knock you down”) That’s it. Forget the fame. Forget the money. Rosie, oh, she’s all you need… The very thing you’ve been yearning for is for Your one true Love to take you back, even though your misery ruined things months back in “Wide Eyed” Let’s hope she accepts… track 9  -  MERCURY MAN  -  Taking Risks - (Theme: Redemption) You call the Love of your Life, Rosie, and you just want her forgiveness and for her to know you are a better human being. (Lyric: “Two human beings, i’m upset, you’re upset, let’s be Done!” ) You wish to cure both your independent unhappinesses by getting back together. You know that you seem toxic now that so much time has passed since you said Goodbye. You are a questionable person, your old love says, you’re “The Mercury Man” but she agrees to get back together because of the Power of Love that amazed you both in "Rosie Oh" track 10  -  PULLEYS  -  Comfy in Pronoia - (Theme: Pronoia) Sequel to Wide Eyed’s “Paranoia” You enter that wonderful state of bliss from “Rosie Oh” and “Applesauce” and begin using mind-altering drugs in the safety and comfort of your Home.

Love but also Comfort and a feeling that you can experiment with your music as much as you want and they’ll still believe in you (Lyric: “I’ll take my shoes off…take my coat off”) Mix it up! As you’re jamming with your new friends, some of your old friends meet up with you again (Lyric: “No more little fights”) and you all have a large jam at a nearby Rave.  Filling your hearts with a groovy vibe makes you forget about your tainted past and brings you a sense of Belonging and Understanding. Your friends re-introduce you to Psychedelic Drugs and you enter a complete state of Bliss, a New Town Burnout with your band, Animal Collective. (Lyric: OUT OF MY BODY, OUT OF MY MIND) You feel the Centipede Hz running through your blood and mind, you JAM EVEN LOUDER TO EXPEL THE FORCES.  YOU AND YOUR BAND ARE IN COMPLETE SYNC. IT’S GOOD TO BE BACK!!  DEAKIN’S BACK!! CHYEA!! the evil Alien connection begins to leave you.  (Lyric: “Lift this weight, weight, weight!!! Leave my Light, Light On!!!”) You feel happy but wonder if you can go on without the Centipede Hz track 8  -  MONKEY RICHES  -  The Search for Happiness & Answers - (Theme: Friendships & Money) You’re moving on at an extremely fast pace and question if it is a good thing to move on. You want to connect with the Centipede Hz (Lyric: “I want to get my knees out in the dirt”) The “Ohms” tries to enter you again but it just doesn’t cling now that you’re happy with your band, Animal Collective. You want to travel to the stars and assist the aliens, so you use your music to connect with them. A New Connection. (Lyric: “I don’t want to knock you down”) You ask through your music for someone out there in the Cosmos to recieve and start giving you answers to the secrets the Universe holds. (Lyric: “Where exactly is my heart and where does it start?”) You know you NEED the band but you begin to yearn for something more (Lyric: “I don’t want to knock you down.”) (Lyric: “Monkey Rich? Monkey Rich?”)  The Aliens mock your search for love, all your money and your fame, and claim that they only target people who aren’t afraid to journey into the unknown. They make fun of you for believing you are better than them. “Monkey Rich? Monkey Rich?” Why So Serious? You question the change you’ve made and feel it’s time to return to your Girlfriend, ROSIE. (Lyric: I don’t want to knock you down”) That’s it. Forget the fame. Forget the money. Rosie, oh, she’s all you need… The very thing you’ve been yearning for is for Your one true Love to take you back, even though your misery ruined things months back in “Wide Eyed” Let’s hope she accepts… track 9  -  MERCURY MAN  -  Taking Risks - (Theme: Redemption) You call the Love of your Life, Rosie, and you just want her forgiveness and for her to know you are a better human being. (Lyric: “Two human beings, i’m upset, you’re upset, let’s be Done!” ) You wish to cure both your independent unhappinesses by getting back together. You know that you seem toxic now that so much time has passed since you said Goodbye. You are a questionable person, your old love says, you’re “The Mercury Man” but she agrees to get back together because of the Power of Love that amazed you both in "Rosie Oh" track 10  -  PULLEYS  -  Comfy in Pronoia - (Theme: Pronoia) Sequel to Wide Eyed’s “Paranoia” You enter that wonderful state of bliss from “Rosie Oh” and “Applesauce” and begin using mind-altering drugs in the safety and comfort of your Home. (Lyric: “Pulleys and vines”) You feel the opposite of Paranoia, PRONOIA and feel as though everything is here to help you grow and finally mature with your loved one ever since the days of "Moonjock" as a Youth. As you now have a wonderful psychedelic band, a beautiful partner and mesmerizing hallucinogens in your life. PRONOIA takes over you. (Lyric: “Trees said their smarts aren’t in books they wrote!!!”) It’s in the TREES themselves. The (Lyric: “NATURAL CAGES”) (Lyric: “Like minded people, do they feel afraid, feel afraid?”) You feel sorry for those who are not in this state of Love and Lust with your Beauty.  Your group begins tripping harder, your minds begin growing. (Lyric: “MIND IT GROWS!! MIND IT GROWS!! MIND IT GROWS!!”) You and Rosie make love whilst in the state of Bliss (Lyric: “Different people can they kiss Amazed? kiss AMAZED?”) You think of how far human beings have come and how complex the brain is, so many connections, so many neurons, it’s like (Lyric: Tunnels, and Caves, the humanoid)  (Lyric: “We’re here to help you, are you feeling low?”) You continue using the drugs in order to get High (Lyric: “Feeling low? Feeling low?” ) You reconnect with your childhood (Moonjock) and your love for Nature/Mother Earth’s Food (Applesauce) and with your loved one by your side (Rosie Oh) you become the better person you’ve always wanted to be and head into the Final Track as ONE with EVERYTHING. AND EVERYTHING as ONE. track 11  -   AMANITA  - Future Reflections on Humanity - (Theme: Wisdom)  You ponder starting a new family with your new found Love after getting closer with your parents. Your rebellious youth is behind you and you reminisce about that past and it all makes you Smile and feel grateful that it’s all over.  (Lyric: ” What will happen to the stories from the bog, the trails of the viking”) You and Rosie wish to have one last journey into the realm of Psychedelics. (Lyric: “Art thou coming hiking?”) Thinking about humanity’s past and future (Lyric: “What have we done? What have we done? Fantasy is Falling Down!!!”) Makes you want to be a good person and help others and realize with the help of your loved one, you can live without the Centipede Hz. You, the Collective and Rosie head out on a Spirit Quest with a Shaman named Big Raven (Lyric: ” Big Big Raven) (“His voice HYPNOTIZING”) and recieve Amanita (Amanita is a psychedelic mushroom), heading (Lyric: “To the other places, that we never had, something like a misplaced future, that is old and sad”) You take the Amanita with your lover. Fully aware that it will probably be the last time they venture into that unknown and they’re fine with that. You want to slow down and have a family and some kids and take them on trips just like your parents did in the first track “Moonjock” (Lyric: “There’s nothing to do, Imagination Floating Around”) You both continue building up the Peace in your Mind with the help of Big Raven the Guide (Lyric: “Big Big Raven!!!!  What Have we Done? Fantasy is Falling Down!! She’s Breaking Apart!!”) Now, the last track “Amanita” The Aliens from the Hz tune into Avey Tare, Panda Bear, Geologist, and Deakin’s Ohms and discover that Humanity will be saved because they let The Animal Collective of Earth continue fighting for Change in their Community. The Aliens tuning into the Frequency Centipede Hz allows them to return to the story of the Centipede’s Walks with the Moon. (Lyric: “Oh, What you gunna do? Go into the forest! Until I really can’t remember my name!!”) At the height of their trip, they soar past the trees and through the clouds. Higher than Heaven. (Lyric: “And when I come back down things will be different, And I’m gunna bring back some stories and games!!!”) Who they are doesn’t matter, it’s what they believe in that counts. The Day and Age of the Centipede Hz invading the Consciousness, from your immature days of “Moonjock” to your mature days of “Amanita”, comes to an End, as you and your loved one take a final intake of Bliss and Kiss on the Lips. Maybe the Connection will return one day to check up on your Life… But even if they don’t, that’s alright… because you’ll have the beautiful Rosie by your side. Until the end of Time.

Make sure to play the album as you read to truly get where Mr. Psyche is coming from!!! Peace!! CENTIPEDE HZ by Animal Collective - 1. Moonjock (Youth) - 2. Today’s Supernatural (Society) - 3. Rosie Oh (Relationships & Love) - 4. Applesauce (Marijuana) - 5. Wide Eyed (Paranoia) - 6. Father Time (Death) - 7. New Town Burnout (Fame) - 8. Monkey Riches (Friendships & Money) - 9. Mercury Man (Redemption) - 10. Pulleys (Pronoia) - 11. Amanita (Wisdom) track 1 - MOONJOCK - The Imagination of Children - (Theme: Youth) (Lyric: “This is the new Centipede…”) You are born an Earthling on Planet Earth, with loving parents who let you explore and discover new ways of thinking. You learn about the vastness of the Cosmos. You find comfort in your parents and your youth feels like something from a fairy tale. So much love. So many trips. As you age you dream of Alien Life and believe them to be listening in on your thoughts, (Lyric:”Carolina mark the mile, South of the Border bumper signs and styles I don’t recognize, a weeping willow motel sign, by Georgia I am hypnotized, more batteries for my power ma’am, I’m tuning into radio let it change me till we drive again”) The radio transmission “Centipede Hz” reminds you of these scary alien thoughts. Running to cry on your mother’s shoulder (Lyric:”And in the night time you’ll see, Lean on it! Lean on it! And then we ran out again. Let it out!! Let it Out!!”) She tells you to go to sleep and escape these thoughts (Lyric: Let it out! Let it Out!”) and your hurting emotions and dream of Humanity and it’s Culture. *trippy radio sounds are you tuning out of the Centipede Hz temporarily to dream* You change into something dark and twisted listening to the thoughts of others in these dreams, becoming Supernatural. track 2 - TODAY’S SUPERNATURAL - Escaping the Status Quo - (Theme: Society) Feeling the winds of a new day makes you want to shed your Ego (Lyric: “L-l-l-l-l-l-l-LET GO!!”) and see the Earth and its patrons for how they truly are. You see people’s individuality and love that everyone is different. (“Lyric: I will Welcome you the same”) Whether they’re white, black, asian, homeless, gay, straight…you love everyone in this state (Lyric: “There’s a ruby in your eye and we don’t have to be the same”) (Lyric: “your ohms the sweetest thing inside of you”) You call for humanity to look beyond the mere horizon and gaze into the Promised Lands with you.  (Lyric: “our home is bigger than a mountain view”) As you realize people need to unite in times of crisis and be the “same’ sometimes. (Lyric: Sometimes you gotta go get MAD!! MAD!!!”) The last verse (“Come on L-l-l-l-l-Let Go!”) is Society responding to your protests and state that you will never be the same. (Lyric: “SAME!?!?!”) They scream it at the top of their lungs and you slowly wake into Reality again and realize your in the same position as in your dream. You come into contact with one person who agrees with you and you go on Adventure with them. The Aliens continue listening in on you through the Centipede Hz connection, but they let you live your life for now with your beautiful new Girlfriend, Rosie. track 3  -  ROSIE OH  -  The Power of Love - (Theme: Relationships & Love) As you journey across the World you grow closer with your Loved One and feel as though you are finally free to be the thing you’ve wanted to be since you were a Child. As you grow closer your insecurities begin to come back to you and try to keep her from getting too close. (Lyrics: “You had offered up a ride, so I might not get accosted by the Watery Slide, but i said No”) (Lyric: “I’d rather not had said No, I’d rather not had said No”) You are slowly growing up, slowly changing and you reminisce about times with your friends and feel as though you are leaving them behind. (Lyric: As I left my home I cried, I substituted, figured, tried to reconcile the things I left behind”) Sometimes you and your new love get into problems but you always manage to come back together in the end and look at the Bright Side of Life. You just want to keep her safe. Especially with the Aliens listening in on all of your conversations through the “Hz” You tell your love that you and her are on their own in the world.  You wish to get High above all the World’s problems, so you accept the Relationship. “I’d like to Embrace it! I’d like it Embrace it! I’d like to Embrace it All!” So, you and your new love experiment with Marijuana for the first time, to reach a common ground together. track 4 - APPLESAUCE - Comfy in Cannabis - (Theme: Marijuana) The both of you play around with the drugs of Earth, only to escape the insecurties you face in your Day-to-Day lives. You both feel addicted to the stuff as if it was Food. And because you feel like exploring (urges in you still from “Moonjock”) you choose to have a night out in the City. (Lyric: ” and the kid he picks a good thing, and the chef he makes a good thing, and the mayor eats a good thing”) You begin to trip out and become paranoid with your girl around all the people and choose to smoke some more in the City. As it brings you both closer together. (Lyric: “When you think you dont know you don’t know, you don’t know what comes next”) *you take a smoke* (Lyric: “Ripe and whole we can Move Outside Us!!!” ) The rush makes you feel ecstatic (Lyric: “You’re just a rush to blow open my mind! Blow upon the fire!”) But suddenly the joy you share is brought to a close when The Authorities find you both and take you to Jail. (Lyric: “When you think you dont know you don’t know, you don’t know what comes next”) Your respective families bail you both out but now your Relationships become Strained. The Centipede Hz begins to play with your mind like it did before you met the love of your life track 5 - WIDE EYED  - The Schizophrenic Centipede - (Theme: Paranoia) The paranoia you experienced earlier begins to take a hold of you even within your Dreams. (Lyric: “Cutting her into dream time”) You try to follow the lights of your Love but a Darkness overcomes you. (Lyric: “When you’re sleeping so far away…”) You feel so small in the vast Universe and the only thing bringing you comfort is your loved ones. (Lyric: ” If I could change my mind , I would Change “) You thank your loved one for caring for you in these dark times and  (Lyric: ” How is she not breaking down, oh God! I feel her shaking” ) As days pass, you see your bad mood begin rubbing off on your close friends and continue searching for the Light (Lyric: “How am I still holding on, oh God! I hope I am holding”) Gravity trips you out. How are you still Holding? You feel the Aliens listening in on your thoughts again, your “Ohms” and feel them playing with your Brain Chemistry. Re-connecting to “Centipede Hz” “Earth Lifeforms” You start to shed your fear of Change. (Lyric: “I am Waking Up! Oh God I Hope I am Waking!”) And you tell your loved one that it’s better to separate temporarily before you lose each other forever. You decide to take a Break. (Lyric: “I’m less afraid of Change.”) You both strive to see things more Clearly. You’re now “Wide Eyed, Wide Eyed”  *outro noises* “You’ll be OK, You’ll be OK, You’ll be OK”  But will you? track 6  -  FATHER TIME  -  Leaving your Mark on the Earth While you’re Here Aka. The New Beginning - (Theme: Death) Time is ticking. And now that you’re climbing up out of rock bottom. You feel better and think about your Paranoid Days as if it was such a long time ago. (Lyric: “Pass a long time ago”) You think of the people we’ve lost over time (Lyric: “Where’d they go, Where’d they go now?”) Because your now trying to overcome your depression you stop playing around, smoking weed and doing selfish things (Lyric: “We exorcized the weekend, now all the demons can’t play”)  You think about your life and the fact you only live once. “Time, he’s got real big hands and bigger plans” You head back to an important thing in your childhood for comfort. Music. (From: Moonjock, the radio in your parents car) You decide to become a Musician because you fear death and want a piece of your Soul to live on forever. (Lyric: “And did I remember suitcase (professional musician) and all the things in my head, and all the expectations of doing something SPECIAL! I could be GONE today! But where will they take me?!”) You start a band As you feel it is the Only way to Truly Express Yourself and Have Earth Remember You Forever…And you feel as though the music may reach deep into Outer Space and tell the Aliens what you’re all about so they’ll finally leave you alone for good…. Fame? It’s worth a shot… track 7  -  NEW TOWN BURNOUT  - A Day in the Life of an Artist  - (Theme: Fame) (Lyric: “Will I Make It? Will I Make It?”) Time passes, months pass and You think about the fame you’ve achieved over time. You thinks of your fans and thank them for their support and happiness they’ve given you all these years. Love but also Comfort and a feeling that you can experiment with your music as much as you want and they’ll still believe in you (Lyric: “I’ll take my shoes off…take my coat off”) Mix it up! As you’re jamming with your new friends, some of your old friends meet up with you again (Lyric: “No more little fights”) and you all have a large jam at a nearby Rave.  Filling your hearts with a groovy vibe makes you forget about your tainted past and brings you a sense of Belonging and Understanding. Your friends re-introduce you to Psychedelic Drugs and you enter a complete state of Bliss, a New Town Burnout with your band, Animal Collective. (Lyric: OUT OF MY BODY, OUT OF MY MIND) You feel the Centipede Hz running through your blood and mind, you JAM EVEN LOUDER TO EXPEL THE FORCES.  YOU AND YOUR BAND ARE IN COMPLETE SYNC. IT’S GOOD TO BE BACK!!  DEAKIN’S BACK!! CHYEA!! the evil Alien connection begins to leave you.  (Lyric: “Lift this weight, weight, weight!!! Leave my Light, Light On!!!”) You feel happy but wonder if you can go on without the Centipede Hz track 8  -  MONKEY RICHES  -  The Search for Happiness & Answers - (Theme: Friendships & Money) You’re moving on at an extremely fast pace and question if it is a good thing to move on. You want to connect with the Centipede Hz (Lyric: “I want to get my knees out in the dirt”) The “Ohms” tries to enter you again but it just doesn’t cling now that you’re happy with your band, Animal Collective. You want to travel to the stars and assist the aliens, so you use your music to connect with them. A New Connection. (Lyric: “I don’t want to knock you down”) You ask through your music for someone out there in the Cosmos to recieve and start giving you answers to the secrets the Universe holds.

You’re now “Wide Eyed, Wide Eyed”  *outro noises* “You’ll be OK, You’ll be OK, You’ll be OK”  But will you? track 6  -  FATHER TIME  -  Leaving your Mark on the Earth While you’re Here Aka. The New Beginning - (Theme: Death) Time is ticking. And now that you’re climbing up out of rock bottom. You feel better and think about your Paranoid Days as if it was such a long time ago. (Lyric: “Pass a long time ago”) You think of the people we’ve lost over time (Lyric: “Where’d they go, Where’d they go now?”) Because your now trying to overcome your depression you stop playing around, smoking weed and doing selfish things (Lyric: “We exorcized the weekend, now all the demons can’t play”)  You think about your life and the fact you only live once. “Time, he’s got real big hands and bigger plans” You head back to an important thing in your childhood for comfort. Music. (From: Moonjock, the radio in your parents car) You decide to become a Musician because you fear death and want a piece of your Soul to live on forever. (Lyric: “And did I remember suitcase (professional musician) and all the things in my head, and all the expectations of doing something SPECIAL! I could be GONE today! But where will they take me?!”) You start a band As you feel it is the Only way to Truly Express Yourself and Have Earth Remember You Forever…And you feel as though the music may reach deep into Outer Space and tell the Aliens what you’re all about so they’ll finally leave you alone for good…. Fame? It’s worth a shot… track 7  -  NEW TOWN BURNOUT  - A Day in the Life of an Artist  - (Theme: Fame) (Lyric: “Will I Make It? Will I Make It?”) Time passes, months pass and You think about the fame you’ve achieved over time. You thinks of your fans and thank them for their support and happiness they’ve given you all these years. Love but also Comfort and a feeling that you can experiment with your music as much as you want and they’ll still believe in you (Lyric: “I’ll take my shoes off…take my coat off”) Mix it up! As you’re jamming with your new friends, some of your old friends meet up with you again (Lyric: “No more little fights”) and you all have a large jam at a nearby Rave.  Filling your hearts with a groovy vibe makes you forget about your tainted past and brings you a sense of Belonging and Understanding. Your friends re-introduce you to Psychedelic Drugs and you enter a complete state of Bliss, a New Town Burnout with your band, Animal Collective. (Lyric: OUT OF MY BODY, OUT OF MY MIND) You feel the Centipede Hz running through your blood and mind, you JAM EVEN LOUDER TO EXPEL THE FORCES.  YOU AND YOUR BAND ARE IN COMPLETE SYNC. IT’S GOOD TO BE BACK!!  DEAKIN’S BACK!! CHYEA!! the evil Alien connection begins to leave you.  (Lyric: “Lift this weight, weight, weight!!! Leave my Light, Light On!!!”) You feel happy but wonder if you can go on without the Centipede Hz track 8  -  MONKEY RICHES  -  The Search for Happiness & Answers - (Theme: Friendships & Money) You’re moving on at an extremely fast pace and question if it is a good thing to move on. You want to connect with the Centipede Hz (Lyric: “I want to get my knees out in the dirt”) The “Ohms” tries to enter you again but it just doesn’t cling now that you’re happy with your band, Animal Collective. You want to travel to the stars and assist the aliens, so you use your music to connect with them. A New Connection. (Lyric: “I don’t want to knock you down”) You ask through your music for someone out there in the Cosmos to recieve and start giving you answers to the secrets the Universe holds. (Lyric: “Where exactly is my heart and where does it start?”) You know you NEED the band but you begin to yearn for something more (Lyric: “I don’t want to knock you down.”) (Lyric: “Monkey Rich? Monkey Rich?”)  The Aliens mock your search for love, all your money and your fame, and claim that they only target people who aren’t afraid to journey into the unknown. They make fun of you for believing you are better than them. “Monkey Rich? Monkey Rich?” Why So Serious? You question the change you’ve made and feel it’s time to return to your Girlfriend, ROSIE. (Lyric: I don’t want to knock you down”) That’s it. Forget the fame. Forget the money. Rosie, oh, she’s all you need… The very thing you’ve been yearning for is for Your one true Love to take you back, even though your misery ruined things months back in “Wide Eyed” Let’s hope she accepts… track 9  -  MERCURY MAN  -  Taking Risks - (Theme: Redemption) You call the Love of your Life, Rosie, and you just want her forgiveness and for her to know you are a better human being. (Lyric: “Two human beings, i’m upset, you’re upset, let’s be Done!” ) You wish to cure both your independent unhappinesses by getting back together. You know that you seem toxic now that so much time has passed since you said Goodbye. You are a questionable person, your old love says, you’re “The Mercury Man” but she agrees to get back together because of the Power of Love that amazed you both in "Rosie Oh" track 10  -  PULLEYS  -  Comfy in Pronoia - (Theme: Pronoia) Sequel to Wide Eyed’s “Paranoia” You enter that wonderful state of bliss from “Rosie Oh” and “Applesauce” and begin using mind-altering drugs in the safety and comfort of your Home. (Lyric: “Pulleys and vines”) You feel the opposite of Paranoia, PRONOIA and feel as though everything is here to help you grow and finally mature with your loved one ever since the days of "Moonjock" as a Youth. As you now have a wonderful psychedelic band, a beautiful partner and mesmerizing hallucinogens in your life. PRONOIA takes over you. (Lyric: “Trees said their smarts aren’t in books they wrote!!!”) It’s in the TREES themselves. The (Lyric: “NATURAL CAGES”) (Lyric: “Like minded people, do they feel afraid, feel afraid?”) You feel sorry for those who are not in this state of Love and Lust with your Beauty.  Your group begins tripping harder, your minds begin growing. (Lyric: “MIND IT GROWS!! MIND IT GROWS!! MIND IT GROWS!!”) You and Rosie make love whilst in the state of Bliss (Lyric: “Different people can they kiss Amazed? kiss AMAZED?”) You think of how far human beings have come and how complex the brain is, so many connections, so many neurons, it’s like (Lyric: Tunnels, and Caves, the humanoid)  (Lyric: “We’re here to help you, are you feeling low?”) You continue using the drugs in order to get High (Lyric: “Feeling low? Feeling low?” ) You reconnect with your childhood (Moonjock) and your love for Nature/Mother Earth’s Food (Applesauce) and with your loved one by your side (Rosie Oh) you become the better person you’ve always wanted to be and head into the Final Track as ONE with EVERYTHING. AND EVERYTHING as ONE. track 11  -   AMANITA  - Future Reflections on Humanity - (Theme: Wisdom)  You ponder starting a new family with your new found Love after getting closer with your parents. Your rebellious youth is behind you and you reminisce about that past and it all makes you Smile and feel grateful that it’s all over.  (Lyric: ” What will happen to the stories from the bog, the trails of the viking”) You and Rosie wish to have one last journey into the realm of Psychedelics. (Lyric: “Art thou coming hiking?”) Thinking about humanity’s past and future (Lyric: “What have we done? What have we done? Fantasy is Falling Down!!!”) Makes you want to be a good person and help others and realize with the help of your loved one, you can live without the Centipede Hz. You, the Collective and Rosie head out on a Spirit Quest with a Shaman named Big Raven (Lyric: ” Big Big Raven) (“His voice HYPNOTIZING”) and recieve Amanita (Amanita is a psychedelic mushroom), heading (Lyric: “To the other places, that we never had, something like a misplaced future, that is old and sad”) You take the Amanita with your lover. Fully aware that it will probably be the last time they venture into that unknown and they’re fine with that. You want to slow down and have a family and some kids and take them on trips just like your parents did in the first track “Moonjock” (Lyric: “There’s nothing to do, Imagination Floating Around”) You both continue building up the Peace in your Mind with the help of Big Raven the Guide (Lyric: “Big Big Raven!!!!  What Have we Done? Fantasy is Falling Down!! She’s Breaking Apart!!”) Now, the last track “Amanita” The Aliens from the Hz tune into Avey Tare, Panda Bear, Geologist, and Deakin’s Ohms and discover that Humanity will be saved because they let The Animal Collective of Earth continue fighting for Change in their Community. The Aliens tuning into the Frequency Centipede Hz allows them to return to the story of the Centipede’s Walks with the Moon. (Lyric: “Oh, What you gunna do? Go into the forest! Until I really can’t remember my name!!”) At the height of their trip, they soar past the trees and through the clouds. Higher than Heaven. (Lyric: “And when I come back down things will be different, And I’m gunna bring back some stories and games!!!”) Who they are doesn’t matter, it’s what they believe in that counts. The Day and Age of the Centipede Hz invading the Consciousness, from your immature days of “Moonjock” to your mature days of “Amanita”, comes to an End, as you and your loved one take a final intake of Bliss and Kiss on the Lips. Maybe the Connection will return one day to check up on your Life… But even if they don’t, that’s alright… because you’ll have the beautiful Rosie by your side. Until the end of Time.

Animal Collective – Amanita Lyrics

11 years ago

Mr. Psyche’s CENTIPEDE HZ Analysis This is the Psychedelic Interpretation of Animal Collective’s new album “Centipede Hz’ Enjoy the Story!!! Make sure to play the album as you read to truly get where Mr. Psyche is coming from!!! Peace!! CENTIPEDE HZ by Animal Collective - 1. Moonjock (Youth) - 2. Today’s Supernatural (Society) - 3. Rosie Oh (Relationships & Love) - 4. Applesauce (Marijuana) - 5. Wide Eyed (Paranoia) - 6. Father Time (Death) - 7. New Town Burnout (Fame) - 8. Monkey Riches (Friendships & Money) - 9. Mercury Man (Redemption) - 10. Pulleys (Pronoia) - 11. Amanita (Wisdom) track 1 - MOONJOCK - The Imagination of Children - (Theme: Youth) (Lyric: “This is the new Centipede…”) You are born an Earthling on Planet Earth, with loving parents who let you explore and discover new ways of thinking. You learn about the vastness of the Cosmos. You find comfort in your parents and your youth feels like something from a fairy tale. So much love. So many trips. As you age you dream of Alien Life and believe them to be listening in on your thoughts, (Lyric:”Carolina mark the mile, South of the Border bumper signs and styles I don’t recognize, a weeping willow motel sign, by Georgia I am hypnotized, more batteries for my power ma’am, I’m tuning into radio let it change me till we drive again”) The radio transmission “Centipede Hz” reminds you of these scary alien thoughts. Running to cry on your mother’s shoulder (Lyric:”And in the night time you’ll see, Lean on it! Lean on it! And then we ran out again. Let it out!! Let it Out!!”) She tells you to go to sleep and escape these thoughts (Lyric: Let it out! Let it Out!”) and your hurting emotions and dream of Humanity and it’s Culture. *trippy radio sounds are you tuning out of the Centipede Hz temporarily to dream* You change into something dark and twisted listening to the thoughts of others in these dreams, becoming Supernatural. track 2 - TODAY’S SUPERNATURAL - Escaping the Status Quo - (Theme: Society) Feeling the winds of a new day makes you want to shed your Ego (Lyric: “L-l-l-l-l-l-l-LET GO!!”) and see the Earth and its patrons for how they truly are. You see people’s individuality and love that everyone is different. (“Lyric: I will Welcome you the same”) Whether they’re white, black, asian, homeless, gay, straight…you love everyone in this state (Lyric: “There’s a ruby in your eye and we don’t have to be the same”) (Lyric: “your ohms the sweetest thing inside of you”) You call for humanity to look beyond the mere horizon and gaze into the Promised Lands with you.  (Lyric: “our home is bigger than a mountain view”) As you realize people need to unite in times of crisis and be the “same’ sometimes. (Lyric: Sometimes you gotta go get MAD!! MAD!!!”) The last verse (“Come on L-l-l-l-l-Let Go!”) is Society responding to your protests and state that you will never be the same. (Lyric: “SAME!?!?!”) They scream it at the top of their lungs and you slowly wake into Reality again and realize your in the same position as in your dream. You come into contact with one person who agrees with you and you go on Adventure with them. The Aliens continue listening in on you through the Centipede Hz connection, but they let you live your life for now with your beautiful new Girlfriend, Rosie. track 3  -  ROSIE OH  -  The Power of Love - (Theme: Relationships & Love) As you journey across the World you grow closer with your Loved One and feel as though you are finally free to be the thing you’ve wanted to be since you were a Child. As you grow closer your insecurities begin to come back to you and try to keep her from getting too close. (Lyrics: “You had offered up a ride, so I might not get accosted by the Watery Slide, but i said No”) (Lyric: “I’d rather not had said No, I’d rather not had said No”) You are slowly growing up, slowly changing and you reminisce about times with your friends and feel as though you are leaving them behind. (Lyric: As I left my home I cried, I substituted, figured, tried to reconcile the things I left behind”) Sometimes you and your new love get into problems but you always manage to come back together in the end and look at the Bright Side of Life. You just want to keep her safe. Especially with the Aliens listening in on all of your conversations through the “Hz” You tell your love that you and her are on their own in the world.  You wish to get High above all the World’s problems, so you accept the Relationship. “I’d like to Embrace it! I’d like it Embrace it! I’d like to Embrace it All!” So, you and your new love experiment with Marijuana for the first time, to reach a common ground together. track 4 - APPLESAUCE - Comfy in Cannabis - (Theme: Marijuana) The both of you play around with the drugs of Earth, only to escape the insecurties you face in your Day-to-Day lives. You both feel addicted to the stuff as if it was Food. And because you feel like exploring (urges in you still from “Moonjock”) you choose to have a night out in the City. (Lyric: ” and the kid he picks a good thing, and the chef he makes a good thing, and the mayor eats a good thing”) You begin to trip out and become paranoid with your girl around all the people and choose to smoke some more in the City. As it brings you both closer together. (Lyric: “When you think you dont know you don’t know, you don’t know what comes next”) *you take a smoke* (Lyric: “Ripe and whole we can Move Outside Us!!!” ) The rush makes you feel ecstatic (Lyric: “You’re just a rush to blow open my mind! Blow upon the fire!”) But suddenly the joy you share is brought to a close when The Authorities find you both and take you to Jail. (Lyric: “When you think you dont know you don’t know, you don’t know what comes next”) Your respective families bail you both out but now your Relationships become Strained. The Centipede Hz begins to play with your mind like it did before you met the love of your life track 5 - WIDE EYED  - The Schizophrenic Centipede - (Theme: Paranoia) The paranoia you experienced earlier begins to take a hold of you even within your Dreams. (Lyric: “Cutting her into dream time”) You try to follow the lights of your Love but a Darkness overcomes you. (Lyric: “When you’re sleeping so far away…”) You feel so small in the vast Universe and the only thing bringing you comfort is your loved ones. (Lyric: ” If I could change my mind , I would Change “) You thank your loved one for caring for you in these dark times and  (Lyric: ” How is she not breaking down, oh God! I feel her shaking” ) As days pass, you see your bad mood begin rubbing off on your close friends and continue searching for the Light (Lyric: “How am I still holding on, oh God! I hope I am holding”) Gravity trips you out. How are you still Holding? You feel the Aliens listening in on your thoughts again, your “Ohms” and feel them playing with your Brain Chemistry. Re-connecting to “Centipede Hz” “Earth Lifeforms” You start to shed your fear of Change. (Lyric: “I am Waking Up! Oh God I Hope I am Waking!”) And you tell your loved one that it’s better to separate temporarily before you lose each other forever. You decide to take a Break. (Lyric: “I’m less afraid of Change.”) You both strive to see things more Clearly. You’re now “Wide Eyed, Wide Eyed”  *outro noises* “You’ll be OK, You’ll be OK, You’ll be OK”  But will you? track 6  -  FATHER TIME  -  Leaving your Mark on the Earth While you’re Here Aka. The New Beginning - (Theme: Death) Time is ticking. And now that you’re climbing up out of rock bottom. You feel better and think about your Paranoid Days as if it was such a long time ago. (Lyric: “Pass a long time ago”) You think of the people we’ve lost over time (Lyric: “Where’d they go, Where’d they go now?”) Because your now trying to overcome your depression you stop playing around, smoking weed and doing selfish things (Lyric: “We exorcized the weekend, now all the demons can’t play”)  You think about your life and the fact you only live once. “Time, he’s got real big hands and bigger plans” You head back to an important thing in your childhood for comfort. Music. (From: Moonjock, the radio in your parents car) You decide to become a Musician because you fear death and want a piece of your Soul to live on forever. (Lyric: “And did I remember suitcase (professional musician) and all the things in my head, and all the expectations of doing something SPECIAL! I could be GONE today! But where will they take me?!”) You start a band As you feel it is the Only way to Truly Express Yourself and Have Earth Remember You Forever…And you feel as though the music may reach deep into Outer Space and tell the Aliens what you’re all about so they’ll finally leave you alone for good…. Fame? It’s worth a shot… track 7  -  NEW TOWN BURNOUT  - A Day in the Life of an Artist  - (Theme: Fame) (Lyric: “Will I Make It? Will I Make It?”) Time passes, months pass and You think about the fame you’ve achieved over time. You thinks of your fans and thank them for their support and happiness they’ve given you all these years. Love but also Comfort and a feeling that you can experiment with your music as much as you want and they’ll still believe in you (Lyric: “I’ll take my shoes off…take my coat off”) Mix it up! As you’re jamming with your new friends, some of your old friends meet up with you again (Lyric: “No more little fights”) and you all have a large jam at a nearby Rave.  Filling your hearts with a groovy vibe makes you forget about your tainted past and brings you a sense of Belonging and Understanding. Your friends re-introduce you to Psychedelic Drugs and you enter a complete state of Bliss, a New Town Burnout with your band, Animal Collective.

IT’S GOOD TO BE BACK!!  DEAKIN’S BACK!! CHYEA!! the evil Alien connection begins to leave you.  (Lyric: “Lift this weight, weight, weight!!! Leave my Light, Light On!!!”) You feel happy but wonder if you can go on without the Centipede Hz track 8  -  MONKEY RICHES  -  The Search for Happiness & Answers - (Theme: Friendships & Money) You’re moving on at an extremely fast pace and question if it is a good thing to move on. You want to connect with the Centipede Hz (Lyric: “I want to get my knees out in the dirt”) The “Ohms” tries to enter you again but it just doesn’t cling now that you’re happy with your band, Animal Collective.

MGMT – Congratulations Lyrics

12 years ago

Congratulations Analysis Verses: Dead in the water (On Earth, death is inevitable) It's not a paid vacation (It's depressing) The sons and daughters of city officials (the educated lucky ones) attend demonstrations (are trying to make it more like heaven) It's hardly a sink or swim (No one knows if our efforts (science, money, religion) will work) when all is well if the ticket sells (But it working right now, So Earth ain't that bad) Out with a whimper (Here in the Universe, our peaceful death is inevitable) It's not a blaze of glory (Let's make it beautiful while we're here) You look down from your temple as people endeavour to make it a story (And if there is a God, we hope you enjoy our efforts) And chisel a marble word, but all is lost if it's never heard (There's plenty of ways to leave your mark in the World. And I choose Music) I'll keep your dreams (I promise to comfort you with my Music) You pay attention for me (Just live a good life and I'll be happy) As strange as it seems (Even though some think I'm weird) I'd rather dissolve than have you ignore me (I still want to leave a mark) The ground may be moving fast, (You may never get to hear my music) but I tied my boots to a broken mast (But as long as I live in this place I'll keep playing) The difference is clear (IF you don't like my music) You throw it in your cauldron (Just throw it out) (There's two sides to everything so I know that although some may love my music, some will hate it) Rust and veneer, dusk and dawn, steinways and baldwins (If you don't like my music, try making your own music, the equipment is available) You start with a simple stock of all the waste (And make it good) and salt to taste Chorues: (People have made life easier to live) I've got someone to make reports, that tell me how my money's spent (Many protect me from harm and comfort me) To book my stays and draw my blinds, so i can't tell what's really there (As long as they truly believe in me, I'll be fine) And all I need's a great big Congratulations (And I'll live a good life) (For the people who don't like me:) Damn my luck and damn these friends, that keep on combing back their smiles (Don't worry I'll find a way to be happy) I'll Save my grace with half ass guilt, (Because I have family and friends that will forever love me dearly) and lay down the quilt upon the lawn And spread my arms and soak up Congratulations *Cheers* (The proof that he does)

Arctic Monkeys – That's Where You're Wrong Lyrics

12 years ago

Suck It And See (MRpsycho's analysis) 01 - "She's Thunderstorms" Boy meets Girl. And he falls in love with her unpredictability, her beauty, and her mind. Boy can't believe he's found someone who is fearless. "...She came and substituted the peace and quiet for Acrobatic blood flow…" Boy senses that she is withholding secrets, just like himself and everyone else on the World. "…She's thunderstorms, lying on her front, up against the wall..." "…When you're feeling far away, she does what the night does to the day…" Like in a thunderstorm, Boy wonders whether the future with this new love can survive this cruel, judging world. But ultimately he chooses to "Suck It And See" 02 - "Black Treacle" Girl introduces Boy to her secret vice. Marijuana. He has never experienced it before but because he loves Girl, he trusts her. "….And I don't mean to rain on anybody's cabriolet, One of those games you're going to lose, But you want to play it just in case" Their relationship blossoms but he still asks questions about her fix, which has become his fix. "…Does it help you stay up late? Does it help you concentrate? Does it tune you in when you chew your chin? Am I ruining your fun?" "…More like Black Treacle, than Tar…" She proves that she can still be a strong woman and maintain a healthy social life while still smoking recreationally. "…And you talk the talk alright, but do you walk the walk or catch the train…" Boy and Girl become intimate lovers….their future looks great, but Boy continues to wonder whether this bliss will last. 03 - "Brick by Brick" As he tries to figure out what Girl loves, Boy plays his guitar with his band for the first time whilst stoned. "I wanna break you down, Brick by Brick, I'm gonna reconstruct, Brick by Brick, I wanna feel your love" He has to slowly get the hang of his new perspective of music "I want a blow by blow, Brick by Brick" and he eventually chooses to go on tour and rock out with his new found Grace. "Brick by Brick, I want an episode…" Girl still loves his music but doesn't like the fact that he's headed on tour. 04 - "The Hellcat Spangled Shalalala" "…Just when things are getting complicated in the eye of the storm.." Boy and Girl begin to grow distant due to Boy always on tour. She tells him that if he gets high, she'll be there with him in the back of his mind. And it will remind him of all the mesmerizing things they've done together. "…she flicks a red hot revelation off the tip of her tongue…" It's as if she appears out of thin air and it helps him rock out, but in the end…it's only an illusion…and they begin to slip into a downward spiral. "Home sweet home, home sweet home, home sweet Booby trap" He continues to rock and hopes Girl will understand and be cool with his fame… "…Her steady hands may well have done the Devil's pedicure, What you waiting for! Sing another fucking Shalalala…." 05 - "Don't Sit Down 'Cause I've Moved Your Chair" Boy and Girl continue having arguments every so often and they begin to play games with each other… "Do the macarena in the devil's lair, but just Don't Sit Down 'Cause I've Moved Your Chair" this effects Boy and his bands music as being effected by the changing times, their sound begins to change as well and they start taking risks. "…Break the mirror, roll the dice, run with scissors through a chip pan fire fight…" Tension grows as Boy tells his fans that he's changed and he's ready to live the true Rocker lifestyle. "…Bite the lightening, and tell me how it tests…" Boy and Girl separate due to this new lifestyle. 06 - "Library Pictures" Boy begins to feel depressed but he utilizes his intelligence and music, and he begins seeing the true potential in himself and his brain. His brain is wired of drugs like lightening… "Library pictures of the quickening canoe, the first of it's kind to get to the moon" = he speaks of life "Organizers/Memory Banks/Brains of the Accelerating Universe"… and we're the first of the animals to get to the moon Life is still confusing and fast as fuck but he remembers only the negative memories of Girl in order to rebel and feel as if he was right in their arguments. "Been watching all the neon blossom, flickering…" He knows human civilization is moving forward in the fast life of the Information Age and so must he… his band's sound evolves again, as he feels completely free to explore new territory…. "…You look as if you've all forgotten where you've been…" 07 - "All My Own Stunts" As life begins to slow down, he begins to ponder the relationship with Girl and whether or not to go back to her. Whenever he's out at clubs, bars…he's wondering what she's doing. Whenever he tries to get high, he thinks of her immediately and begins to miss her. "Been watching cowboy films, on gloomy afternoons, tinting the solitude" It hits Boy that his stunts caused so much pain for people in his life. "…All my Own Stunts!! High noon has changed it's tune…" He's mad at himself and attempts to restore his Reputation and simply, he wants to be happy again. "…Show me what to do, I know you've got the moves" 08 - "Reckless Serenade" A depressed Boy knows he is a rockstar and he knows he can get any Girl he wants. He begins to slow down and relaxes with friends and new lovers that he meets. "Illuminations, on a rainy day, when she walks her footsteps sing a Reckless Serenade" He wonders what we're all here for and whether his rock music will stand the test of time, after it all it is just a mirror of his life and right now it's a "Reckless Serenade" "I've been trying to figure out exactly what it is I need, called up to listen to the voice of reason and got his answering machine…" A lonely Boy tries to contact Girl and she accepts his offer to meet up, as friends. As they remember their good times together, Boy wonders whether she could ever really care about him again…. "The type of kisses where teeth collide, when she laughs the heavens hum a stun gun lullaby…" 09 - "Piledriver Waltz" Girl gives Boy some news, she has met someone else. Boy is shocked *ALARM GOES OFF(the beat)* and he begins to examine his life differently again because he thought he had her... "…I heard an unhappy ending…it sorta sounds like you're leaving…" he stops thinking about his emotions for Girl as he sees that they look happy together. Whenever Boy and Girl talk now, her new Boyfriend always comes up and it's like a endless stab to the heart. "You look like you've been for breakfast in the Heartbreak Hotel…" He decides to ignore Girl's calls as he is too heartbroken to listen…and now his sound is filled with sorrow, not the Rock'n'Roll he anticipated…. but he's gotta play in order to pull through this… "…If you're gonna try and walk on water make sure you wear your comfortable shoes…" 10 - "Love Is A Laserquest" Boy waits for Girl to break up with her new Boyfriend…he wonders if the two of them have arguments like Boy and Girl had..he wonders if they are taking their love seriously and wants to just hold her like he used to. "…And do you still think Love is a laser quest or do you take it all more seriously? I've tried to ask you this in some daydreams that I've had but you're always busy being make believe…" All he wants is for her New boyfriend to treat her right…better than he ever did. He attempts to get high with marijuana like he used to, but he knows it will remind him of her…but that's what he wants. "When I'm pipe and slippers and rocking chair, singing dreadful songs about summer…Will I have found a better method of pretending you were just some lover?" So he begins smoking because for those minutes of bliss…it's like Girl is holding him in his arms and singing about love together…. "…For a minute it gets easier to pretend that you were just some lover…" His new method is to escape with the thing she introduced to him and find a way to move on. 11 - "Suck It And See" Boy reflects on his decision to "Suck It And See" and he realizes that no matter how things turn out…Good or Bad, it's worth the experience and gives you true wisdom. And wants to keep changing himself whenever he gets bored of current him. "That's not a skirt girl, that's a sawn off shotgun, and I can only hope you've got it aimed at me" He smokes occasionally and thanks Girl for introducing him to something that can calm his nerves and remind him of their good times. He wants to keep changing and never stay in one place. "…Suck It And See, you never Know…Sit next to me, before I go" Even though they had their fuck-ups, they also had moments of love and laughter. "Your love is like a studded leather headlock, your kiss it could put creases in the rain" He still thinks about Girl and knows that wherever she is …at least she's happy. "You have got that face that just says 'baby I was made to break your heart'" 12 - "That's Where You're Wrong" Boy takes control of his life and vows to use the experience for good. And spread the word that love is always worth the trip. "Sitting on the floor with a tambourine, crushing up a bundle of love…don't take it so personally, you're not the only one" Boy feels great and for the first time in months, knows that he'll prove all haters wrong in the future because he's back on top of shit, and will try to never let his personal problems make him go through all the changes he went through during the course of Arctic Monkey's fourth studio effort. "All the old flames…fastened on, Make a wish that…weighs a tonne, There are no handles...you can hold, and no Understanding…where it goes…"

Arctic Monkeys – Suck It and See Lyrics

12 years ago

Suck It And See (MRpsycho's analysis) 01 - "She's Thunderstorms" Boy meets Girl. And he falls in love with her unpredictability, her beauty, and her mind. Boy can't believe he's found someone who is fearless. "...She came and substituted the peace and quiet for Acrobatic blood flow…" Boy senses that she is withholding secrets, just like himself and everyone else on the World. "…She's thunderstorms, lying on her front, up against the wall..." "…When you're feeling far away, she does what the night does to the day…" Like in a thunderstorm, Boy wonders whether the future with this new love can survive this cruel, judging world. But ultimately he chooses to "Suck It And See" 02 - "Black Treacle" Girl introduces Boy to her secret vice. Marijuana. He has never experienced it before but because he loves Girl, he trusts her. "….And I don't mean to rain on anybody's cabriolet, One of those games you're going to lose, But you want to play it just in case" Their relationship blossoms but he still asks questions about her fix, which has become his fix. "…Does it help you stay up late? Does it help you concentrate? Does it tune you in when you chew your chin? Am I ruining your fun?" "…More like Black Treacle, than Tar…" She proves that she can still be a strong woman and maintain a healthy social life while still smoking recreationally. "…And you talk the talk alright, but do you walk the walk or catch the train…" Boy and Girl become intimate lovers….their future looks great, but Boy continues to wonder whether this bliss will last. 03 - "Brick by Brick" As he tries to figure out what Girl loves, Boy plays his guitar with his band for the first time whilst stoned. "I wanna break you down, Brick by Brick, I'm gonna reconstruct, Brick by Brick, I wanna feel your love" He has to slowly get the hang of his new perspective of music "I want a blow by blow, Brick by Brick" and he eventually chooses to go on tour and rock out with his new found Grace. "Brick by Brick, I want an episode…" Girl still loves his music but doesn't like the fact that he's headed on tour. 04 - "The Hellcat Spangled Shalalala" "…Just when things are getting complicated in the eye of the storm.." Boy and Girl begin to grow distant due to Boy always on tour. She tells him that if he gets high, she'll be there with him in the back of his mind. And it will remind him of all the mesmerizing things they've done together. "…she flicks a red hot revelation off the tip of her tongue…" It's as if she appears out of thin air and it helps him rock out, but in the end…it's only an illusion…and they begin to slip into a downward spiral. "Home sweet home, home sweet home, home sweet Booby trap" He continues to rock and hopes Girl will understand and be cool with his fame… "…Her steady hands may well have done the Devil's pedicure, What you waiting for! Sing another fucking Shalalala…." 05 - "Don't Sit Down 'Cause I've Moved Your Chair" Boy and Girl continue having arguments every so often and they begin to play games with each other… "Do the macarena in the devil's lair, but just Don't Sit Down 'Cause I've Moved Your Chair" this effects Boy and his bands music as being effected by the changing times, their sound begins to change as well and they start taking risks. "…Break the mirror, roll the dice, run with scissors through a chip pan fire fight…" Tension grows as Boy tells his fans that he's changed and he's ready to live the true Rocker lifestyle.

His brain is wired of drugs like lightening… "Library pictures of the quickening canoe, the first of it's kind to get to the moon" = he speaks of life "Organizers/Memory Banks/Brains of the Accelerating Universe"… and we're the first of the animals to get to the moon Life is still confusing and fast as fuck but he remembers only the negative memories of Girl in order to rebel and feel as if he was right in their arguments.

"You look like you've been for breakfast in the Heartbreak Hotel…" He decides to ignore Girl's calls as he is too heartbroken to listen…and now his sound is filled with sorrow, not the Rock'n'Roll he anticipated…. but he's gotta play in order to pull through this… "…If you're gonna try and walk on water make sure you wear your comfortable shoes…" 10 - "Love Is A Laserquest" Boy waits for Girl to break up with her new Boyfriend…he wonders if the two of them have arguments like Boy and Girl had..he wonders if they are taking their love seriously and wants to just hold her like he used to. "…And do you still think Love is a laser quest or do you take it all more seriously? I've tried to ask you this in some daydreams that I've had but you're always busy being make believe…" All he wants is for her New boyfriend to treat her right…better than he ever did. He attempts to get high with marijuana like he used to, but he knows it will remind him of her…but that's what he wants. "When I'm pipe and slippers and rocking chair, singing dreadful songs about summer…Will I have found a better method of pretending you were just some lover?" So he begins smoking because for those minutes of bliss…it's like Girl is holding him in his arms and singing about love together…. "…For a minute it gets easier to pretend that you were just some lover…" His new method is to escape with the thing she introduced to him and find a way to move on. 11 - "Suck It And See" Boy reflects on his decision to "Suck It And See" and he realizes that no matter how things turn out…Good or Bad, it's worth the experience and gives you true wisdom. And wants to keep changing himself whenever he gets bored of current him. "That's not a skirt girl, that's a sawn off shotgun, and I can only hope you've got it aimed at me" He smokes occasionally and thanks Girl for introducing him to something that can calm his nerves and remind him of their good times. He wants to keep changing and never stay in one place. "…Suck It And See, you never Know…Sit next to me, before I go" Even though they had their fuck-ups, they also had moments of love and laughter. "Your love is like a studded leather headlock, your kiss it could put creases in the rain" He still thinks about Girl and knows that wherever she is …at least she's happy. "You have got that face that just says 'baby I was made to break your heart'" 12 - "That's Where You're Wrong" Boy takes control of his life and vows to use the experience for good. And spread the word that love is always worth the trip. "Sitting on the floor with a tambourine, crushing up a bundle of love…don't take it so personally, you're not the only one" Boy feels great and for the first time in months, knows that he'll prove all haters wrong in the future because he's back on top of shit, and will try to never let his personal problems make him go through all the changes he went through during the course of Arctic Monkey's fourth studio effort. "All the old flames…fastened on, Make a wish that…weighs a tonne, There are no handles...you can hold, and no Understanding…where it goes…"

Arctic Monkeys – Love Is a Laserquest Lyrics

12 years ago

Suck It And See (MRpsycho's analysis) 01 - "She's Thunderstorms" Boy meets Girl. And he falls in love with her unpredictability, her beauty, and her mind. Boy can't believe he's found someone who is fearless. "...She came and substituted the peace and quiet for Acrobatic blood flow…" Boy senses that she is withholding secrets, just like himself and everyone else on the World. "…She's thunderstorms, lying on her front, up against the wall..." "…When you're feeling far away, she does what the night does to the day…" Like in a thunderstorm, Boy wonders whether the future with this new love can survive this cruel, judging world. But ultimately he chooses to "Suck It And See" 02 - "Black Treacle" Girl introduces Boy to her secret vice. Marijuana. He has never experienced it before but because he loves Girl, he trusts her. "….And I don't mean to rain on anybody's cabriolet, One of those games you're going to lose, But you want to play it just in case" Their relationship blossoms but he still asks questions about her fix, which has become his fix. "…Does it help you stay up late? Does it help you concentrate? Does it tune you in when you chew your chin? Am I ruining your fun?" "…More like Black Treacle, than Tar…" She proves that she can still be a strong woman and maintain a healthy social life while still smoking recreationally. "…And you talk the talk alright, but do you walk the walk or catch the train…" Boy and Girl become intimate lovers….their future looks great, but Boy continues to wonder whether this bliss will last. 03 - "Brick by Brick" As he tries to figure out what Girl loves, Boy plays his guitar with his band for the first time whilst stoned. "I wanna break you down, Brick by Brick, I'm gonna reconstruct, Brick by Brick, I wanna feel your love" He has to slowly get the hang of his new perspective of music "I want a blow by blow, Brick by Brick" and he eventually chooses to go on tour and rock out with his new found Grace. "Brick by Brick, I want an episode…" Girl still loves his music but doesn't like the fact that he's headed on tour. 04 - "The Hellcat Spangled Shalalala" "…Just when things are getting complicated in the eye of the storm.." Boy and Girl begin to grow distant due to Boy always on tour. She tells him that if he gets high, she'll be there with him in the back of his mind. And it will remind him of all the mesmerizing things they've done together. "…she flicks a red hot revelation off the tip of her tongue…" It's as if she appears out of thin air and it helps him rock out, but in the end…it's only an illusion…and they begin to slip into a downward spiral. "Home sweet home, home sweet home, home sweet Booby trap" He continues to rock and hopes Girl will understand and be cool with his fame… "…Her steady hands may well have done the Devil's pedicure, What you waiting for! Sing another fucking Shalalala…." 05 - "Don't Sit Down 'Cause I've Moved Your Chair" Boy and Girl continue having arguments every so often and they begin to play games with each other… "Do the macarena in the devil's lair, but just Don't Sit Down 'Cause I've Moved Your Chair" this effects Boy and his bands music as being effected by the changing times, their sound begins to change as well and they start taking risks. "…Break the mirror, roll the dice, run with scissors through a chip pan fire fight…" Tension grows as Boy tells his fans that he's changed and he's ready to live the true Rocker lifestyle. "…Bite the lightening, and tell me how it tests…" Boy and Girl separate due to this new lifestyle. 06 - "Library Pictures" Boy begins to feel depressed but he utilizes his intelligence and music, and he begins seeing the true potential in himself and his brain. His brain is wired of drugs like lightening… "Library pictures of the quickening canoe, the first of it's kind to get to the moon" = he speaks of life "Organizers/Memory Banks/Brains of the Accelerating Universe"… and we're the first of the animals to get to the moon Life is still confusing and fast as fuck but he remembers only the negative memories of Girl in order to rebel and feel as if he was right in their arguments. "Been watching all the neon blossom, flickering…" He knows human civilization is moving forward in the fast life of the Information Age and so must he… his band's sound evolves again, as he feels completely free to explore new territory…. "…You look as if you've all forgotten where you've been…" 07 - "All My Own Stunts" As life begins to slow down, he begins to ponder the relationship with Girl and whether or not to go back to her. Whenever he's out at clubs, bars…he's wondering what she's doing. Whenever he tries to get high, he thinks of her immediately and begins to miss her. "Been watching cowboy films, on gloomy afternoons, tinting the solitude" It hits Boy that his stunts caused so much pain for people in his life. "…All my Own Stunts!! High noon has changed it's tune…" He's mad at himself and attempts to restore his Reputation and simply, he wants to be happy again. "…Show me what to do, I know you've got the moves" 08 - "Reckless Serenade" A depressed Boy knows he is a rockstar and he knows he can get any Girl he wants. He begins to slow down and relaxes with friends and new lovers that he meets. "Illuminations, on a rainy day, when she walks her footsteps sing a Reckless Serenade" He wonders what we're all here for and whether his rock music will stand the test of time, after it all it is just a mirror of his life and right now it's a "Reckless Serenade" "I've been trying to figure out exactly what it is I need, called up to listen to the voice of reason and got his answering machine…" A lonely Boy tries to contact Girl and she accepts his offer to meet up, as friends. As they remember their good times together, Boy wonders whether she could ever really care about him again…. "The type of kisses where teeth collide, when she laughs the heavens hum a stun gun lullaby…" 09 - "Piledriver Waltz" Girl gives Boy some news, she has met someone else. Boy is shocked *ALARM GOES OFF(the beat)* and he begins to examine his life differently again because he thought he had her... "…I heard an unhappy ending…it sorta sounds like you're leaving…" he stops thinking about his emotions for Girl as he sees that they look happy together. Whenever Boy and Girl talk now, her new Boyfriend always comes up and it's like a endless stab to the heart.

"….And I don't mean to rain on anybody's cabriolet, One of those games you're going to lose, But you want to play it just in case" Their relationship blossoms but he still asks questions about her fix, which has become his fix. "…Does it help you stay up late? Does it help you concentrate? Does it tune you in when you chew your chin? Am I ruining your fun?" "…More like Black Treacle, than Tar…" She proves that she can still be a strong woman and maintain a healthy social life while still smoking recreationally. "…And you talk the talk alright, but do you walk the walk or catch the train…" Boy and Girl become intimate lovers….their future looks great, but Boy continues to wonder whether this bliss will last. 03 - "Brick by Brick" As he tries to figure out what Girl loves, Boy plays his guitar with his band for the first time whilst stoned. "I wanna break you down, Brick by Brick, I'm gonna reconstruct, Brick by Brick, I wanna feel your love" He has to slowly get the hang of his new perspective of music "I want a blow by blow, Brick by Brick" and he eventually chooses to go on tour and rock out with his new found Grace. "Brick by Brick, I want an episode…" Girl still loves his music but doesn't like the fact that he's headed on tour. 04 - "The Hellcat Spangled Shalalala" "…Just when things are getting complicated in the eye of the storm.." Boy and Girl begin to grow distant due to Boy always on tour. She tells him that if he gets high, she'll be there with him in the back of his mind. And it will remind him of all the mesmerizing things they've done together. "…she flicks a red hot revelation off the tip of her tongue…" It's as if she appears out of thin air and it helps him rock out, but in the end…it's only an illusion…and they begin to slip into a downward spiral. "Home sweet home, home sweet home, home sweet Booby trap" He continues to rock and hopes Girl will understand and be cool with his fame… "…Her steady hands may well have done the Devil's pedicure, What you waiting for! Sing another fucking Shalalala…." 05 - "Don't Sit Down 'Cause I've Moved Your Chair" Boy and Girl continue having arguments every so often and they begin to play games with each other… "Do the macarena in the devil's lair, but just Don't Sit Down 'Cause I've Moved Your Chair" this effects Boy and his bands music as being effected by the changing times, their sound begins to change as well and they start taking risks. "…Break the mirror, roll the dice, run with scissors through a chip pan fire fight…" Tension grows as Boy tells his fans that he's changed and he's ready to live the true Rocker lifestyle. "…Bite the lightening, and tell me how it tests…" Boy and Girl separate due to this new lifestyle. 06 - "Library Pictures" Boy begins to feel depressed but he utilizes his intelligence and music, and he begins seeing the true potential in himself and his brain. His brain is wired of drugs like lightening… "Library pictures of the quickening canoe, the first of it's kind to get to the moon" = he speaks of life "Organizers/Memory Banks/Brains of the Accelerating Universe"… and we're the first of the animals to get to the moon Life is still confusing and fast as fuck but he remembers only the negative memories of Girl in order to rebel and feel as if he was right in their arguments. "Been watching all the neon blossom, flickering…" He knows human civilization is moving forward in the fast life of the Information Age and so must he… his band's sound evolves again, as he feels completely free to explore new territory…. "…You look as if you've all forgotten where you've been…" 07 - "All My Own Stunts" As life begins to slow down, he begins to ponder the relationship with Girl and whether or not to go back to her. Whenever he's out at clubs, bars…he's wondering what she's doing. Whenever he tries to get high, he thinks of her immediately and begins to miss her. "Been watching cowboy films, on gloomy afternoons, tinting the solitude" It hits Boy that his stunts caused so much pain for people in his life. "…All my Own Stunts!! High noon has changed it's tune…" He's mad at himself and attempts to restore his Reputation and simply, he wants to be happy again. "…Show me what to do, I know you've got the moves" 08 - "Reckless Serenade" A depressed Boy knows he is a rockstar and he knows he can get any Girl he wants. He begins to slow down and relaxes with friends and new lovers that he meets. "Illuminations, on a rainy day, when she walks her footsteps sing a Reckless Serenade" He wonders what we're all here for and whether his rock music will stand the test of time, after it all it is just a mirror of his life and right now it's a "Reckless Serenade" "I've been trying to figure out exactly what it is I need, called up to listen to the voice of reason and got his answering machine…" A lonely Boy tries to contact Girl and she accepts his offer to meet up, as friends. As they remember their good times together, Boy wonders whether she could ever really care about him again…. "The type of kisses where teeth collide, when she laughs the heavens hum a stun gun lullaby…" 09 - "Piledriver Waltz" Girl gives Boy some news, she has met someone else. Boy is shocked *ALARM GOES OFF(the beat)* and he begins to examine his life differently again because he thought he had her... "…I heard an unhappy ending…it sorta sounds like you're leaving…" he stops thinking about his emotions for Girl as he sees that they look happy together. Whenever Boy and Girl talk now, her new Boyfriend always comes up and it's like a endless stab to the heart. "You look like you've been for breakfast in the Heartbreak Hotel…" He decides to ignore Girl's calls as he is too heartbroken to listen…and now his sound is filled with sorrow, not the Rock'n'Roll he anticipated…. but he's gotta play in order to pull through this… "…If you're gonna try and walk on water make sure you wear your comfortable shoes…" 10 - "Love Is A Laserquest" Boy waits for Girl to break up with her new Boyfriend…he wonders if the two of them have arguments like Boy and Girl had..he wonders if they are taking their love seriously and wants to just hold her like he used to. "…And do you still think Love is a laser quest or do you take it all more seriously? I've tried to ask you this in some daydreams that I've had but you're always busy being make believe…" All he wants is for her New boyfriend to treat her right…better than he ever did. He attempts to get high with marijuana like he used to, but he knows it will remind him of her…but that's what he wants. "When I'm pipe and slippers and rocking chair, singing dreadful songs about summer…Will I have found a better method of pretending you were just some lover?" So he begins smoking because for those minutes of bliss…it's like Girl is holding him in his arms and singing about love together…. "…For a minute it gets easier to pretend that you were just some lover…" His new method is to escape with the thing she introduced to him and find a way to move on. 11 - "Suck It And See" Boy reflects on his decision to "Suck It And See" and he realizes that no matter how things turn out…Good or Bad, it's worth the experience and gives you true wisdom. And wants to keep changing himself whenever he gets bored of current him. "That's not a skirt girl, that's a sawn off shotgun, and I can only hope you've got it aimed at me" He smokes occasionally and thanks Girl for introducing him to something that can calm his nerves and remind him of their good times. He wants to keep changing and never stay in one place. "…Suck It And See, you never Know…Sit next to me, before I go" Even though they had their fuck-ups, they also had moments of love and laughter. "Your love is like a studded leather headlock, your kiss it could put creases in the rain" He still thinks about Girl and knows that wherever she is …at least she's happy. "You have got that face that just says 'baby I was made to break your heart'" 12 - "That's Where You're Wrong" Boy takes control of his life and vows to use the experience for good. And spread the word that love is always worth the trip. "Sitting on the floor with a tambourine, crushing up a bundle of love…don't take it so personally, you're not the only one" Boy feels great and for the first time in months, knows that he'll prove all haters wrong in the future because he's back on top of shit, and will try to never let his personal problems make him go through all the changes he went through during the course of Arctic Monkey's fourth studio effort. "All the old flames…fastened on, Make a wish that…weighs a tonne, There are no handles...you can hold, and no Understanding…where it goes…"

"Been watching cowboy films, on gloomy afternoons, tinting the solitude" It hits Boy that his stunts caused so much pain for people in his life. "…All my Own Stunts!! High noon has changed it's tune…" He's mad at himself and attempts to restore his Reputation and simply, he wants to be happy again. "…Show me what to do, I know you've got the moves" 08 - "Reckless Serenade" A depressed Boy knows he is a rockstar and he knows he can get any Girl he wants. He begins to slow down and relaxes with friends and new lovers that he meets. "Illuminations, on a rainy day, when she walks her footsteps sing a Reckless Serenade" He wonders what we're all here for and whether his rock music will stand the test of time, after it all it is just a mirror of his life and right now it's a "Reckless Serenade" "I've been trying to figure out exactly what it is I need, called up to listen to the voice of reason and got his answering machine…" A lonely Boy tries to contact Girl and she accepts his offer to meet up, as friends. As they remember their good times together, Boy wonders whether she could ever really care about him again…. "The type of kisses where teeth collide, when she laughs the heavens hum a stun gun lullaby…" 09 - "Piledriver Waltz" Girl gives Boy some news, she has met someone else. Boy is shocked *ALARM GOES OFF(the beat)* and he begins to examine his life differently again because he thought he had her... "…I heard an unhappy ending…it sorta sounds like you're leaving…" he stops thinking about his emotions for Girl as he sees that they look happy together. Whenever Boy and Girl talk now, her new Boyfriend always comes up and it's like a endless stab to the heart. "You look like you've been for breakfast in the Heartbreak Hotel…" He decides to ignore Girl's calls as he is too heartbroken to listen…and now his sound is filled with sorrow, not the Rock'n'Roll he anticipated…. but he's gotta play in order to pull through this… "…If you're gonna try and walk on water make sure you wear your comfortable shoes…" 10 - "Love Is A Laserquest" Boy waits for Girl to break up with her new Boyfriend…he wonders if the two of them have arguments like Boy and Girl had..he wonders if they are taking their love seriously and wants to just hold her like he used to. "…And do you still think Love is a laser quest or do you take it all more seriously? I've tried to ask you this in some daydreams that I've had but you're always busy being make believe…" All he wants is for her New boyfriend to treat her right…better than he ever did. He attempts to get high with marijuana like he used to, but he knows it will remind him of her…but that's what he wants. "When I'm pipe and slippers and rocking chair, singing dreadful songs about summer…Will I have found a better method of pretending you were just some lover?" So he begins smoking because for those minutes of bliss…it's like Girl is holding him in his arms and singing about love together…. "…For a minute it gets easier to pretend that you were just some lover…" His new method is to escape with the thing she introduced to him and find a way to move on. 11 - "Suck It And See" Boy reflects on his decision to "Suck It And See" and he realizes that no matter how things turn out…Good or Bad, it's worth the experience and gives you true wisdom. And wants to keep changing himself whenever he gets bored of current him. "That's not a skirt girl, that's a sawn off shotgun, and I can only hope you've got it aimed at me" He smokes occasionally and thanks Girl for introducing him to something that can calm his nerves and remind him of their good times. He wants to keep changing and never stay in one place. "…Suck It And See, you never Know…Sit next to me, before I go" Even though they had their fuck-ups, they also had moments of love and laughter. "Your love is like a studded leather headlock, your kiss it could put creases in the rain" He still thinks about Girl and knows that wherever she is …at least she's happy. "You have got that face that just says 'baby I was made to break your heart'" 12 - "That's Where You're Wrong" Boy takes control of his life and vows to use the experience for good. And spread the word that love is always worth the trip. "Sitting on the floor with a tambourine, crushing up a bundle of love…don't take it so personally, you're not the only one" Boy feels great and for the first time in months, knows that he'll prove all haters wrong in the future because he's back on top of shit, and will try to never let his personal problems make him go through all the changes he went through during the course of Arctic Monkey's fourth studio effort. "All the old flames…fastened on, Make a wish that…weighs a tonne, There are no handles...you can hold, and no Understanding…where it goes…"

Arctic Monkeys – She's Thunderstorms Lyrics

12 years ago

Suck It And See (MRpsycho's analysis) 01 - "She's Thunderstorms" Boy meets Girl. And he falls in love with her unpredictability, her beauty, and her mind. Boy can't believe he's found someone who is fearless. "...She came and substituted the peace and quiet for Acrobatic blood flow…" Boy senses that she is withholding secrets, just like himself and everyone else on the World. "…She's thunderstorms, lying on her front, up against the wall..." "…When you're feeling far away, she does what the night does to the day…" Like in a thunderstorm, Boy wonders whether the future with this new love can survive this cruel, judging world. But ultimately he chooses to "Suck It And See" 02 - "Black Treacle" Girl introduces Boy to her secret vice. Marijuana. He has never experienced it before but because he loves Girl, he trusts her. "….And I don't mean to rain on anybody's cabriolet, One of those games you're going to lose, But you want to play it just in case" Their relationship blossoms but he still asks questions about her fix, which has become his fix. "…Does it help you stay up late? Does it help you concentrate? Does it tune you in when you chew your chin? Am I ruining your fun?" "…More like Black Treacle, than Tar…" She proves that she can still be a strong woman and maintain a healthy social life while still smoking recreationally. "…And you talk the talk alright, but do you walk the walk or catch the train…" Boy and Girl become intimate lovers….their future looks great, but Boy continues to wonder whether this bliss will last. 03 - "Brick by Brick" As he tries to figure out what Girl loves, Boy plays his guitar with his band for the first time whilst stoned. "I wanna break you down, Brick by Brick, I'm gonna reconstruct, Brick by Brick, I wanna feel your love" He has to slowly get the hang of his new perspective of music "I want a blow by blow, Brick by Brick" and he eventually chooses to go on tour and rock out with his new found Grace. "Brick by Brick, I want an episode…" Girl still loves his music but doesn't like the fact that he's headed on tour. 04 - "The Hellcat Spangled Shalalala" "…Just when things are getting complicated in the eye of the storm.." Boy and Girl begin to grow distant due to Boy always on tour. She tells him that if he gets high, she'll be there with him in the back of his mind. And it will remind him of all the mesmerizing things they've done together. "…she flicks a red hot revelation off the tip of her tongue…" It's as if she appears out of thin air and it helps him rock out, but in the end…it's only an illusion…and they begin to slip into a downward spiral. "Home sweet home, home sweet home, home sweet Booby trap" He continues to rock and hopes Girl will understand and be cool with his fame… "…Her steady hands may well have done the Devil's pedicure, What you waiting for! Sing another fucking Shalalala…." 05 - "Don't Sit Down 'Cause I've Moved Your Chair" Boy and Girl continue having arguments every so often and they begin to play games with each other… "Do the macarena in the devil's lair, but just Don't Sit Down 'Cause I've Moved Your Chair" this effects Boy and his bands music as being effected by the changing times, their sound begins to change as well and they start taking risks. "…Break the mirror, roll the dice, run with scissors through a chip pan fire fight…" Tension grows as Boy tells his fans that he's changed and he's ready to live the true Rocker lifestyle. "…Bite the lightening, and tell me how it tests…" Boy and Girl separate due to this new lifestyle. 06 - "Library Pictures" Boy begins to feel depressed but he utilizes his intelligence and music, and he begins seeing the true potential in himself and his brain. His brain is wired of drugs like lightening… "Library pictures of the quickening canoe, the first of it's kind to get to the moon" = he speaks of life "Organizers/Memory Banks/Brains of the Accelerating Universe"… and we're the first of the animals to get to the moon Life is still confusing and fast as fuck but he remembers only the negative memories of Girl in order to rebel and feel as if he was right in their arguments. "Been watching all the neon blossom, flickering…" He knows human civilization is moving forward in the fast life of the Information Age and so must he… his band's sound evolves again, as he feels completely free to explore new territory…. "…You look as if you've all forgotten where you've been…" 07 - "All My Own Stunts" As life begins to slow down, he begins to ponder the relationship with Girl and whether or not to go back to her. Whenever he's out at clubs, bars…he's wondering what she's doing. Whenever he tries to get high, he thinks of her immediately and begins to miss her. "Been watching cowboy films, on gloomy afternoons, tinting the solitude" It hits Boy that his stunts caused so much pain for people in his life. "…All my Own Stunts!!
