| MGMT – Time to Pretend Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Feel as though this song is about how the general concept of free will does not actually exist in modern day society. This song begins in the mindset of a young rebel, whose dream is not an odd one at becoming famous and living the life a celebrity. A dream life where it seems as though one is free to do anything in life, but the song brings the point that this so called "dream life" is a life which has already been planned and set. The song then compares the problem to a typical "office job" type of life where it is the same routine, of going to work everyday. By making this comparison the songs over all meaning can be interpreted as even a with a "dream life" one will still fall into the basics of an everyday routine much like that of working in an office, and from the beginning of life, no matter the choices one makes, everyone in society is born with the fate of living a pretend life that is not chosen for them. | |
