| of Montreal – Mingusings Lyrics | 12 years ago |

A few corrections on the final verse: Technology makes such an ugly mother But no LESSONS does it offer, only chaos scenarios And the dream that we've been HANDED: look just random numbers Still they love you at the office cause you've BEEN subject of countless masturbation fantasies |

It's also important that the other party ISN'T "one of the rotten ones" anymore; so they're probably in a more established, popular, or beneficial position now. And the speaker was effectually "left behind" in order for that to happen. Love the song, by the way. |

The song is simple, in my opinion; a really relatable experience for a lot of people: A relationship is really innocent and close--then people grow up; they change; they grow apart. In the speaker's opinion: the other party is growing for the worse--they've become materialistic and shallow; they hide their real self from the world ("make up on" and "bleaching [their] teeth"). The stanza about the car, phone, and floor: it's symbolic for the other party's materialism--by jettisoning a car, phone, and bed, the other party would be losing objects that now define their life. And by doing that, the party could "dream about" the speaker again (and a simpler time before that materialism). And I think that the title is a little tongue-and-cheek in that regard--I think that the "anthem" part of the title suggests how it's supposed to be almost cliche. High School Aged kids lose close friends all of the time as they near adulthood, and a common statement will be "oh, so-and-so was once a really close friend, but they have changed so much!" This song is about wanting that other person to miss your lost-friendship too ("dream about me"). Also, there is nothing in the song to suggest it is about a romantic-relationship; it might be, but I almost believe it is about a platonic friendship (two girls, maybe). We are just conditioned to think of songs as being about romance before we really look at them closely. |

Awesome song. Pretty sure he says "Cocoanut Ciroc" when he's talking about his drink. |

I think that your basic premise is right: she's pointing out that human-life is largely based upon chance and what was left to us by our ancestors ("false math" and "distorted knowledge"). Often this leads to suffering. Still, I think that there's an empowering edge to the dancing. We're fuc*ed, but we're doing our best. Sometimes "gravity (gives) us a break." Sometimes we win love back. That's why we keep dancing. |

That makes way too much sense to not be the answer. Way to go! Such an amazing song. |
