| MGMT – It's Working Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
To me it seems like it's about drugs, probably psychedelics. At first there are little differences that are noticed after consuming the drug, then wondering if the drug is working right. I've definitely felt this feeling before and can relate. Then it progresses to 'it's working', saying that he knows the drugs have taken effect and he knows for sure. Sometimes when i'm waiting for drugs to kick in i have this placebo effect where i can't tell if it's the drugs or me, which i think is kind of what is being conveyed here, aka 'how will i know if it's working right'. It seems like the progression of the song and it's composition tie in with this. At first the song is kind of like an exciting whirlwind(nerves about taking the drug, and excitement on what will come), and it progresses to silence for a moment, then goes back, then it turns into a spacey flow of noises, then again silence and back to the excitement. This is what happens on drugs sometimes, they take hold, and for a moment you have control or you can understand that this is not you, then you let them take over again. Towards the end when he says 'no, it's working' with the cosmic sounds in the background and the drum beat, it all feels like drugs to me. Also to support my theory is 'but it's working in your blood', which drugs do. I don't know if this whole drug thing is what they were going after, but i think the lyrics and music go perfectly together and if that's what they were aiming for they did it perfectly. If not i still really like this song. |
