I forgot to add the meal part. Waiting for my meal could be referring to the Jews waiting to be rescued (liberators would bring food.)

I saw this after I posed, I agree with you. I was unaware of Dragon teeth, but that makes sense too.

MGMT – Pieces of What Lyrics 15 years ago
I think this song is about the Holocaust.

"at the Belgian gates
I'm waiting for my meal"

The Belgian gates were used for defense against Germany in WW2.


"moonlight on my floor
shining through the roof"

Wherever the person is, the place is falling apart for moonlight to shine through the roof. This person could be in hiding.

"they got the city surrounded
as if I needed proof"

The Germans had the victory in Belgium in 1940. Therefore this part could be conveying the German military showing off their huge numbers by surrounding them.



"when the world has turned
paralyzed and wrong
cold blooded claws
never offer anything at all
past the point of love
shattered and untied
waiting to pick up the pieces
that make it out all right"

The world is torn apart. Divided and fighting each other in great numbers and major nations.

"past the point of love"

WW2 is past the point of love for one another (arguable). The Holocaust is even more so.


"lay my dragon's teeth
and shallow water steel"

I'm not convinced these two lines are right.

MGMT – We Don't Care Lyrics 15 years ago
we care -is the aliens came to earth peacefully and nice.

we dont care- then this song is next, its like the humans treated them like experiments and stuff

i know that the songs are related and somewhat like what i explained but im sure theres more to it. but we- means the aliens, not humans. because he says 'im a normal alien', and in the song we care, its first person speaking coming to earth.
