MGMT – Kids Lyrics 10 years ago
Yes this is the meaning of the song. It is about controlling man kinds destruction of mother nature.

'The water is warm,
but it's sending me shivers.
" - refers to the global sea water increasing in temperature due to CO2 emissions that will eventually bring the ocean to a boil killing both the humans that started the pollution and every other living thing

of course the most important line is repeat a lot:

"Control yourself.
Take only what you need from it.
A family of trees wanting,
To be haunted.
"

Control ones actions and leave a minimal imprint on the environment. A family of trees wanting to be haunted. Think about it, a haunted house is a house that is rarely visited and not known about. This is how the rain Forrest would want to be viewed by humans, because humans come and slash and burn the whole forest without thinking.
