The Scientists Lyrics
electrified and lit up by an outline of herself,
smiling now as only she can be.
she said "i made some new connections to astound them all in ways we've never dreamed about"
her lovely hand is glowing from the light inside itself
from soaking in the esters stacked for miles on a single shelf,
holding my eyes still so she can see...
all the super undercover custom hybrids got to me.
it's too much, you're too late...
i want to see it all again.
she says "keep this benzene ring around your finger
and think of me when everything you wanted starts to end."
and i saw living lusters form in pools beneath her feet,
invertebrates that only she can see
and i said, "what on earth are all these animals for?"
she says, "exactly, we're not gonna wait around here anymore."
systems back down slow, watch the dust cloud descend.
and i will keep you, i will keep you to the end.
set your head back low, watch my ears ring.
i will take care of you, i will take care of everything.
systems back down slow, watch the dust cloud rescend.
and i will keep you, i will keep you to the end.
set your head back low, watch my ears ring.
i will take care of you, i will take care of everything.
it's too much, you're too late...
too much, you're too late
higher than my distance to the ground
and i think i see myself again through the pinhole.
but the pinhole captures all of you.
and the pinhole captures all of you.
it's too much, you're too late.
Pretty sure the last stanza is:
"piloted my bedspins to the ground"
not
"you piloted my distance to the ground"
last stanza- "you piloted my distance to the ground"
great song.
Piloting my death-spins towards the ground
Piloting my death-spins towards the ground
Piloting my death-spins towards the ground
Piloting my death-spins towards the ground
Piloting my death-spins towards the ground
Piloting my death-spins towards the ground
this is what i hear in the fourth stanza:
"docile living lusters forming pools beneath her feet invertebrates that only she can see and i say 'what on earth are all these engines for?' she says 'exactly, we're not gonna wait around here anymore.'"
"she" turns his question into a pun with her answer. it makes sense to me considering the next line:
"systems back down slow watch the dust cloud rescind."
like a space shuttle's engines & the settling debris in the lauch zone? maybe i'm wrong.
You guys need to remember that the theme here is science, hence: "I said, 'what on earth are all these AMPOULES for'"

Also, "I piloted my distance to the ground"

"I made some new connection to extend them all"

"Systems back down slow, watch the dust cloud rescind"

wow that really changes the way i think of those lines.

it seems very obvious now.. thanks!

This song is actaully about how there is a couple and they are both scientists. Her lab is upstairs and his lab is downstairs. They are both making wierd drugs and they test them on each other and they are both running up and down saying you take this and you take that. So put the lyrics into that story and it all makes sense.
I like the idea of two scientists testing chemicals out on each other, but i would like to elaborate. There two scientists who are desperate for a break through with their research, "smiling now as only she can be. she said "i made some new connections to astound them all". Shes smiling because shes finally discovered that scientific breakthrough (whatever it may be). Turns out she went mad from working too hard to achieve the discovery and the actual breakthrough isn't a breakthrough at all but rather a self inflicted science experiment involving ester and other dangerous chemicals. Her lab partner starts to go blind from being exposed to too many chemicals hence the lines "invertebrates that only she can see", "i want to see it all again" and "keep this benzene ring around your finger". Benzene is used as a distilling agent in many chemicals to prevent people from actually going blind. Through all this madness that is taking place and reoccurring chemical explosions leaving dust clouds behind, he continues to love his insane partner and he tells her that he will take care of her. Unfortunately, "its too much" and hes "too late" to save them from the destructive environment that she created.
That to me sounds about right. Matt at a live show said it was about two scientists and how they have a lab each. So match the lyrics to that idea and you get what you elaborated on.
