Carrots Lyrics

That old good boy Mitch just wanted to tell some jokes
Well, now I'm just trying to play some notes
Do you know what I say?
Do you know what I mean?
Have you heard through these words just how I'm seen?
There's a reason that I work so hard at this stuff
When all I want to do is take it easy

It's not a ticket for you to pick at other people
Who don't know what's up like you're so sure you do

You kind of make me want to shut your mouth
Just to keep out all of those unfriendly feelings
Just because you've got a lot of wax and all those first editions
I want you to know sticks and stones may break my bones
But words will never hurt me
All I need to know I knew so early

It's so lame that you could take my feelings
And make yourself feel like you're better than anyone else who hasn't heard

Listen in between your notes
There's something been going on while you were busy taking notes
And look in between your moments
There's something good happening
It's good to sometimes slow it down


What's the point in pouring it all out when you guys just wear it on your coat?
I believe that for this piece of time we can really crank us up a lot
Get your head out from those mags and websites who try to shape your style
Take a risk just for yourself and wade into the deep end of the ocean

This song is so good, especially because it speaks to all the "hipsters" that like this music because they think it makes them better than everyone who listens to more mainstream. it's better to share music with people than to hold yourself above them because you think it makes you trendy. nah mean?

Haha me thinks it a shout out to Mitch Hedberg and what I would call the Zen OF Art.

In the last stanza, I think it goes: "And websites that try to shape your style! ... And wade into the deep end of the ocean."

Such a fucking great song. Pretty self-explanatory.

One thing I like about Panda Bear is the song structure. The use of movements reminds me of music from the 70s, ELP & Yes. Philip Glass would love the vocal loops and arpeggios. Wade into the deep of the Ocean. Perfect.

Does anyone know what the source of that sound in the 2nd last stanza - its sounds like a zipper followed by a small explosion... you hear it about 3 times. I love all the random noises scattered throughout this record.
