My Girls Lyrics
There isn't much that I feel I need A solid soul and the blood I bleed With a little girl, and by my spouse I only want a proper house
I don't care for fancy things Or to take part in the vicious race But to provide, for one who asks, I will, with heart, on my father's grave
I don't mean To seem like I care about material things Like our social stats I just want Four walls and adobe slats For my girls
thanks I think these are more accurate
thanks I think these are more accurate
i think it's my father's graCe. makes more sense because it rhymes with race and all that

I think it's "on my fathers grave" but animal collective are excellent at making things sound different. It also sounds like "by my father's grace" Excellent vocalists. I'm pretty sure these are the most accurate after listening to this song a hundred times.

beautiful. i love how they're writing more about family and home now that they've got them. it shows such maturity and grace without ever once taking away from animal collective's essence. i fucking love them.
I totally agree.

me too. it's so interesting to watch them evolve from album to album. very rarely does domestic life sound so fulfilling.

pretty obvious that it's about what panda bear or whoever wrote it wants in life. a small family, and a good house for his wife and daughter to live in.

Stop saying he's gay unless you have some sort of proof, please.

I don't know if there is any debate here, but Panda Bear is married and has a child, so I'm pretty positive that he is not gay.

avay and panda have obviously matured alot i absolutely love aveys vocals in the backround and then the part after "adobe slabs for my girls" where you hear b'DUM DUM OWWW!!!! just gives me the chills (:
with so many other AC songs spewing absurd groupings of words, this is one that actually comes off blunt and direct in every way. With the group now growing and starting families, this tune is a reflection on domesticated lifestyle that's to come, and the minimal requirements they aspire to have: contentment with self, wife and children that live well and happy, and a place to rest bones at the end of the day. nothing extravagant or sublime, just the standard house-that-can-be-called-a-home type of deal. Adobe is one of the more basic substances used to build houses and has been around for thousands of years, so it seems like what's going on inside the house is more important thn its actual appearance.
the one line of note I find interesting is that they refer to their social status as a "material thing." maybe that classification goes beyond the average definition of material, as if social status is a reflection of the material things they may have, and therefore is of no importance. either way, a gem of many sorts and one of the stronger numbers on Merriweather.
The first line of the final verse is "I don't need to seem like I care about material things, like a social stance". Trust me, I've just scrutinised the lyrics through my very expensive headphones! :)
It's a simple commentary about the way a lot of people pin a lot of importance on getting the latest gadgets, the shiniest new car etc. People treat getting into the latest gear as a 'social stance'. He's saying all that's important to him is that he has a home with his family.
I love Merriweather Post Pavilion so much. Such a masterful piece of work.
anco is shit
anco is shit
i thought he was saying a "silent soul"...like, he was at peace or something.
smoking a dube and listening to this song is like you want to hug the whole world.
