Cover art for Of Moons, Birds & Monsters lyrics by MGMT

i think it means...how much are you willing to make things change in your life? you decide your own destiny. take control cuz its all in your hands. be the director of your own life.

I think that this song is trying to say that you have to take resposibility for your actions...good or bad and that even the smallest mistake can cause the worst chain of events. "The prick of a feather could make a kingdom burn and the bloodshed start." But im not sure thats just my "guess."
