I believe this song to be about some very deepening psychedelic manners, like everything, literally everything is in a constant form of contradiction, for example the meaning in the symbolism of the yin and yang. Andrew has definitely had some life altering experiences happen to him since Congratulations, this is a very transcendental song, reminds a lot of Jim Morrison and the Doors and it brings me to the conclusion that this song is basically about the Unknown and all the things in front of our faces that we have not analytically broken down yet and come to realize. Andrew Vanwyngarden has definitely broken through some barrier and raised his consciousness to completely new levels, I think he's getting information from other worldly manifestations and writing songs about it, I could always be wrong though. MGMT is a hell of a band but I think only "weirdos" can really understand some of the subjects they talk about in their songs
