Mystery Disease Lyrics

Cover art for Mystery Disease lyrics by MGMT

i think it's about introversion. people are losing their capacity to get along with each other,becoming more and more introverted,ignoring reality. this sums up everything: It can’t pay attention What slips into the system

people think that it's not worth travelling to places or get to know new people,and are replacing them by computers and stuff,till there will be a day when we will suffer because we lack wood for the trees (a irl social basis):

Consumed by a weakness Cut with perpetual unrest You see stars, sunsets blurred through a screen, Trap what you want, waste what you need

Small fronds can’t see the wood for the trees, Left in the dust of the mystery disease
