Cover art for Four Cypresses lyrics by Grizzly Bear

Society is complete bullshit, and this song can see through it. Instead of living in a more natural and primitive state, and be free as individuals, we choose to cooperate, living in a pile. Is chaos but it works. And suddenly you find yourself living in a complete artificial state, with just four cypresses seen from the neighbor yard, and the dreadful sound of airplanes flying through your generic artificial simple life. Some crumbling form to be torn down. Let's be free!
