Lied van de week: week 46 - 2017

Little dark age - MGMT

Zo revolutionair als op hun debuut Oracular spectacular (met de geweldige singles Kids, Time to pretend en Electric feel) klinkt MGMT niet meer, al is het natuurlijk wel leuk dat ze eindelijk nog eens een nieuwe nummer uithebben. Dat klinkt lekker poppy en gaat vergezeld van een leuke, onderhoudende clip.

Je kan deze single hier kopen.

Lyrics:

breathing in the dark 
lying on its side 
the ruins of the day 
painted with a scar 
and the more I straighten out 
the less it wants to try 
the feelings start to rot 
one wink at a time 

oh 
forgiving who you are 
for what you stand to gain 
just know that if you hide 
it doesn’t go away 
when you get out of bed 
don’t end up stranded 
horrified with each stone 
on the stage 
my little dark age 

picking through the cards 
knowing what’s nearby 
the carvings on the face 
say they find it hard 
and the engine’s failed again 
all limits of disguise 
the humor’s not the same 
coming from denial 

oh 
I grieve in stereo 
the stereo sounds strange 
I know that if you hide 
it doesn’t go away 
if you get out of bed 
and find me standing all alone 
open-eyed 
burn the page 
my little dark age 

 I grieve in stereo 
the stereo sounds strange 
you know that if it hides 
it doesn’t go away 
if I get out of bed 
you’ll see me standing all alone 
horrified 
on the stage 
my little dark age 

giddy with delight 
seeing what’s to come 
the image of the dead 
dead ends in my mind 

policemen swear to god 
love’s seeping from the guns 
I know my friends and I 
would probably turn and run 
if you get out of bed 
come find us heading for the bridge 
bring a stone 
all the rage 
my little dark age 

 I grieve in stereo 
the stereo sounds strange 
I know that if you hide 
it doesn’t go away 
if you get out of bed 
and find me standing all alone 
open-eyed 
burn the page 
my little dark age
