Bird, Andrew - Darkmatter Lyrics






When I was just a little boy
I threw away all of my action toys
While I became obsessed with operation

With hearts and minds and certain glands
You gotta learn to keep a steady hand
And thus began my morbid fascination

Tore the spines from out of all of these self-help books
Made myself a gun that not only shoots but looks
So real
It shoots through steel
With rays of dark matter

Do you wonder where the self resides
Is it in your head or between your sides
And who will be the one who will decide
Its true location
And does the thought of bile that's red and black
The thought of tongues that taste you back
Fill you with a naus-eous-eous sort of elation

A noose is loosed around our necks made of DNA
And every day it's growing tighter no matter what they do or say
And you can shoot right through it with rays of dark matter
Just before they kick out the ladder
With rays of dark matter
Like something catching fire

Do you wonder where the self resides
Is it in your head or between your sides
And who will be the one who will decide
Its true location

    I can't be the only one to think these are bizarrely similar:

  2. P.... H....

    👾😱

  3. s.... ....

    This is such awesome music. Such a great combination of sounds. I don't know... So uplifting but also kinda sad, but it just makes me want to smile and dance, happy that I get to live my life. I can't seem to find any songs from him that are remotely like this!

    s.... ....

    Well said!

  4. O.... R....

    Love it

  5. R.... C....

    beautiful

  6. s.... ....

    cool dead silence at the end

  7. T.... T....

    T.... T....

    Andrew Bird

  8. T.... L....

    Awesome video! If ya get a chance you should check out one of ours! Hope you like it!

  9. T.... ....

    sounds exactly like every other band/artist that conforms to the indie genre stereotypes. from the shitty wolf parade-style vocals to the boring chords to the unimaginative drums. pretentious and in the end its just meaningless and shitty lol

    T.... ....

    so, you don't like it is what you're trying to say?

    T.... ....

    @Traxxasred Oh? Please enlighten us then? Whats "good" non pretentious music?

    I think you need a reminder that musical genres exist to group similar styles together. With your logic, we could even say that classical music is degenerative bc it all "sounds the same"
    Tbh, I'll never understand the elitism yall associate with music, please get over yourself

    T.... ....

    @cancerian24j
    ur gay

    T.... ....

    Traxxasred excuse me, but when you decide you do not like this style/genre of music, do not take it out on us for liking it, just keep it to yourself and don't comment or even listen to this genre, okay?

    T.... ....

    cheesecakey people can voice opinions. get over yourself.

  10. S.... L....

    Like this is you found this from the movie "Norman"

    S.... L....

    The second verse opening is wrong in the lyrics above. It goes "Does the thought of all this red and black / The thought of tongues that taste you back / Fill you with a nause-auseous sort of elation".

  49. D.... ....

    It's unfortunate that more people don't know about him, but nowadays, most can't be bothered to care about philosophy, and the sciences.

  50. m.... ....

    kind of reminds me of the start of picnic at hanging rock

  51. C.... ....

    maybe hes a genious straight up. not knockin the theory though COULD be valid havent seen any signs during live shows ive watched if anything i could be wrong.....(counterproductive comment wasnt it)

  52. L.... U....

    The lyrics in the description are wrong..
    Not trying to be anal but lyrics is what makes the song so it'd be nice to get it right..
