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
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
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

Bird, Andrew Darkmatter Comments
I can't be the only one to think these are bizarrely similar:

👾😱
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!
Well said!
Love it
beautiful
cool dead silence at the end
fkn srsly who is this guy
Andrew Bird
Awesome video! If ya get a chance you should check out one of ours! Hope you like it!
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
so, you don't like it is what you're trying to say?
@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
@cancerian24j
ur gay
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?
cheesecakey people can voice opinions. get over yourself.
Like this is you found this from the movie "Norman"
oh this was a sad attempt
I tried. Didn't work. Lol oh well.
Perfection
couldnt have phrased that better
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".
that's a lotta halves
Thumbs up the the iPad 3 promo got you here!
or fergie and jesus.
Saw him open with this at a wilco concert with him...holy shy....
I'm a Mac since apple led me to this awesome artist I've been. Andrew bird listener sine the ipad 3 than apple and Andrew bird
Such an excellent song. I am happy the lyrics are posted with it, but the lyrics are out of order, and some lines are inaccurate.
Andrew Bird is Andrew Bird. He sounds like Andrew Bird.
all at the same time
you wanna be my new favorite singer? * - * pleasepleaseplease
That's 200% :O
No. No one can be compared with him.
this song is as old as time itself. I love It. so much.
with a last name of Bird
what on earth did you expect?
just discovering this genius now. which album should i get first?
The one with fiery crash or scythian empire. They might be on the same album cant remember I just listen.
Oops 7 years ago lol
please look up 'Sweetbreads', it's kind of like the first version of this tune, and it's great
friggin LOVE this song...been hittin the replay button like a tweaker
!! This man...
I have a friend named Andrew. And another we all call "Bird" and neither of them can compare to Andrew Bird.
@thelegend759 are you fucking kidding?
@Shoovit as andrew bird's music as a whole, i beg to differ. in fact i plead!
ctia wireless sent me here
@kaylashalaylaaaaa i think you should include jeff buckley too coz he has some vibrato moments which sounds just like him
sounds a bit like killers
his whistling is fantastic !!! >3
@derposi NO U!
TORE THE SPINES FROM OUT OF ALL OF THESE SELF HELP BOOKS
sounds a bit like travis?!
seriously...
"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 it's true locatioooooooon?"
the best.
where most of us think in words, he thinks in melodies
He just oozes pure talent. Effortless. It's incredible.
I wuv this son so fucking much!
my brain just exploded
i feel like i'm going on an adventure
loved that game!
fucking love this song
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.
kind of reminds me of the start of picnic at hanging rock
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)
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..
aha
This song is starting to grow on me.. I still like sweetbreads more..
that's because he's tripping BALLS!
Genius.
'Nuff said.
<3
im glad my friend introduce me to this guy. He is a GREAT singer
this is so incredible! i can't believe I heard of him sooner!
Is that the album cover? So wonderful... ah.. love it. :)
Amazing. I wish I could whistle and write and sing and play and everything like he can.
