King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Trapdoor Lyrics

I don’t remember this scene from Holy Grail...

I like the part about the trapdoor

Bzzz bzzzz that’s a hot swing baby

Galexybrain idea: trapdoor means the band members are actually trapped and ran out of food and are going crazy

Is this song a reference to the 80’s British claymation show of the same name?
Always thought it was.

Tractor tractor that tractor trac

I really liked when he said that trapdoor thing

ADORE this song. I'm mad i missed the chance to play it on halloween.

The Little Dark Age (MGMT) video but make it lower budget

Eric in a knight costume gets me every time

am i the only one who hears "balrog" instead of trapdoor?

This feels like a monty python skit if everyone did crack

the original trap music

that ending shot is just fuckin scary

Trapdoor sounds like a villain theme from a 30s cartoon

The metaphorical trapdoor that leads to the dark depths of each individual's unconscious. I love how KGATLW explore so many psychological and psychedelic themes.

T A B L E J O E

This isn’t even a music video it’s just like this when they record

Trapdoor but everytime that Stu says trapdoor, he says gamma knife, and says balrog, and says rattlesnake

I feel like these guys drop acid, and then are just released into open areas with props and the cameras start rolling.

This >>> game of thrones

Best video clip ever..

What’s crazy imo is I hear Lord of Lightning vs The Balrog first and I love how they use the sample the flute from the song “trapdoor”, it makes everything more sp00ki 👻🤖🛑

Do yourself a favour n play this at the next party, watchem swarm. Trust me.

2:34. Ohhhhh hate that, stop that, please just never do that thank you.

The flute part sounds like 3:03-3:15 of Hot Water

0:08 on my way to fuck your bitch.

Stu is killing me lmao

Def my favourite album by King Gizzard!

i could imagine this being a song on the mighty boosh if it was made around this releasing

Cursed_musicvideo

Beautiful song

Wow fucking freak ghost

Stu looks good in Hijab

Don't said that or Stu will released Nasheed Rock album with KG...

KE WENA KANSION POR LA MIERD

POR LA CHUCHA K WENA

I am now binge watching that childrens animated series to desperately enjoy some nostalgia before I lose any memory of it completely.

Which one ?

Sounds a little like Dharma for one by Jethro Tull

This song is basically just Rattlesnake but with acoustic guitars

I love king gizz don't get me wrong, but.....
"trap door, trap door, trap door, trap door"

"Hot wax, hot wax, hot wax"

"Celophane, celophane, celophane, celophane"

"Rattlesnake, rattlesnake, rattlesnake"

It's all the same repetitive two lyrics with different melodies. (I still like gizz just pointing this out)

is trapdoor trogdor´s brother?

Stu and his medieval fantasies

Turn up the speed to 1.25 to get more anxiety

thank got am not watching this high, that ending sp00ped the shit outta me

Que increíble banda, había encontrado reminiscencias en su sonido de Krokodil y Amon Düül II y ahora también de Black Widow o Focus. Adoro el sonido que tienen :-{D

This is what I call love at first sight

man this is the best shit

1:23 Was anyone else scared that the sheet would catch fire? I want to keep hearing new Gizzard Albums!

Jason galea is the best video maker i Ever seen

Does anyone know where this was filmed? I'd like to visit. I have been to the Gamma Knife/People Vultures location in Emerald and the Lord of Lightning Redwood forest in East Warburton.

in the crumbling castle mate

haha nice m8
hella jealous

The staircase bit was filmed inside a WW2 bunker in Hamburg, Germany (Flakturm IV), where they've played shows in the past. Don't know about the other parts though

Mute the vocals and you'd get a pretty cool Castlevania level song

Maybe it will be a nice surprise for you that someone did that already :)

Getting alot of Halloween vibes

Stu definitely looks like Idubbbz in this this

owo whats this

Damit i cant stop watching this dam thing.

this music is fucking amazing. Especially on shrooms which im currently on.

silly scooby doo chase music

I think the trapdoor may be a trap?

Ear Noodles No it’s a door

Love this song and all songs of KG&TLW; greetings from Chile.

I didn't see Ambrose? :(

nah, 0:13 he’s in white

Please play this when you come to Seattle next time. Or Hot Water. Gotta hear some jazz flute!!

This sucks just like Primus

Zac Carroll wow now that really hurts...

trap influenced beats

I think trapdoor means the leaks and disappearances of the weed vibe from the brain that then leaks out from you and you can somehow see it happening through visualisation. The monsters represent the beasts within you trying to threaten you into thinking you'll fall into the hole within you (this hole weed vibe is only applicable to high people). The weird people are the ones inside of you that are trying either organise this whole operation, and are trying to take away your weed vibe from you. Or are trying to stop the ones that are trying to steal your weed vibe.

TrapDoor

No lucas, don't eat Joey!

What's under the door? I guess not everybody knows.

uh....a trap?

Nonagon infinity opens the door

Have you heard the murmurings of
b a l r o g
b a l r o g
b a l r o g
b a l r o g
b a l r o g

the deepest lore

Where do they say that??? I swear I can't hear it

@Zion If you play both songs at once you'll notice it

Hot water, hot water, hot waaaater

@obscurelobster I wonder if the trapdoor is the door to a nuclear bunker, going off of the whole "pre/post-apocalypse" version of the gizzverse theory.

That Knight is totally motoring along like "I'm not on drugs RN"

there's a balrog under that door

BALROG BALROG BALROG BALROG
TRAP DOOR TRAP DOOR TRAP DOOR TRAP

Jarrah West An altered Beast under the trapdoor that nonagon infinity opened.

PurpleLizard 23 maybe, but what if trapdoor is a metafore (nice engl m8) for a doorway to the fall of civilization, which is discribed in FMB (climat change, etc.), and nonagon infinity is a ritual that opens the door between two parallel universes? (basically i just found a thread on king gizzard fans reddit, where dude tried to group up and find out the timeline and events occuring in the gizzverse)

This video contains no trap doors.

The Demented Gamer this IS the trap door

*baitdoor*

jokes, but eh ig what's inside the.... castle(?) is what's behind the trapdoor?? ig

AM NEW

AlienToStudy This is a serial killer album. Read names of each song in the album. So I would say that in this case corpses or living people are under the trapdoor ;)

At first I thought it was the creepiest song in the world but now I love it lmao

DROGAS MUCHAS DROGAS GENIAL!!!!

Time signature?

All in 4/4 except for the "trapdoor trapdoor trapdoor trap" parts, which are in 7/4. Listen for the bass drun and snare. There's a bass drum note every quarter note and then a snare on the 'ands'. It changes to 4/4 during the verses and when the flute comes in.

i thought it's a kinda 4/4/1 timeline for the trapdoor part, but however you see it right :)

Well i'm pretty sure it just doesn't work like that. It has to be in some sort of septuple meter. It could be notated as 4/4, 4/4, 6/4, but that seems over complicated; it could also be notated as alternating 4/4 and 3/4, but that's just 7/4. I'm curious as to how you're counting that the loop could be divided into 9 beats. It's one beat "taken away" from 4/4, not "added".

scooby doo on acid

This is cooking out hard

This is definitely me when i'm listening to Trapdoor.

Stu in a sheet looks like Greg Fox

The guy looks like iDubbbz.

and the tablecloth dude looks like the smosh guy: Anthony Padilla

hijab looks good on you

th3FT pUnK As you can see it’s a actually a negative space hijab.

these guys reminds me that im nuts too

Very Monty Python-esque and the Holy Grail-ish. hahahaha

and some Mighty Boosh

Who are those?! Or what's that? hahaha Is it Australian? I don't know.

a very strange British TV show consisting of 3 seasons, created by noel fielding & julian barratt - WATCH IT - v funny, v weird

Humberto Sandoval monty python are one of the best british absurd humorists ever, basically.

They're the kings that say Gizz

loooool

Great spooky atmosphere kind of like the old hammer horror films.

reminds me on Catweazle and his frog Kuelwalda

i gotta say, King Giz deff makes some of the most eerily dark themed songs to date

Such a tasty jam, video is rad too

tripdoor

gotta love youtube ramdomness

he got to be careful with the cape and dem candles though

Today on "WTF did I just watch?", King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard with Trapdoor...

These guys know exalticly waht psydyckialy efficiency is

what type of door was it again?

a trap door

May be the kind of door the Nonagon Infinity would be inclined to open.

NONAGON INFINITY OPENS THE DOOR

Rat’s Door

Astolfo door

love it!

Remember that old kids show the trap door? If they were to reboot the show this should be the theme

Pretty sure I've still got it on VHS knocking about somewhere.

Everything makes sense to me now.

+ActionHorizon i know right
