MGMT - Metanoia Lyrics






Metanoia, reshaping the world
It can teach you
And reprogram you
It can show you the flood
That's trapped inside
This one's alive
The tail is breathing
And she's listening
Kill the serpent
Divide, disperse and grow
Into an oak
A silver lining on a black scale
Wicked hunter on three hooves he still rode
But where is the fourth?
You can climb there
To your lofty perch
It can teach you the fairytale of hurt

Mystic referee, don't look on me with scorn
I'm a child, I'm a lover being born
Satchidananda
Disregard the path I'm on
You can justify the action, should you bless
My ambition and my indecisiveness
Satchidananda
Let me know that you exist
Watch me tremble as I'm answering the phone
I am separate from everything you know
Mystic referee I promise to return
Once I've given up and lessons have been learned
Satchidananda
You can watch my fire burn

We were talkin' junk right,
Just before the show
This wild-eyed kid came up to the fence
He took one look at us, and he said:

"Help me,
Drummer,
Ticket,
Yeah!"

We didn't play his favorite song,
Now he'll never come to another show

Hospitals and woods confirm
Red in the eyes of everyone
Parasites and lovers scrape the meat from bones
Turned into jade and tiger's eye
Save me some dark hair over a face like hers
She'll help the rain come to a pour
Bathroom floor of stone and tiles broke in two
Warm where they touch her porcelain
Timid skin I'm careful to untie this road
Wrapped in a knot indifferent
Lion's foot unearthing all the things I've seen
But never truly understood
Rotten wood from oceans that were never green
Crumbles beneath the canopy
Secretly

Let's pretend we never touched the sugar

Tonight, under rose
You won't find another wheel to roll
When autumn winds appear
We wear these fears on our right
It just wants to be surreal 'cause
All dressed in diamond image jeans
Mercury's found in old field
We miserable in love
And chance we walked
Right on in, into the streets of the city but
Watching people disappear
Without reaching out
Years and years
You're left by yourself
On the wheel

    U N D E R R A T E D

  6. A.... t....

    It's little sounds like Bohamian raphsody

  7. f.... ....

    Ya'll feeling how lucky we are that somebody made this music? Like i'm just sitting here and I feel lucky because of the feeling that I am having right now.

    f.... ....

    forgotaboutbre I feel that all the time. True af. Not too many people have that type of appreciation for music.

  8. f.... ....

    Meta-known-ya ¯\_( ツ )_/¯

  9. D.... v....

    He clearly is talking to god

  10. P.... ....

    We changeing the world

  11. S.... ....

    So it's safe to say when a Greatest Hits of theirs is released (And DVD of their videos) it will be the greatest compilation of modern times?

    S.... ....

    They're my favorite band right now, but no, there are some other bands with more/better hits

    S.... ....

    @primo I don't know about better but other bands have definitely done better in the industry

    S.... ....

    @Ryan Coleman there is a difference
    [Edit: there's the difference]

  12. T.... x....

    Reshaping the world

  13. J.... V....

    A few of the verses in this need to be songs of their own

  14. T.... T....

    Just choked on my tangwich

  15. S.... ....

    Who's still here 2018? Who still here for daily play!!!

  16. P.... W....

    This is the cheese.

  17. P.... M....

    Satchidananda means bliss in spanish Bien aventurado.
    Youre welcome

  18. M.... C....

    Why don’t they make more songs like this?

    M.... C....

    Songs like this and Siberian Breaks clearly aren't commercially successful

  19. M.... W....

    4:50 - 6:41 <3 <3 <3 <4 <3

  20. G.... G....

    MGMT is just LSD for your ears.

    And it's a very nice trip.

    G.... G....

    excellent

  21. C.... P....

    Part 1 (0:00 - 1:40)
    Part 2 (1:41 - 3:28)
    Part 3 (3:29 - 5:01)
    Part 4 (5:02 - 6:40)
    Part 5 (6:41 - 9:45)
    Part 6 (9:46 - 11:05)
    Part 7 (11:06 - 14:02)

  22. f.... ....

    I feel all of my favorite artists coming alive in this song: David Bowie, Queen, Pink Floyd, Muse, Marilyn Manson. Pure magic.

  23. M.... W....

    Beautiful psychedelic memorys with this great song. Mystic referee

  24. C.... C....

    the intro is just so good. i keep replaying it over and over, idk y

  25. D.... G....

    In my humble opinion, add "Alien Days" to the mix, although only a normal length song and I would have to agree! MGMT and Tame Impala are probably my two favorite bands these days.

  26. r.... b....

    I love the last part

  27. H.... ....

    NOW HE'LL NEVER COME TO ANOTHER SHOW NOW HE'LL NEVER COME TO ANOTHER SHOW NOW HE'LL NEVER COME TO ANOTHER SHOW NOW HE'LL NEVER COME TO ANOTHER SHOW.
    Well this song sure as fuck isn't about me, thats for sure.

  28. d.... ....

    awesome. the full Bowie is so sick

  29. S.... K....

    Definitely elements of an Homage to Bowie’s Cygnet Committee

  30. L.... ....

    I point and laugh at people who still want MGMT to make Electric Feels and Time to Pretends.

    L.... ....

    To be fair, Time to Pretend is its own kind of high. Love the contrast between the music and the words.

  31. T.... P....

    Wow I just as able to go really deep with this song 👌🏻 thanks

  32. K.... J....

    This is: the answer.

  33. I.... z....

    fuck feelings

  34. N.... ....

    Can please someone explain the lyrics for me? lol

  35. K.... B....

    11:04 that belongs in a dystopian film.

  36. D.... G....

    11:00 until the end transports me to my perfect world

  37. B.... R....

    What album is this from?

    B.... R....

    It's released as a single around the Time to Pretend era.

  38. A.... V....

    pyta merda q delicia de musica

  39. K.... L....

    are u kidding me? ive been a fan of mgmt for 6 years and only heard this song today ?!?!!? HOW

    K.... L....

    A real fan should know this song since Oracular spectacular

    K.... L....

    Im a real fan. I just hate other people and the internet. I try and stay away from both. Ive been a fan of MGMT since 2011-2012 and i just found both this and Siberia yesterday. Better late than never

  40. B.... ....

    Sounds like an alternate version of Siberian Breaks

    B.... ....

    No really, Siberian Breaks is the alternate version of this.

  41. h.... y....

    wonderful...Magical and outlandish.

  42. B.... B....

    MGMT <3

  43. a.... ....

    It's like Queen, Bowie, Pink Floyd and Led Zepps mixed together

    a.... ....

    Exactly my thoughts! :)

    a.... ....

    Alaaa mierdaa eso sí que sería una combinación brutal!! :O

  44. H.... D....

    💸💸💸👻♥️👽😹👼🏻

  45. X.... P....

    I had an orgasm at 8:50.
    For real. I had to put on music to cover the sound of my vibrator.

  46. J.... S....

    lets pretend we never touched the sugar.

  47. N.... C....

    7:00<333333😍😍 forever in love with Andrew vanwyngarden

  48. E.... A....

    Is it just me, or does the lead singer (Andrew VanWyngarden) sound kind of like Jimmy Page?!

  49. N.... S....

    best thing ever.

  50. s.... ....

    this band MGMT is like a bastard baby of Pink Floyd and The Beatles

    s.... ....

    I hear it. I love it.

    s.... ....

    The Beatles? Shit no, dud

    s.... ....

    @Deathcrush Every listen to Sgt.Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band? If so, you will hear similarities

    s.... ....

    Mmmm Ween should be the true son. And MGMT Is your son.

  51. Y.... J....

    6:45 😍😍😍

  52. T.... S....

  55. T.... H....

    Fallout 4

  56. M.... Y....

    Dad remember me.!

  57. N.... V....

    This song speaks right through me, when I'm insecure most of all... Sometimes all we need is some metanoia.

    N.... V....

    oh i love this side of youtube

    N.... V....

    music is love, share love

    N.... V....

    That's kinda edgy

    N.... V....

    Resumiu perfeitamente

  58. R.... C....

    3:37....is that Henry Rollins talking or am I tweaking

    R.... C....

    +Rebeca Cervantes What the hell are you talking about brotha

    R.... C....

    +jasen muller dude I swear that's Henry Rollins talking at 3:33

    R.... C....

    +Rebeca Cervantes Ohhh.. It doesn't really sound like him, kind of sounds like andrew putting on a voice, but maybe modeled after something Henry once said or something?

    R.... C....

    It's ben goldwasser (the keyboardist)

  59. R.... C....

    This is incredible

  60. B.... ....

    Very Beatles :P LOVE IT :)

  61. C.... M....

    1:35 to 1:51 queen?

    Y.... V....

  64. F.... G....

    It's all in your head

    K.... ....

  68. d.... ....

    great stuff had each cd in car each summer for several years

  69. I.... C....

    Not even close to being as good as Siberian Breaks, but it's a pretty trippy tune.

  70. D.... ....

    1:51 goes full David Bowie

    D.... ....

    Do you know songs that are like that?

    D.... ....

    Denim94 More like Led Zeppelin than Bowie

    D.... ....

    in the light- Led zeppelin

    D.... ....

    Yall are wrong. It goes full on Pink Floyd the Wall...

  71. 4.... ....

    JIMSTER WAS HERE*_+

    Im riding the bus from San Jose to Los Angeles and its been 6 hours so far. Theres 30 minutes left though for me to arrive to LA.

  85. B.... M....

    this song got me high

  86. B.... T....

    IDK why but this song is so soothing, not to mention brings up flashbacks of the riskier days and the lovely comedowns

  87. C.... L....

    What album is this from? Can't believe I missed this

    C.... L....

    tis a single

    C.... L....

    @Austin Crane An EP, in fact.

    C.... L....

    Oddly enough, it's considered a B-Side of Oracular Spectacular, despite it having a more Congratulations style sound. I'm pretty sure it was released in the time gap between those two albums.

    C.... L....

    Yes, only in vinil i guess

  88. T.... K....

    Metanoia and Siberian Breaks are the best fucking songs of all time!

    T.... K....

    Marry me?

    T.... K....
