MGMT - Siberian Breaks Lyrics






Sleep as the goer
The bridge that watches the light speed thru
And cries while the spirit stumbles
The inside missile for the protection of you

Maybe it's silent
The voice can't bear anymore strain
But speaks without even knowing
And streams outside in the direction of truth

There's no reason, there's no secret to decode
If you can't save it, leave it dying on the road
Wide open arms can feel so cold
So cold
Feel so cold

Balance the books, the ledges, the loons
The disappointed look on the faces that squint at the moon
Let's see it with shadows enhanced
And then vote to decide who'll advance

Silver jet plane making a turn
Exciting the brain that expects it to crash and then burn
It's not the life lesson I'd've guessed
If you're conscious you must be depressed
Or at least cynical

But someone might still eat the steaks
Even if they're tough
Spending the day
Chewing the fat
Floating away isn't rough but it's not enough

Oh Marianne, pass me the joint
The sandpaper's tan
Go-getters are surfing the point
And London's a scratch on the lens
It's over before it begins

Silk 'round her neck falls down to her shoulders
The older I get, the more I suspect there's a trick
But really there's no trip at all
That doesn't result in a fall
Or a faltering

But something might spit out the bait
Even if it's real
Rolling away
Missing a spoke
Close to the ground like a wheel but it's not a joke

Holding the line
Clutching the phone
Nobly wasting the night, but it isn't right
It's not right
Smelling for blood
Praying for rain
Running away isn't rough
But it's not enough

The low tide's telling me when it's over,
To breathe in everything exposed
And comes back to cover me with a blanket
Being here's always changing tunes

The empty sky surrounds me but I can't see at all
Wide open arms can feel so cold
And you can sit beside me and tell me what it's worth
But I hope I die before I get sold
I hope I die before I get sold
I'd rather die before I get sold

If you find the soul that you lost
Frozen in a starry void
Take it within and hope the sight of blood
Can will signs of life to return
Back to the way that it was
Long before it made a noise
To keep on quietly reminding you
What's never created or destroyed

Wake as the swell peaks
The close-outs drowning the birds with roars
And howls scare the new unkindness
That picks and laughs at the carrion scene

Forces you see breathe can always go into hiding
And wait 'til it passes over
Or stay far gone for all eternity

MGMT Siberian Breaks Comments
  1. G.... R....

    8:20-9:55 almost made me cry

  2. N.... ....

    I don’t even listen to mgmt but this is 🤤🤤🤤

  3. C.... K....

    If a progressive or psychedelic from the 70s time traveled to modern times, I imagine this is what it would sound like. This is one of the most surreal things I've ever heard.

  4. R.... ....

    The new Tame Impala album makes me want to pause it and come listen to this it’s good but this is much better imo

  5. F.... ....

    FOR ETERNITY

  6. A.... K....

    well, I'm sitting here in 2020 and this brings me back when I was 20yo fallen in love like insane, daydreaming in my small dark room in parents' house. good times, salty-sweet.

  7. L.... H....

    this hits different years later

  8. S.... L....

    Not even a million views. Not even a thousand comments.

    On one hand I am disappointed, on the other, I feel privileged to be part of this small group listening to this absolute masterpiece.

  9. 8.... H....

    I just now realized that the wave is shaped like an animals head about to eat the surfer animal..

  10. B.... U....

    How have I not listened to this like I heard congratulations and I have dug that for like four years groovy mr surfing cat the secrets you hide

  11. 4.... ....

    This song gave my balls goosebumps

  12. D.... G....

    Man, its been a LOONG time since i heard this one...but the second it started it all came flooding back to me. Such a jam.

  13. Z.... G....

    The last section / outro / whatever you want to call it sent me places man

  14. H.... W....

    Sounds like a mixture of Pink Floyd and Pet Sounds-era Beach Boys, with hints of Simon & Garfunkel and early Genesis. Hard to believe something this amazing came out in this century.

  15. A.... E....

    8:21
    I COOMED

  16. F.... T....

    ola hųğœ

  17. r.... ....

    She came in thru the bathroom window....... protected by a silver spoon!

  18. D.... Y....

    What a great song 😎♻️

  19. R.... ....

    I have just the one problem with this song. I'ts too short.

  20. m.... ....

    Does Circles by Post Malone remind anyone else of this? The beginning.

  21. C.... ....

    An underrated masterpiece

  22. L.... A....

    This song helped me when i was on a bad lsd trip, just can say thank you mgmt for this amazing music !

  23. A.... S....

    I feel bliss and calm. Don't fuck with my vibe

  24. W.... L....

    tell your kids that giants walked the earth...

  25. V.... T....

    Es el mejor tema que e escuchado de este grupo, una verdadera joya.

  26. t.... s....

    This band is the result of reading where the sidewalk ends instead of doing your homework.

  27. D.... P....

    Best song ever made.... still listening in 2019...

  28. A.... S....

    No matter how troubled I am, this song always gives a momentary calm. The psychedelic way of looking at all the meaningless and pain is amazing. Thank you MGMT!

  29. V.... B....

    God, I freaking love MGMT.

  30. C.... H....

    183 dislikes .....

  31. d.... ....

    So beautiful sometimes it seems like
    Abbey Road side 3. I'm so happy that I learned about these guys. Someone's Missing also magical.

  32. V.... E....

    I'd long to drop my comments on real MGMT channel to display my appreciation, but for the mere reason of uploading this song, you've earned my insignificant warmth of approval. Thanks for the joy and love.

  33. G.... 7....

    I love this whole album

  34. A.... ....

    Great song. Awful lyric video. The font color literally camouflages with the background and the lyrics fade in after they’re sang.

    A.... ....

    Does it really matter if you know the lyrics by heart?

    A.... ....

    Lil Fuego no but this is literally a lyric video so.....

  35. B.... G....

    Vine por una recomendación que hizo alguien en un comentario de un video

    this song is better than anything the beatles ever made

  43. S.... G....

    Qué genialidad esto!

  44. B.... E....

    I remember dancing to this song live with my ex boyfriend in 2010. It was playing on my phone after he hung up on me the last time we spoke. He passed away three years ago and I think of him every time I hear it.

  45. w.... ....

    My favorite song will always probably be this one. Its amazing when ever I listen to it.

    Still nostalgic ... 2019

  76. S.... V....

    Siempre ha sido una de mis canciones de MGMT, es increíble. Estos chicos saben...

  77. o.... ....

    This song is like the Mamas and the Papas meets the Moody Blues meets The Beach Boys. I can't imagine how much thought went into making it.

  78. D.... R....

    This was their encore last May at the LA Palladium. Good times.

  79. n.... ....

  80. R.... A....
