MGMT - Time To Pretend Lyrics

First heard this on end of Season 2 of Skins - great track

I'm feelin' rough I'm feelin' raw I'm in the prime of my life
Let's make some music make some money find some models for wives
I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin and fuck with the stars
You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars

This is our decision to live fast and die young
We've got the vision, now let's have some fun
Yeah it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?

Forget about our mothers and our friends
We were fated to pretend

I'll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms
I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world
I'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home
Yeah I'll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone

But there is really nothing, nothing we can do
Love must be forgotten. Life can always start up anew
The models will have children, we'll get a divorce,
We'll find some more models, everything must run its course

We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end
We were fated to pretend
To pretend
We were fated to pretend
To pretend
I said yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah

Hi Shaswat Manu

@Pragya Prakash nein

Hi there, here's the lyrics guy:

I'm feelin' rough I'm feelin' raw I'm in the prime of my life
Let's make some music make some money find some models for wives
I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin and fuck with the stars
You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars

This is our decision to live fast and die young
We've got the vision, now let's have some fun
Yeah it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?

Forget about our mothers and our friends
We were fated to pretend

I'll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms
I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world
I'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home
Yeah I'll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone

But there is really nothing, nothing we can do
Love must be forgotten. Life can always start up anew
The models will have children, we'll get a divorce,
We'll find some more models, everything must run its course

We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end
We were fated to pretend
To pretend
We were fated to pretend
To pretend
I said yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah

2020 we still here ❤️

The lyrics FeelsBadMan

This video reminds me of what I was experiencing in my mind when I smoked Colorado river toad venom in Mexico for the 1st time. Mind blowing incredible experience.

Anti illuminati clip

MGMT meet MAGA in 2020. Let's not pretend anymore. Peace from Seattle Washington USA

Milllennial acid kids. Please put on a shirt.

Spoiler Alert: This is not what acid feels like

Must be nice to watch while on acid tho

I want everyone at my funeral to take ecstasy and listen to this shif on repeat... sober up go to work the next day and quit... then hike the Appalachian trail or something else worth doing

Then everyone at your funeral is gonna be horny from the molly

Welcome to 2020, where MGMT paved the way for the norms of today’s music and are about to make a new album

I beat up my mother and my friends.....0_=

Alguien tiene esta música en español?

Just enjoy the song guys, put any meaning you want. As long as you know who you are.

Sex Drive (2008) OST!

I love the whole album 😁

Cada vez que veo este vídeo me llegan memorias de la primera y única vez que estuve en Madrid y conocí en sala But a David Fernández un joven vasco si estás leyendo esto no he podido sacarte de mí mente y esos momentos fueron definitivamente como lo indica esta canción "the Time of my Lite "

Engineering raised the volume a little too high. But still a great song and better if remastered.

cancion de cinepolis :v

Imagine Spider Man listening to this

Love must be forgotten. Life can always start up anew. STRONGEST FREAKING WORDS THAT CAUSE A LUMP IN THE THROAT!!!

Insurgent 🤘🇮🇩

Nostalgia

Mano essa turma usa umas drogas de leve
Uns rivotril é cada clipe que sei não

I love this song. So fun. I give them great credit for combining genuine lyrics, creative beats and novel visuals. It’s a stand out amongst the melange of mediocrity that is today’s music.

thins song makes me wanna kill myself in a good way

nah just vibe

1:26 is when you get a hair in your mouth

the irony and joke of life is that youth is never appreciated by the young.
There is nothing to say. Nothing changes from generation to generation
it's always the same. When you appreciate its wonder you'll be past it.
But, don't despair, for everything that is lost new things are acquired if
you don't experience life from the caboose always viewing where you've
been.
But, this video is bittersweet it brings back images of a distant past
But, for me, 'I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now' :)

When ur parents get you a green screen for christmas

I''m feelin' rough I'm feelin' raw I'm in the prime of my life
Let's make some music make some money find some models for wives
I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin and fuck with the stars
You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars
This is our decision to live fast and die young
We've got the vision, now let's have some fun
Yeah it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?
Forget about our mothers and our friends
We were fated to pretend
I'll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms
I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world
I'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home
Yeah I'll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone
But there is really nothing, nothing we can do
Love must be forgotten. Life can always start up anew
The models will have children, we'll get a divorce,
We'll find some more models, everything must run its course
We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end
We were fated to pretend
To pretend
We were fated to pretend
To pretend
I said yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah

Christmas day! 2019 still dropping this at the party

being HS seniors and thinking were cool. Smoking pot and doing shit.

Why the hell do I Love this song so much, it's beyond all reason

this song reminds me of my brother he was the one jammi shyt….
ng to it n then I said to myself dammm this song is the

Fuck I miss travelling

Like if it’s 2025 and you’re still listening to this.





Where’s my acid?

Huh, only 3 of you. Meanwhile, I'm in 2026

They knew what they were doin

my acid trip

"I'll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone"... beautiful and sad words

"shoot some heroin and fuck with the stars" is the best lyrics ever.

I miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world.

Now 2020 (LIT) most of the songs are made to be listen while being drugged because we are all a drug addict generation tho, how time has passed...

I'm feelin' rough I'm feelin' raw I'm in the prime of my life
Let's make some music make some money find some models for wives
I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin and fuck with the stars
You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars
This is our decision to live fast and die young
We've got the vision, now let's have some fun
Yeah it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?

I'll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms
I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world
I'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home
Yeah I'll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone
But there is really nothing, nothing we can do
Love must be forgotten. Life can always start up anew
The models will have children, we'll get a divorce,
We'll find some more models, everything must run its course

2020 anyone?

Who Else Came From the Movie Sex Drive haha

One of the coolest songs ever

:47 through :55 was so freaking adorable

Who else is listening on their 1944 Volksempfänger?

im here cause that one guy is HOT

Here from “‘Hit Me With Your Genie’s Bottle’ Instrumental (Sort Of)” as it sounds like they sampled the instruments from this song. Took FOREVER to find out what the name of this thing was.

god damn everytime i hear him say "were fated to pretend" it hits me hard because my parents divorced, i'm living in poverty and i suspect
my dad might even be doing drugs again. hes homeless and my mom is lucky to have found a boyfriend nice enough to let us live in his home after my mom
got evicted. shit hits the fan real quick in life. but keep my chin up, because i know other people have it way worse than me. remember, everythings gonna be alright people.
i love you all.

The chance factor affects everyone and there is nothing you can
do about it. So as they say into every life a little rain must fall.
But as you navigate your personal 'ship' and it always runs
aground, the Universe is saying get new 'navigational charts'
the ones you are following are flawed.
Stay with your optimism it will maintain you while you wait
for the miracle. Good luck! :)

Your Story made me tear in my eyes. I am a really emphatic human and have Seen much Bad things. I have had a difficult childhood too and have been through a hard time.. I love your Attitude, i am Sure you will find your way. I Wish you the best for your live mate <3

Keep going bagel lord. If you ever feel alone just remembering we are all supporting you!

What's your cashapp mayne?

Bagel lord shit are you okay

Mikey ❤️

I stopped listening to music for 2 months, the first song I listen to after that was this, I began crying and almost suicided before my mother found me with a knife.

Lord of the flies is wack huh

Who came here because

Watched this drunk and realised I fancy Andrew, or “MGMT man” as I was calling him

Phoebe Morton I’m a dude and I agree

Jemand von Wissenswert hier? ;)

This song came out the beginning of my senior year in highschool. Set the precidense for the entire year and then some ♥️♥️♥️

Can someone tell me the purposes or meaning of this video. I still haven’t done acid :/

3:34 hitchhikers guide to the galaxy reference I’m sure

Its cool that at the end he defeated the monster with pyrotechnics and the dolphins were released.

I'm here for 21 BlackJack

Wish they'd continue to change pop music like they did here. Just because their new music is weird and different, doesn't mean it's good

It is beautiful to see a photo montage of the Chichen Itza pyramid, fantastic MGMT, I love this song.

Viva Mexico!! ♥

El principio parece ser la de caballo homoxesual de las montañas

This song speaks directly to my crippled soul. I listen to the lyrics and i am moved so damn deeply. im not able to cry anymore but songs like these are connecting directly to my suppressed feelings...even my eyes get a little wet. i hope someday the "thing" im holding onto unconsciously will reveal itself to me so i can let go of it and be happy again.

wooow🌺🎶🙈🌈🌞

Fuckk! I've been looking for this song for years!!!

Directors budget for the video:

Green screen studio
Trip to the beach
Rental of two cats



Oh and don't forget a years supply of LSD

돌아가고파 ... 십대로

2008...

I’ve never wanted to do heroin in my life but when I hear this song yeah I kind of want to

heroin is my vice, its overated

Empire of the sun del ayer

"We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end, we were fated to pretend" the way he sings that so hopelessly

not about shooting heroine wtf man. I like some on these guys songs but i draw a line.

Bunch of coolest eletric hippies

Song sounds better with no vocals

Holy Mountain references

so this is how it looks like to be fucked with drugs

The mind of your average MGMT band member:

nhl 2k10 vibes

Still agreat track, and this bit hits me in the face.
I'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home
Yeah I'll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone

Who's listening to this banger in January 2020?

@Generic And Unfunny Your comment is just as untrue as it is unfunny.

@Dr. Skillz ok

I"m late. 2021, now :_

Just not jan yet

You aren't lmao

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
🖤

Seems like some people get really depressed listening to this. Others feel like they want to live their best life!

Guess it's a masterpiece. I love the lyrics and especially the line about choking on their vomit.

Yeah me too! And that will be the end

"Dame las drogas lisa"

First time iv heard this. Love it

Glad you found it. My brother gave me it on a mix cd he did for me, bless him.
