OK Go - Hello, My Treacherous Friends Lyrics






Sitting for lunch in a square in this town
(this town that I'm new to),
new fellow from my new town sat me down
and explained it to me:
how when I spin from him I spin from myself,
the center can double the speed of the crust.
Thank you, my treacherous friends.
I'm cringing for myself when I cringe for you.

Hello, my treacherous friends,
and thank you for joining me here tonight.
I brought you all here to discuss, as I must,
how grateful I am for your insights.

With regard to my newborn arachnid kids,
there's something we must discuss:
perhaps we should sit them down and explain
how not to be saved.
Perhaps you could help me to demonstrate
how your center can keep up its sickening spin.
Thank you, my treacherous friends.
Perhaps for my children your surface will smile.

Hello, my treacherous friends,
and thank you for joining me here tonight.
I brought you all here to discuss, as I must,
the fate of my children, the spiders.

Hello, my treacherous friends,
and thank you for joining me here tonight.
I brought you all here to discuss, as I must,
how pleasant has been this demise

    just killed a poisonous spider while playing this song, i found it half way through the song

  20. J.... ....

    This album is brilliant from start to finish.

  21. B.... B....

    Kinds reminds me of Komaeda from Dangan Ronpa....

  22. H.... ....

    really they're putting it in the movie? i thought she just had it on her playlist for the book...?

  23. S.... ....

    You know what this means? Up to this date, we are all hipsters.

  24. M.... A....

    This song is way too short. I found myself listening to it over and over again, so addictive.

  25. L.... w....

    this song is pretty catchy i love it

  26. P.... ....

    I can't help but think of this song any time I sit down to play "Magic the Gathering". I play with my "friends" and we are all trying to "kill" each other. I know that's not what this song is about but that's what I think of. I came here looking to see if anyone knew what this song was about and I see I'm not the only one who is in the dark about it's "true" meaning.

    A cold comfort but there it is .-love this song.

  27. T.... H....

    Reminds me of susan's house by the eels

  28. I.... ....

    This is going to be in a Mortal Instruments movie! :D Love it

  29. k.... ....

    I believe it's about getting spun out.

  30. t.... ....

    Somehow all the songs I've heard from their debut album are completely different that from "Oh No" and "Of The Blue Color Of The Sky."

  31. p.... ....

    omg
    how
    cool
    is
    this,

    never heard this song before from okgo

  32. y.... ....

    Nightmares have started in my head with this song on more than one occasion.

  33. p.... ....

    I think it's about how he knew these people and got slowly sucked into their web of deception and lies. The whole thing seems almost sarcastic to me, 'how pleasant has been this demise', and 'perhaps we should sit them down and explain how not to be saved', as though he knows what happened to him and resents it.

  34. D.... M....

    I love this song, it keeps getting stuck in my head randomly.

  35. M.... ....

    when i first heard this song i laughed so hard i started to cry. it sounded sickening (my laughter, that is) :D

  36. N.... ....

    @audiophil92 or maybe....yeah that's a good story 'cuz i can't think of a better one, or weirder, for that matter.

  37. L.... R....

    @MeLiNaKi92 Same. :D ♥

  38. q.... ....

    personally, the "story" i allways think of when i hear it is: he is at a podeum many years after he knew them they are politisians and leaders, its a party and he goes up to give a speech. all of them are sly and will do anything for an advantage, he's experianced each one of their deceptions, but still loves them all in a weird way, he knows he's no better than them and can laugh at how horrid they all are. they ahve helped him, and hindered him at certain times.

  39. U.... ....

    I thought Volvo's were safe? :P LOL

  40. V.... ....

    you know, when i hear this i always think it has some sort of conspiracy theorist theme behind it, where he rounds up everyone involved in the conspiracy, calling them treacherous, as he knows they are terrible people, but that wont stop them. Everyone around him is slowly being brainwashed to his ideas as he speaks. But the lyrics dont really support this, do they?

  41. C.... ....

    This is actually more like their album "of the blue color of the sky"
    You can call it more melancholic... but still fckng awesome

  42. C.... ....

    Alot different than their other songs i know but i still love it! this song ALWAYS gets stuck in me head though!!

  43. J.... T....

    dominic fear sent me

  44. A.... B....

    Truth is XD I h8 mondays tuesdays are a YESS!!! Wednesday Thursday Fridays are WTF put together Saturday Nights are Grreat but Sunday Mornings Are always Beautiful to me XD ♥

  45. M.... A....

    @MarticusProductions It totally reminds me of HiNaBN! <3

  46. T.... ....

    I love this song. I just listened to it because of a playlist that my favorite writer wrote, and it's now a part of my usual day. I listen to it at least once a day. I love it.

  47. z.... ....

    i love this song

  48. S.... B....

    I'm cringing for myself.. I'm cringing for you!

  49. l.... ....

    OK Go is the best band ever!

  50. M.... ....

    @Zsiefring Hahaha. Nice.

  51. g.... ....

    @SteelflexFilms 100% right

  52. J.... F....

    Reminds me of Beck, :)

  53. l.... ....

    @DubbleBubble303 it has to do with the lead singer Damian's girlfriend, I believe.

  54. w.... ....

    @DubbleBubble303
    I actually don't really know... Kinda sounds like a super-villain sitting down in a rural town hall after his new arrival, and speaking to the townsfolk about the several different... Things... He dragged into it.

  55. r.... ....

    even after two years, I still randomly get the urge to listen to this song.

  56. J.... K....

    hell yeah

  57. H.... C....

    Strange song, but beautiful in its way. It gives me chills...

  58. d.... ....

    @YzzamDruid- And I might like you if you like both this song and JoCo.
    You have fantabulous taste in music, good sir/madam.

  59. M.... J....

    Win! I like it. XD

  60. a.... ....

    hey I got an idea! Maybe its a sort of macabre dark story behind the lyrics. Likes he invites this group of backstabbing, hypocritical friends who werent there in his moment of need, and then begins speaking to them, and as we hear the words "fate of my children" he unleashes his spiders upon them! :D

  61. M.... J....

    I would adore having a music box that sounded like the openeing of this song. It would be amazing!

  62. t.... ....

    what is this song even about?

    like spider kids?!

  63. A.... S....

    Gotta love those spider kids.

  64. l.... ....

    It's good to know what people like if you're interested in people, or in writing songs.
