Panda Bear - Selfish Gene Lyrics

1 of ma fav

This song helped me through a very difficult time in my life. Im glad those days are behind me, but it wouldn't have been much harder without these lyrics and sounds to help guide me. Thanks Noah.

this is a great song but it’s also begging to be remixed into a house dance song it feels like it’s building up the whole song and there’s no release

Heard this at the white chapel gallery so I came to check it out 😂

He's so subtle with is lyricism. But I feel like I know exactly what he's referring to. He jabs at society and people with his lyrics so subtly but harshly at the same time.

this album is something else

Here's the lyrics for those that want to know what's going on
[Verse]
Just now I see it so clear
Total shift in the unconscious
When at the start it seems like fates
Have set it up like so much magic
Just a ruse to get you in there
Seems like a spell
And all they talk as if it's come to fill those spaces
Only you can fill those spaces
So when the party goes
It breaks a brittle back
They back, they back
And they keep on rubbing in
How a proper chest is clean
That ain't it
If it comes to fill those spaces
Only you can fill those spaces
So when the party goes
It breaks a brittle back
They back, they back
And they keep on rubbing in
How a proper chest is clean

[Refrain]
That ain't it
Touch a hand, that ain't it
With a wig on that ain't it
It's a promise from some lips
When you touch a hand, that ain't it
With a wig on, that ain't it
Making noise not making songs
When you touch a hand, that ain't it
With a wig on, that ain't it
It might seem they making songs
Now they really making noise
Total shift in the unconscious

[Verse][Refrain][Outro] x4
You'll trip up again
You'll trip up again
Go get up again

I know all about waiting.

3:51 just wow

Max K I wish he turned up the higher register vocals on this part so they stand out. He sings the higher register live and it sounds great but hard to hear on the track.
