WHY? - The Vowels Pt. 2 Lyrics






I'm not a ladies' man, I'm a land mine
Filming my own fake death
Under an '88 Cavalier, I go
But-but-but-but, nothing but the rear bumper's blown
But I was born for this flight
United 955 on the Fifth of July
Back to SFO, I-I
I join the dark si-ide
In a thin disgui-ise
On consumer grade video at niggaight

Faking suicide for applause
In the food courts of malls
And cursing racing horses on church steps
Playing The Wall at singles bingo
All-time gringo
Did anyone hear me cry there?
Through a toilet-stall divider
I swear, I care, not

Am I an example of a calculated birth
To a star chart for clowns? I'm not
Under Robin's eggs in a nest
You hid a manila envelope
With one last little Robin's egg in it
A hollow bullet yet spent
Subject to dismissal
I wish all my pitfalls
Could be caught by this call -

Cheeri-A
Cheeri-E
Cheeri-I
Cheeri-O
Cheeri-U

    Lyrics are wrong.

    m.... m....

    I have been suffering frontal hair loss for two years, I bought  arganlife products. Although it’s not intended for frontal baldness. However, since I started using it, my hair loss got reduced like 80%, so this product is helping me to keep my hair where it belongs a bit longer. 

    m.... m....

    ????????

  25. a.... e....

    I'm boutta see why live whats the best drug of choice 

    a.... e....

    ayahuasca or "candy flip" ,acid and mdma together.

    a.... e....

    +Roberto Rumbolo aya isnt any sort of recreational drug and if you had half a brain you wouldnt be recommending it to people on YouTube comments

    a.... e....

    Suck it dry loser... live a little.

    a.... e....

    It looks like Roberto has found his bliss.

    a.... e....

    Doctor Robert
    You're a new and better man
    He helps you to understand
    He does everything he can
    Doctor Robert

  26. P.... G....

    These lyrics are wrong

  27. d.... ....

    where can I get this image in HQ?

  28. e.... ....

    just listen to Yoni's podcast or better yet tweet him man, he usually responds

  29. r.... ....

    I remember listening to these guys on acid when i was just children...good times

    r.... ....

    Humans dont exist -time-space is a momentarily illusion- only one exists-I AM.

    r.... ....

    TheMetamorphesis lol

    r.... ....

    I share your sentiment

    r.... ....

    Hahaha same

    r.... ....

    Looks like that shit fried your grammar LOL

  30. S.... ....

    I don't think we're supposed to dnatsrednu.

  31. P.... U....

    Every word Sam

  32. A.... D....

    Anyone else think of Harold & Maude a little bit with this song? In reference to "faking suicide".. Maybe that's only me though!

  33. S.... E....

    Does anyone understand these lyrics?   

    S.... E....

    there all very personal. i cant find either sources for an example at the moment but in an interview he mentions how his therapist ended up giving him his money back for the sessions that had together because they got intimate lol and in another one of his songs he mentions a therapist or her name or something like that. 

    S.... E....

    but at the same time the fall of mr fiths is totally fictional and its about serial killer who takes women into the middle of a lake and kills them. 

    S.... E....

    I think the lyrics on this whole album are genius.

    S.... E....

    what the lyric say? brasilian girl here

  34. m.... j....

    Love it

  35. S.... ....

    Wow ,U got those lyrics allmost right . Didntcha?

  36. M.... ....

    I hope it's not tattooed IN her, either.

  37. W.... S....

    Why is kinda in his own dimension. Anticon records as a whole if you know the history. Some similar artists are islands, dosh(anticon), coco rosie.

  38. e.... ....

    Would you kindly make this available for mobile?

  39. A.... F....

    Just check out her Pic, she's doing a duck face. It probably has the " ' " in it.

  40. S.... ....

    Tatted IN you? Like a kidney tattoo? I've heard of those

  41. R.... V....

    and I hope it isnt actually tatted in you

  42. J.... C....

    does anyone have any band/song recommendation in this same style (like a indie folk rap)?

  43. W.... G....

    If that looks sarcastic, which it may, (tone is so fucking hard) it really isn't.

  44. W.... G....

    That is fucking brilliant. Well done! I am laughing as I write this.

  45. a.... s....

    i joined the dark side

  46. K.... O....

    You don't say.

  47. m.... ....

    I hope your tat doesn't have an apostrophe between your and s

  48. A.... B....

    great^)

  49. J.... ....

    Does anybody know where I can get this picture?

  50. s.... s....

    u Suck
    Vowel's suck

  51. n.... ....

    nico frank brought me here~!

  52. I.... R....

    isn't after 1:49 more pop, since he's repeating the same lyrics and it's a catchy hook?

  53. J.... G....

    Same thing here.

  54. o.... ....

    god forbid i dont love every single thing why does right?

  55. S.... ....

    shame the half million hitters dont hit clouddead as often.

  56. S.... ....

    stick to pop then

  57. P.... M....

    Nico frank music hahahah

  58. D.... ....

    Thumbs Up If Your High As Fk Watching This xD

  59. C.... K....

    On consumer grade video at night..

  60. o.... ....

    Love love love the first 1:49 of this song. after that...eh :/

  61. W.... ....

    He's saying "cheery" as in a play on the British expression "Cheery-O". You could look at it as a joke such as "If O's are cheery are the other vowels cheery as well?".

    It also becomes a sentence of sorts after "E"; Cheery-I (as in "I'm happy") Cheery-O (as in "Goodbye") Cheery-U (as in "You're happy"). So you could look at it as a breakup or a departure where two people are glad to be rid of each other.

    That's my take on it.

  62. Y.... ....

    At the end, why is he listing vowels with cherry before it? lol

  63. M.... W....

    this is fantastic

  64. j.... ....

    ...this song is so addicting!

  65. d.... l....

    Wonder what the dudes from animal collective think of this, or even why? in general.. yoniz voice reminds me of a more "hipstah-hoppy" avey. homeboy got that swagger. shit is mint none-the-less.

  66. N.... ....

    Lol not even from this song

  67. E.... ....

    Acid music. Perfect acid music at that. The band as a whole, not just this song.

  68. S.... ....

    As in Why!

  69. A.... ....

    29 people have bad taste in music and no nothing of talent.

  70. i.... ....

    cheerrryyaaaaa cherrrrrryeeee cheerrryyyyiiiii cherrrrryyyyyooooo cherrrrrryouuuuuuuuu

  71. T.... F....

    27 people need subwoofers.

  72. M.... O....

    you guys are not for the musically challenged for sure. Stoked about the new album. Reviewed at indie-licks music review blog!

  73. A.... ....

    u can use "youtube converter to mp3" its so easy to use

  74. s.... f....

    who else just clicked this video for a fingerboard video?

  75. P.... R....

    I am a random result of a calculated world

  76. N.... ....

    I think you mean cheery-why?

  77. R.... ....

    open to tabs and play them at them same time...but a lil off. so dope

  78. R.... ....

    no..cheery "why?"

  79. B.... N....

    I get high to this track.

  80. E.... M....

    I love this song even though it's a liiiittle depressing ;)

  81. V.... ....

    Where is this art?

  82. d.... r....

    The volume fluctuates on the HQ version.

  83. D.... D....

    is it me or does the volume fluctuate

  84. L.... O....

    If you enjoy this why not check out my channel
    Indie/folk/hip hop from the UK

  85. x.... ....

    @TheBrittanyolmstead That's sick!

  86. S.... ....

    i think its cool they come to berlin from time to time, but i dislike the hipsters at their concerts, saw them 3 times now, and it gets better every time.

  87. T.... ....

    "Your's is a funeral I'd fly to from anywhere." I have it tatted in me;

  88. r.... ....

    I'd do just about anything to see these guys live. Too bad I live in a shitty small minded stink hole.

  89. s.... ....

    this song feels way shorter than 4 minutes

  90. E.... G....

    @mlottes11 Alright. I like to consider myself pretty open-minded and willing to admit when I'm wrong, so I went back at listened ( 0:51 ) like a dozen times.

    I have to stand by my first impression, though. It's "at night," he's singing it with some emphasis, so it sounds like "consumer-grade video at ni-high-height." There are no "the's" or any of it many variants to be heard. "At night" makes more sense in the context of "filming" established at the beginning of the verse.

  91. m.... ....

    @otakuribo nope it's definitely height.

  92. E.... G....

    Last line of the first stanza is "consumer-grade video at night." You got the rest right, though. :)

    Cheery-a, cherry-e, cheery-i..., I'll have a Cherry-Coke.

  93. N.... S....

    @derncatz good on you son
