MGMT Kids Lyrics - WTF?!

[paddyhasneeds]

Very catchy song, but am I missing something with the lyrics?

You were a child
Crawling on your knees towards it
Makin' mama so proud
But your voice is too loud

We like to watch you laughing
Picking' insects off plants no time to think of consequences

Control yourself
Take only what you need from them
A family of trees wanting
To be haunted

Control yourself
Take only what you need from them
A family of trees wanting
To be haunted

The water is warm
But its sending me shivers
A baby is born
Crying out for attention
The memories fade
Like looking through a fog mirror
Decisions to decisions
Are made and not
But I thought this wouldn't hurt a lot
I guess not

Control yourself
Take only what you need from them
A family of trees wanting
To be haunted

Control yourself
Take only what you need from them
A family of trees wanting
To be haunted


Hmmm, curious - love the song though

[OllieWinchester]

Very few songs make sense, do love that tune though....

So are there any hidden meanings to those lyrics? Wouldn't want to find myself singing along with the roof down like I did Electric Six's "Gaybar" only for the penny to drop a little too late..

Bloody hell what bit of "I've got something to put in you, at the GAY BAR" did you not get!

Sorry a poor attempt at humour. Seriously though, what the hell are those lyrics about (MGMT not the Hamster video song) and what the hell were they on when they wrote it?

[TheCaseAce]

I think the chorus is actually

Enjoy yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanted
To be haunted


No idea what it means but these folks have had a good go at working it out.

Crying with laughter literally.
