Posted by LetsLoop on October 17, 2017, 12:17 pmIt's been 4 years since the psych-pop duo @MGMT released their last album, 2013's MGMT, but the boys are back with a new song called Little Dark Age that will feature on their upcoming 4th album of the same name.
Little Dark Age was produced alongside former @Chairlift member Patrick Wimberly and Dave Fridmann, who also produced the band's breathtaking debut album Oracular Spectacular, and is accompanied by a video directed by David MacNutt and Nathaniel Axel.
[Verse 1]
Breathing in the dark
Lying on its side
The ruins of the day
Painted with a scar
And the more I straighten out
The less it wants to try
The feelings start to rot
One wink at a time
[Chorus 1]
Oh
Forgiving who you are
For what you stand to gain
Just know that if you hide
It doesn't go away
When you get out of bed
Don't end up stranded
Horrified with each stone
On the stage
My little dark age
[Verse 2]
Picking through the cards
Knowing what's nearby
The carvings on the face
Say they find it hard
And the engine's failed again
All limits of disguise
The humor's not the same
Coming from denial
[Chorus 2]
Oh
I grieve in stereo
The stereo sounds strange
I know that if you hide
It doesn't go away
If you get out of bed
And find me standing all alone
Open-eyed
Burn the page
My little dark age
[Chorus 3]
I grieve in stereo
The stereo sounds strange
You know that if it hides
It doesn't go away
If I get out of bed
You'll see me standing all alone
Horrified
On the stage
My little dark age
[Bridge]
Giddy with delight
Seeing what's to come
The image of the dead
Dead ends in my mind
[Chorus 4]
Policemen swear to god
Love's seeping from the guns
I know my friends and I
Would probably turn and run
If you get out of bed
Come find us heading for the bridge
Bring a stone
All the rage
My little dark age
[Chorus 3]
I grieve in stereo
The stereo sounds strange
I know that if you hide
It doesn't go away
If you get out of bed
And find me standing all alone
Open-eyed
Burn the page
My little dark age
[Outro]
All alone
Open-eyed
Burn the page
My little dark age
