MGMT - Your Life Is a Lie download song

I think this song is about a perceived reality that our civilization has fallen prey to. We are conditioned to get a job, to earn money, to survive. We focus too much on material existance and we are blinded from the reality that is in front of us. We as a civilization work far more than is necessary. We should have a more realistic reality, which does not include constructed paradigms designed to keep us from achieving our higher potential.

"As soon as you're born they make you feel small By giving you no time instead of it all"

Here's the deal Open your eyes Your life is a lie Don't say a word I'll tell you why You're living a lie Your life is a lie But you deny, you ever lied Wondering why Bury your life Count your friends On your hands Now look again They're not your friends Hold your breath Everyone left No surprise Living a lie Tell your wife This is your life Your life is a lie This is your wife Now she knows, she understands Her life is a lie Nobody wins Try not to cry You'll survive On your own Lessons in life Your life is a lie Now there's no time Wondering why Where in the world Is that girl? He knows she's…

I've been suspicious about my life since my cat started eating bread and potato. With this song now i'm sure.

I think a lot of people don't understand what this song is about. It starts of really shocking and if you don't listen you'll get a depression message from it, ''your life is a lie'', But i believe this song is actually quite positive, it tells the listener that their life is a lie and that your friend's are not your real friends, but it also says that you will survive, and that you don't have to depend on others to make you happy. I agree with this song a lot, people depend too much on others to understand them but sometimes people just can't, but you shouldn't let that get you down, You CAN survive on your own and if you break free from the lie that you need your ''friends''. For anyone who's feeling depressed out there: I'm sorry that circumstances have been so poor for you that you to feel so worthless, But things get better eventually, some people need help and if you are in need of help please seek out a therapist or a close friend, But don't depend only on them, try to make yourself happy by doing what you love and don't care what others may think. I hope everyone reading this are doing good, and if you're not then i hope you'll feel good soon. People out there love you, no matter who you are

This song makes me happy. Which is weird. My life is a lie. Time to laugh.

this is the most gifable video ever

nonexistence is the ultimate peace.

Very encouraging tune for people contemplating suicide.

I quit my job nearly 2 years ago (partially) because of this song. I am not rich or successful, but  My life is (mostly) not a lie now and I am pretty happy.

I bumped into Andrew Vanwyngarden in Birmingham a few years ago on the way to their concert - Andrew is like the nicest guy ever, we walked him to a noodle shop cause he didn't know the way!  Also while the warm-up band were playing he came into the crowd with a fake twirly moustache and sunglasses and nobody recognised him, and he jjust stood there twiddling it like a villain :D

Why is it that i don't enjoy an mgmt song the first time, but i absolutely love it the second?

That moment when you realize that him kicking the can was a symbol of death He was "Kicking the Bucket"

I just wanted to say, that I totally don't get this, but I totally get this.

This is fucking amazing. "Lessons in Life by Daryl Oates" hahaha MGMT are one of the few bands that do hippy/hipster music and videos that are perfectly artistic and imaginative. They don't feel like just a melange vintage references. They're actually clever and thoughtful and come together as a whole piece of art. They evidently collaborate with some amazing people.

I think this video and song capture pretty well that feeling you have when you realize you're existing in this universe that popped out of nowhere and we are all making up explanations of why but nobody really knows how we got here, and soon we'll be dust and will stop existing and stuff... this song reminds me of that

Needs more cowbell...

"Count your friends" "Now look again, they're not your friends" DAMN

Your wife is a guy.

I never wanted him to stop kicking that can.
