Mgmt - Time To Pretend lyrics
I'm feeling rough, I'm feeling raw, I'm in the prime of my life.
Let's make some music, make some money, find some models for wives.
I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin, and fuck with the stars.
You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars.
This is our decision, to live fast and die young.
We've got the vision, now let's have some fun.
Yeah, it's overwhelming, but what else can we do.
Get jobs in offices, and wake up for the morning commute.
Forget about our mothers and our friends
We're fated to pretend
To pretend
We're fated to pretend
To pretend
I'll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms
I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world
I'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home
Yeah, I'll miss the boredem and the freedom and the time spent alone.
There's really nothing, nothing we can do
Love must be forgotten, life can always start up anew.
The models will have children, we'll get a divorce
We'll find some more models, everyting must run it's course.
We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end
We were fated to pretend
To pretend
We're fated to pretend
To pretend
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

GUYS. THIS SONG IS ABOUT HOW NOTHING IN THIS WORLD LASTS.
Not people, but obviously they've always died. Not fun. Not things we buy or marriages. But the problem is that we have to pretend like, "oh that's normal, that they divorced, or it's natural that i should spend 8-10 hours a day sitting in my office without any feeling of what I've achieved."
Life changes so fast, nothing in it lasts, and the song is of the anger that everything's temporary, we can't hold on to any feeling (even from drugs), and we're SUPPOSED TO PRETEND THAT THAT'S NORMAL AND should be that way.

This song is obviously about fear of the dark. The lines, "digging up worms,'' refers to a transformation of the soul, and the journey one takes from a demonic place to its a personal nirvana.

you are all so silly, rchaseio thanks for giving some sense to the song because you are the only one who has reading comprehension. i think this song is about drugs and and the path that they lead to. Some say it is the wrong path but in a fake deceitful world who can really say what is right or wrong, what does a full time job really lead to? Sure you lose plenty from drugs, you house, your family, your parents, they change who you are but so does everything else. "This is our decision, to live fast and die young. We've got the vision, now let's have some fun." refers to how they know their life will end because to them they will get the most fulfillment out of a life of fun then a life of work. Everyone dies so who can say they are wrong?
