I absolutely agree but for some reason, I feel it was completely intentional. It happens a couple times in the song (and each imperfection has it's own character).
these guys have the formula right. I believe the correct way to write music is the way Glass Animals and Tool write. Complete the instrumentals, and write the lyrics and vocal melody to the already completed music. it produces the best results I've ever heard.
It's like they speak in lyrics. Someone like myself who references pop culture, movies, etc all the time. Maybe two sentences go by where it's not included, while contextually different from the lyrics of these artists, it's almost an expectation or lack of desiring you understand it... you just have to get it on your own terms. They as artists are both open to your interpretation but also dont want to have to explain the joke. I love tool, apc if not more, maybe even the deftones could be put on that same level with their lyrical principles. But idk... I feel maybe that's what you were getting at and I'm explaining it terrible in my own rationale... but yes... oh shit theres a "thumb up button".... should of just hit that...
I haven't listened to much Glass Animals music, But of what I have heard, This is the best. Why did "Heat Waves" get to become so popular when this one is so much better?
people have mentioned the popular fanfiction, but i think it's also that heat waves is more conventional in it sound, structure, and lyrics. it's more easily digestible for the masses. doesn't mean it's a bad song, i just can't imagine some of their other songs being played on the radio like heat waves
(Wrote a story based on this so heads up!) Black Mambo, the way I envision it, it's like a slow clawing feeling. It's as if one is in a smooth bed barely covered by blankets, surrounded by jungle life, but each animal is lazy, from the sloth to the leopards relaxing on plush pillows. It ignites primal urges, but they tell you to slow down, it's a science. It's a relaxation yet comfortable and loving feeling, like one would be cuddling with a lover. But it's not the kind of feeling to lull you to sleep, while they keep you awake by their nails gently raking against your arms or with a slight and soft nip upon your neck. Have you ever been scratched on the back of the neck and have your hair stand up on end because of goosebumps? Or an itch that's finally relieved? It's like that. A primal, innate, instinctual feeling that drives someone wild with excitement, yet simultaneously calm like some sort of paradox. The voice sounds like a whisper, but at the same time, a beastly growl. It's a hypnotising noise, one that pushes all the right primal buttons.
OMG I’ve fallen down the Glass Animals rabbit hole and I’m realizing just how awesome these guys are and how many of their songs I know and love without even realizing it was them!
tumi doan There's nothing wrong with that. It doesnt make a person fake. That one song might a person's favorite song that might help that person significantly hence why they might call themselves biggest fan out of appreciation. People shouldnt look at it as a competition though, who cares who is the biggest fan or if someone calls themselves that. Its not something to bother about or wish that a group doesnt hit it big time because other people will like them.
ah! sorry everyone! I really wasn't trying to be mean at all but i guess my comment just was eh, i shouldn't have said it! again, sorry if i crossed the line! :)
It’s such an amazing experience, synesthete or not. This sounds like circles, strings, spiders, pearls, purple, pride, fear, and a kaleidoscope of other colors.
It's full of esoteric meaning. "Take a back seat, or play pharaoah." Either run your life or let it be run. "Dance with me and shake your bones." Meet your fears, run straight for them, your subconscious has been waiting for you to shake the dust off, which comes from the emotional turmoil of living your life. Just like the song shake me down by cage the elephant. Same meaning somewhat. "Snake eye with a slight smile." Look up the "vesica pisces" symbol. You'll see the Snake eye he means in the center. This is sacred geometry, showing the relation of our conscious to subconscious, what some might call "the devil." Because it contains our hidden motives and desires if we don't care to look deep in ourselves. That's why he says "slow down, it's a science." Now when you do dig deep, you find a river of consciousness waiting to flow out. Like Taylor swift says "I'm lightning on my feet, and that's what they don't see." That's how we "play cheat" with life. Unlock the divine within.
This music, it has occult to it, it's sexy as fuck, you're one of my favorite music artist. Thanks for the vibe ups, this is good for energy accumulation.
I used to listen to The Other Side of Paradise on repeat for hours on end until I thought to search up the artist and now Glass Animals is in my top 3-5 favouite artists. The initially strange vibes really grows on ya.
This song makes me picture a dim, warmly lit room that has dark maroon walls, rose gold furniture with leopard print cushions, sheer drapery that's either red/forest green/teal and of course tons of lush tropical plants. Oh and snakes.
OMG... I've been looking for this song for 4 freaking years, my English wasn't that good back then, and i couldn't remember any of the lyrics. It's so relaxing to finally have found it
I love zaba so much, it feels like I can always close my eyes and retreat to a life filled jungle, and it makes lonely moments a little less lonely but simultaneously makes stressful moments more calm it’s honestly amazing
I had heard Holiest and Heatwaves (of course) by Glass Animals and I decided to pull them up one day and listened to the entirety of Zaba. It's so damned good, isn't it? The vibe of the entire record is just so smooth and sexy
I had it playing at a speed of 1.25 and switched it unintentionally back to normal when it said ‘slow down’ and let me tell you I was not disappointed.
My girlfriend showed me these dudes while we were on acid and I was instantly hooked. The album cover for how to be a human being looked hieroglyphic in a way. Absolutely beautiful moment and a very wonderful group.
It's crazy, the whole song gives you this lavish vibe that makes you wanna spend all the time in a lazy haze, but then the bass is like that voice in the back of your mind that's like: "Hold on there's something fucked up going on here"
This is probably going to be a long comment but I've had this concept has been in my head for weeks: There are two layers to hell. The top is a dark, humid forest where snakes and animals roam free, this is for the people who were too impure for anywhere else. They lounge around and drink, they party and they lazily skinny dip in the many waterholes that litter the ground. There are people hanging from chains among the branches who perhaps are dead, or maybe they just like it there. It is humid, but life is grand. The second layer is for those who truly deserve to go to hell. It is a cold, dark cave that rests underground. It is deep and winding and deafeningly silent. The people there are hidden inside, laying in holes that are too deep to crawl out of or in cages of stalagmites. There is no escape from the Devil's punishments, she is a cruel woman with no remorse. She enjoys hearing them suffer, but chooses punishments quickly as to get back to the girls who wish to be with her. The people there bleed gold, it pools on the ground and serves as the liquid in which the people up top bathe. Perhaps they don't know it is the blood of the punished, perhaps they don't care. Edit: The reason the Devil is a girl is simple: I am a dumb lesbian and lady with sharp teeth hot
Johnwayne Wireman - wow very thoughtful comment, you should instead go and try to produce something, maybe an idea with your mind that keeps a random person on the internet engaged for a brief minute and even sparks new ideas like this dude. But no you instead make a super generic overused "JOKE" because you just cannot comprehend what you just read. It was actually properly, even well written, interesting, detailed and new. And you? what did you achieve here? Give me a break
I feel like The Neighbourhood is more leather jackets, greaser haircuts, sad boys, quiet voice, and a gentle hand. For the Glass Animals, I feel like they're more psychedelic. Like a certain kind of chill feeling you get when you just woke up from a long nap, but in a good way. I agree that the Glass Animals are more colorful, they're like a kaleidoscope where the lyrics are cryptic and vague that everyone will find a different meaning. I love both bands, they're both amazing in their own ways
It's frustrating how the word appears a fraction of a second after it's sung, so I can't sing along because I don't know what they're gonna say until it's too late ugggh. Loveeeee the song though.
+Lukas Grigaravičius Look here dude you can't go around calling someone this shit. I know freedom of speech etc. It's racist and rude.

I was tripping balls in a cuddle puddle with my best friends and this song came on and I just started bawling for everything I’ve ever been sad and happy for at the same time. And then Gooey came on and made sweet love to all of us in a hot tub in the jungle. 10/10 would do again.
I'm probably overthinking this BUT to me, song to me is like a warning not to get too attached to pleasure or it will take you away from the goodness of your life. It makes you feel like you've done something terribly wrong but you're in too deep to care. Like when you start falling asleep due to carbon monoxide poisoning. It makes sense when you really listen to the beat; it's overbearing, a little unsettling, but his voice lulls you to comfort. Kinda chilling, ya know? EDIT: I also interpret this as a battle between good and evil; with this song being evil (Satan) and Gooey (represents God, also by Glass Animals) and it's a "Which wolf will you feed?" kinda scenario. I'm definitely overthinking this.
I swear every time I hear one of their songs I can feel the music around me. Light piano to the far left. Strong piano to the far right. Drums a little to the left and the vocalist right behind me.
Getting the ad for Glass Animals, while listening to Glass Animals put me in a situation where I couldn't decide which song to listen to first... I just love them all. 😅😅
I've been listening to a Glass animals for an hour now and got an ad for Heatwaves and didn't notice it was an ad until I checked the tab and it was marked as playing Black Mambo...
Nothing will beat their first album. Psychedelic-pop through and through. They've since changed their sound with every album, which is nice but my heart (and ears) lies with ZABA.
I'm imagining this song is about gambling addiction. There's a few subtle references, "Paperback dreams" = cards, "Snake-eyed" = dice. "Pump your veins with gushing gold" could be referencing the high you get from winning money. Etc.
This song is sinisterly beautiful.
totally agree. such a sexy song.

to me, song to me is like a warning not to get too attached to pleasure or it will take you away from the goodness of your life. It makes you feel like you've done something terribly wrong but you're in too deep to care. Like when you start falling asleep due to carbon monoxide poisoning. It makes sense when you really listen to the beat; it's overbearing, a little unsettling, but his voice lulls you to comfort. Kinda chilling, ya know?
EDIT: I also interpret this as a battle between good and evil; with this song being evil (Satan) and Gooey (represents God, also by Glass Animals) and it's a "Which wolf will you feed?" kinda scenario. I'm definitely overthinking this.
wow
good interpretation man
This is why I read comments
Gabriel Burfitt lol thank you dude
Beautiful, i have a feeling you might like the "Lord of the Rings" series.
i like your take on it. I thought it was talking about heroin
This is music that I would call perfect. I've been searching forever for this.
The fact they did NOT put more songs from the band to the radio itself is a crime.
Nothing beats listening to any Glass Animals song for the first time.
Listening to this song is an experience.
I swear every time I hear one of their songs I can feel the music around me. Light piano to the far left. Strong piano to the far right. Drums a little to the left and the vocalist right behind me.
I forgot about this song so good 😊
I love this song sm, it reminds me of a 2 faced person. backstabbing, with a sly smile, and snake eyes. a snake like person, its so good. i love it.
Getting the ad for Glass Animals, while listening to Glass Animals put me in a situation where I couldn't decide which song to listen to first... I just love them all. 😅😅
A Simple way of describing this song and many of its kind is its just; Mystical.
I chose ALLURING as my one word description.
@@jacobmaddy2884 yeah.
If you've ever listened to Cosmo Sheldrake, thst would be what I would call mystical
I love this song!
This song is about pleasure, black mambo is pleasure (drugs, sex and love)
I was wondering if there was a few drug references in this song. "Domino flush to his nose" "pump your veins with gushing gold"
Luis Ruiz Also makes references to Satan, "He's been waiting to bring you down. Snake eyes with a sly smile."
Guess it has a different meaning for everyone, but for me it’s about black tar heroin
And the devil tricking you into it all
Luis Ruiz mamba was a legal high wasn't it?
IVE BEEN LISTENING TO THESE DUDES SINCE THEY HIT LOOOOOVE ALL THEM
Humanity needs more of Glass Animal.
I've had this song in the back of my head for ages. Good to hear this banger again 👌
"climate change is a hoax"
Me: slow downnnn, it's a science
Funny...
How dare you? (c)

I WISH THE FUCKING HELL I COULD MEET THESE DUDES!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been listening to a Glass animals for an hour now and got an ad for Heatwaves and didn't notice it was an ad until I checked the tab and it was marked as playing Black Mambo...
2021
Just straight talent... Rare... Authentic... I'm in love and have been bout a year now... Daily I play their music... RELIGIOUSLY!!!
Welcome to the beauty of Glass Animals
Same here. Heard these guys on the radio like an hour ago. They have a unique sound. And a few very worthy songs
I like how this song makes everyone picture pretty similar things, it's definitely got some next level imagery
Nothing will beat their first album. Psychedelic-pop through and through.
They've since changed their sound with every album, which is nice but my heart (and ears) lies with ZABA.
I'm imagining this song is about gambling addiction. There's a few subtle references, "Paperback dreams" = cards, "Snake-eyed" = dice. "Pump your veins with gushing gold" could be referencing the high you get from winning money. Etc.
blacklist introduced me to glass animals... and cant get enough of these Hypnotic vibes!!!
Ohh my f***ing goodness you guys are incredible artist and producers...
... don't stop.
This is what sin sounds like. This should legit be the next Bond song.
I just heard this on Pandora and I'm so happy i did !! I love them already
Antwan Adams Saaaaame
Such a smooth sound, it's brilliant.
This sounds like being in the beach at night, alone, and entering the sea to take pictures of animals that are already extinct.
this is the imagery i feel the most
Black mambo feels like little ppl walking up and down my arms. Gives me the chills
Chills me out every time... even better on vinyl 👌
Imagine listening to every glass animal song while absolutely high as hell
This band sounds so good! I just enjoy them so much! Thank you
That music obviously something way to special which gets you high
JUST HEARD THIS IN ATYPICAL AND I SCREAMEDDDDD MY BOIS MADE IT TO A TV SHOW❤❤❤
Different surgeons keep playing this song while operating and it’s such a vibe. I should have known this song earlier. Really really love this song.❤
I need a shirt with this background pattern😍
The bass line melted me
I didn't know the bass dropped like that til I played it in my vehicle and holy hell was it amazing.
the art is just..mesmerising!
Atypical season two needs to come out already 😭 until then I’ll be replaying this beauty
