    LYRICS:
    Bubblegum dog
    Tell me what the truth is
    Isn’t this bed a log?
    Doesn’t that confuse things?
    Shouldn’t I run?
    Isn’t that the white man?
    None of this seems like fun
    But maybe that’s the point man?
    For years I’ve strung you along
    Afraid of the Bubblegum dog
    And it’s finally catching up with me
    I hope it’s a false alarm
    ‘Cause the pain of the bubblegum dog
    It’s finally catching up with me
    Who’da believe I saw
    Tenement homes
    Built upon a fault line
    Juvenile quetzal birds
    Living in the coal mine
    Manicured lawns
    Tibetan straw men
    Igneous basketballs
    Drifting through the heavens
    I hate this earthly world
    But hate is a very strong word
    And it’s finally catching up with me
    The years of plodding on
    In fear of the Bubblegum dog
    It’s finally catching up with me
    So I’ll pray it won’t be long
    I’ll wake up and it’s all gone
    You and me
    We’ll keep it calm
    My Bubblegum dog
    Solo
    The shame of vitriol
    Aimed at the Bubblegum dog
    It’s finally catching up with me
    I hate this bubblegum world
    But hate is a very strong word
    And it’s finally catching up with me
    So we’ll hide until it’s gone
    Boil the ones that don’t belong
    Pay the man to keep it on
    Days are short and nights are long
    Bang our heads against the gong
    Maybe tinkle on the lawn
    One for all and all for one
    My Bubblegum dog

    This is really beautiful.
    Drum sound reminds me of an orphan of fortune. Andrew exercising his Southern twang sounds great, has grunge Kurt Cobain vibes "I felt hate toward the earthly world, but hate is a very strong word and it's finally catching up with me". Classic MGMT sound through Ben's playing throughout.
    You guys have done another amazing job with this one and I love how you have helped us to savour it, you've clearly put a lot of work into this album.

    This song is my life, everything about it sums up what I'm going through right now. Avoiding reality, plodding along, hoping I'll wake up, not being able to escape, yet still wanting to run and hide. They like a lot of other bands I've listened to to have always managed to somehow synchronize with what is currently going on in my life.

    Lyrics:
    [Verse 1]
    Bubblegum dog
    Tell me what the truth is
    Isn't this bed a log?
    Doesn't that confuse things?
    Shouldn't I run?
    Isn't that the white man?
    None of this seems like fun
    But maybe that's the point man?
    [Chorus]
    For years I've strung you along
    Afraid of the bubblegum dog
    And it's finally catching up with me
    I hope it's a false alarm
    'Cause the pain of the bubblegum dog
    It's finally catching up with me
    Who would have believe I saw?
    [Verse 2]
    Tenement homes
    Built upon a fault line
    Juvenile quetzal birds
    Living in the coal mine
    Manicured lawns
    Tibetan straw men
    Igneous basketballs
    Drifting through the heavens
    You might also like
    I Wish I Was Joking
    MGMT
    Mother Nature
    MGMT
    Loss of Life, Pt. 2
    MGMT
    [Chorus]
    I hate this earthly world
    But hate is a very strong word
    And it's finally catching up with me
    The years of plodding on
    In fear of the bubblegum dog
    It's finally catching up with me
    [Post-Chorus]
    So I'll pray it won't be long
    I'll wake up and it's all gone
    You and me
    We'll keep it calm
    My bubblegum dog
    [Instrumental Break]
    [Chorus]
    The shame of vitriol
    Aimed at the bubblegum dog
    It's finally catching up with me
    I hate this bubblegum world
    But hate is a very strong word
    And it's finally catching up with me
    [Outro]
    So we'll hide until it's gone
    Boil the ones that don't belong
    Pay the man to keep it on
    Days are short and nights are long
    Bang our heads against the gong
    Maybe tinkle on the lawn
    One for all and all for one
    My bubblegum dog

  • @futurereflections4097
    @futurereflections4097 5 месяцев назад +7

    The best part about this song is the genius lyrics. The bubblegum dog is clearly a symbol for the truth. Mgmt (characters at least) literally running from the truth after they asked the bubblegum dog to “tell (them) what the truth is.”
    And the once you get that everything falls into place. Fear and “hatred of the world” as you run from the truth. But you have to know the truth is there to feel that hatred or you are just aloof.
    People will be quick to think the lyrics are nonsense because of the title and the second verse, but they are very wrong. Even in the second verse, it may sound nonsensical, but the point is that the characters are trying to distract themselves as they are nervous
