[@telespally]

This song was so important to me up to 6 years ago. I don't think many people know that the term "Pseudologia Fantastica" refers to Pathological Lying in Psychology & Psychiatry. I discovered this song because I was looking for some music that could refer to what I was experiencing at the time, and this felt so welcoming. I remember I cried because I felt like this song hugged me. My ex-boyfriend suffered from this illness, and I only discovered it after he had already wrecked me. Not even he knew he had it, but he knew he was killing me with all his lies. It's been 7 years now, I'm grown and have a beautiful relationship with someone else, but this song.. I gotta thank Foster The People for keeping my pieces together with this. Thank you guys.

[@JohanJolos]

your terrible story has not only ruined this song for me but I think I'm a misogynist now? wtf

[@jaeandtheamericans5541]

Does this song make anyone else feel a kind of nostalgic that’s almost unexplainable? I listened to this song for the first time years and years ago, but every time I listen to it it brings a kind of magic that I don’t feel from any other song.

[@michaelg2502]

I overlooked it when it came out; it gives me a nostalgic feeling too. I think it's a combination of the chord progression in the verses sounding kinda fantastical, and the swirling synth arpeggios.

[@galaxywoofer]

I get that sorta feeling with some of the songs from Grizzly Bear in the early 2000's. It's most likely the fact that Adult Swim used their music in some bumps and I was very young waking up to that era of AS. I feel the same with this song, too. Been on and off with listening since like 2015, and it never gets old. :)

If you've ever tried to play drums to this, you understand that this is one of the hardest rythms to keep up with. Crash + Bass, Choke, Open Hihat, Strike Open Hihat, Close Hihat, Snare Hit.... in a matter of about 2 beats, and repeat that for pretty much the whole song. The first verse is Open Hihat, Strike Open Hihat + Bass Hit, Half Closed Hihat, Strike Half Closed Hihat, Close HIhat, Snare Strike... and repeat that for the whole first verse. Pontius has such goos skills to keep all of this up! I've pretty much mastered this song on drums though will all of that! Sometimes I get confused and end up just sitting there in a trans...

SuperiorRobyn Actually the big "light guy" is perceive to be the bad guy in this video, the creature was the actual hero.

[@SuperiorRobyn]

Sej Patel What? I do not understand.

[@SPDirector4111]

Well it starts off with everyone in the mining field with blind folds on, later we see that the crystals become a creature which is vibrant in colour. The creature then starts heading towards the city (which looks all industrialized and glossy with lights) when the creatures reach there, we see the giant white light guy heading towards there city, (we can say the light guys symbol's the government which is trying to cover the fake ideology of the good life the poor 3rd world workers are working (pseudologia fantasia). When the light guy gets there he disintegrates the creature, but even though the creature is gone the idea behind it will never diminish (The fact the people are getting manipulated to think diamonds on the ground hold more value then the people above it.)Thats why the beast is all colourful because it represents personal freedom and culture, and the white beaming light guy represents the glossy glittered delusional society we live in. Peace.

This for some reason has become my new favorite song. The music style of this piece hooked me right off the bat. Only til today did I start to read and comprehend the lyrics that it hit me deeper. The lyrics can relate to anything involving lying and deceit to ourselves and others. For me, I relate to my alcoholism and the lies I would continually tell myself as well as the lies that alcohol convinces me to believe. I am now a year and a half sober because I wasn't afraid to start over.

When I first listened to samples of each song from their albums, I bought Torches and only bought two songs from Supermodel: Coming of Age and Best Friend. Back then as a teen I couldn't appreciate the sheer genius and complexity and creativity some tracks on this album display; Torches is an amazing album that stands out on its own but this one feels a bit more matured in its sound, and I've matured to appreciate it much more. Truly mesmerizing art. Love this song, Ask Yourself and A Beginner's Guide to Destroying the Moon.

This video fits the whole album 'supermodel' theme very accurately. The mine (blue field) represents all sorts of media and producers which creates false image and exaggerated brands (purple gemstone), that everyone wants to buy or to look like (basically everyone wants to be supermodel in one or other way, because the society tells us so, like to use make up, to be fit and skinny, to wear original clothes, to listen to pop music, to look and think like everyone else). So blue gems (everyone of us, like shown in the end of the video) attracts itself to the false image, because it wants to be like it, and creates a fashion beast with its followers (us). Without the followers, the purple manufactured gem would be like any other natural blue gem (not a beast). So the fashion beast which brings tons of money to its producers, goes to the center of attention, where it is beaten by unaffected by the false imagery inhabitants (the ones with their own opinion). In the end the purple gem turns out to be just another blue gem, and it opens the eyes for everyone.

[@ayorulez12]

I honestly love this song and its meaning. I personally think its about people who say they'll stop something evil, or they try to stop something terrible but make it worse. People who just make all of these promises about saving us and the world by saying things and never following through on them, "Why’d you say, why’d you say That you’d come right back For my love, for my faith? All the promises you made never realized". Or when people attempt to stop something evil, but in no way will ever succed, "Strong and fearless and deprived just like your heroes Are you sharpening your sword? Well you'll bleed out anyway". Overall great song I love it so much. This album has such a deep meaning

[@misha6278]

+Ayo Oladeji this song is about people waking up to humanity's truth to live in love without dissonance; without allowing corporate greed to shape them into slaves of the rat race; working until retirement with hardly anything to live off on. Working a 9 to 5 job is unnatural for human beings. People are systematically being controlled and manipulated by people in power with more wealth than you can comprehend. The sooner more people WAKE UP and realize this, the sooner humanity will be living in freedom, light, and love. Ancient Egypt was similarly ruled this way.

All the promises you made never realized You've got to look around a certain field Come down to roast the flesh of some beginning You've got to get back up and face your demons Don't ever be afraid of starting over

This is my absolute favorite foster the people song

[@mmmc7315]

One hell of a Psychotropic wonderlust. I got to see them live and I saw them perform this song, it was amazing. Now that I've gone through their stuff, this is one of the most memorable song both because of their music, the sticky, pre-chorus, and the sharp chorus. Also this visuals and message. In my head, it is California, been here for a good year and yes sometimes I do feel like one of the blindfolded heads, working and working but not amounting to anything. The begining place maybe concerns with a different place, because both supernatural looking charactes come from different place. One comes in from a place with forest and river and crosses the similar field that we see the other one crossing. Possibly symbolic of good and bad. The place itself, as well as the intention of the people, bring out the 'feral animal' very self-centered 'strong and fearless and deprived, just like your heroes'. But when you go out of the city it opens a new perspective. There's a lot more I can't understand, but their is cultural reference too i believe.

The crystals are, of course, drug(crystal duh) and wealth and the birds are a form of defense that we put on to defend without letting other thought in.

So trippy...I love it

[@bernlin2000]

Best Foster song? I'd say HELL YEAH!

[@magicberu]

Idea #1: It's a criticism of the situation in some developing countries. People work hard for nothing and don't get any benefit of their work. They work as if they were blind about their situation. The crystal can be the wage. All of the money goes to the head of state/dictator (the beast). But, someone seems to show his opposition and decides to overthrow this dictator. He manages by killing the dictator and then, people realize that life is more than working for nothing and they can live freely. Idea #2: An inspiration from the book of Revelations in the Bible maybe? The beast (the Devil) managed to own the whole earth and its inhabitants who have no choice but working to live. Plus, the fruit of their labor is robbed by the beast. Then, I see that the people stand in awe of the beast who compel them to worship him. At the end, the white spirit could be Jesus who comes to destroy the beast and its subjects. By doing that, he restores hope to these hopeless people. I'd rather think it's more the idea #1. Anyway, this band is just awesome.

Holy shit youre good

[@rodrigoyalan]

WOOW! Thanks for your comment

[@gracegiordano4149]

I agree most with idea #1, mostly because Mark Foster was traveling all around the world and he probably encountered alot of poverty and working for nothing.

[@davidarrepia]

Probably your idea #1 is correct, because i think that those white minions represent the people (they are small, meaning that they are less powerful than the beast - the state/dictator) and the white monster may represent some kind of military force, since the monster is bigger (in Portugal it happened, 25th April 1974). That makes the workers realize that they work for nothing (as you said) and they open their eyes. =)
