Just on the down low, I'm feeling pretty low.
Some days I feel fine.
Others... I don't know.
I got a sensory road block.
I'm in a binary mind lock.
So I'm dancing in lockstep to music that I can't hear.
Failing farmer; toxic crop.
Two white hearts to shake shit up.
Pay someone to taste, to smell and punch through the dry wall inside my skull.
Interior people.
A lens flare in my subconscious.
The gap of death, I no longer fear.
The Interior People.
I keep thinking someone.
Is standing beside me.
But when I turn to grab 'em.
They jump back inside of me.
They tell me to do things.
And so does the radio.
And learn from the satellite.
That orbits my shadow.
Instigate the paradigm.
Play the game and drink the wine.
Communicate with the afterglow that radiates between the wall.
Failing farmer; toxic crop.
Two white hearts to shake shit up.
Pay someone to taste, to smell and punch through the dry wall inside my skull.
Interior people.
A lens flare in my subconscious.
The gap of death, I no longer fear.
The Interior People.

[@Cullinyan]

"First, the caterpillar digests itself, releasing enzymes to dissolve all of its tissues. If you were to cut open a cocoon or chrysalis at just the right time, caterpillar soup would ooze out. But the contents of the pupa are not entirely an amorphous mess. Certain highly organized groups of cells known as imaginal discs survive the digestive process. Before hatching, when a caterpillar is still developing inside its egg, it grows an imaginal disc for each of the adult body parts it will need as a mature butterfly or moth-discs for its eyes, for its wings, its legs and so on. In some species, these imaginal discs remain dormant throughout the caterpillar's life; in other species, the discs begin to take the shape of adult body parts even before the caterpillar forms a chrysalis or cocoon. Some caterpillars walk around with tiny rudimentary wings tucked inside their bodies, though you would never know it by looking at them." "Once a caterpillar has disintegrated all of its tissues except for the imaginal discs, those discs use the protein-rich soup all around them to fuel the rapid cell division required to form the wings, antennae, legs, eyes, genitals and all the other features of an adult butterfly or moth. The imaginal disc for a fruit fly's wing, for example, might begin with only 50 cells and increase to more than 50,000 cells by the end of metamorphosis. Depending on the species, certain caterpillar muscles and sections of the nervous system are largely preserved in the adult butterfly. One study even suggests that moths remember what they learned in later stages of their lives as caterpillars."

Are you implying that music is going to get better? 1000 years from now we probably won't exist and also the majority of combinations of notes will already be played out. You've only listened to about 100 years of recorded music buddy, and also lol.

@@kane00000 we can listen to the music that existed way before 100 years of recordings, because they were written on sheet music... Classical compositions. There is a clear progression of sound from even before the classical era, before even "modern" rhythm and time signatures existed. So yes, music is constantly evolving and getting better. Music is a lot more than just combinations of certain notes in a specific order. Music can be more than a sum of its parts

Bro i love king gizz as s whole and i have to disagree witchu here. After infest the rats nest we had few of those elements. And thats ok with me. Obvsly we've got those Wooo here n there, but i see the band trending towards a microtonal/prog/synthrock style. We can hear hints of nonagon within some recent tracks such as the Wolf of fate, kglw ii and butterfly 3000, the magnum opus when it comes to this record to me.

[@BingusFodder]

The animation in this is mindblowingly well done. It's like what you'd get if Moebius directed a cheap 90s anime. Cheap in all the right ways not compromising the story or even the art really, but cutting out a lot of work and time. This is one of the best examples I've seen at using cycles to make cheaper.(it could be just that the cycles are more easily noticable but I think it's quite a bit heavier on cycles than most American tv animation.) Like at the end when the plants dilate and uncurl slightly. The same animation used twice, it's beautiful. And moth woman's frontfacing walk cycle being used on both a wide and a tight shot. Such a gorgeous piece of animation.

[@JarnarS]

The visual language of this video is so beautiful. Symmetrical design perfectly connecting to the Butterfly theme of the album. This standout song off the album, now followed along with a brilliant video. I'd be hard pressed to imagine a more fitting music video. Brilliant work all around, the maker of this video needs all the additional credit ❤ ..and as always, King Gizzard never let you down!
