if you look for more, "moderat" is a collaboration between "modeselektor" and "apparat". there you can find much more. they are both ridiculously good on their own.
Here it ends
No one's gonna shed a tear
No need to shout
Just to stand the silence
(A) well spent time
In the early morning's haze
You sit and wait
Watching full glasses through blank eyes
This is not
What you wanted
Not
What you had in mind
Vacuous winter stare
Worn out version of yourself
To tough to fall

Rather send this clip on a golden disc with the next Voyager spacecraft so the other civilisations out there can get a really clear picture what's going on in our little solar system ;-)
Here it ends
No one's gonna shed a tear
No need to shout
Just to stand the silence
(A) well spent time
In the early morning's haze
You sit and wait
Watching full glasses through blank eyes
This is not
What you wanted
Not
What you had in mind
Vacuous winter stare
Worn out version of yourself
To tough to fall
But not strong enough to turn
This is not
What you wanted
Not
What you had in mind
Heard this in a clothes store earlier today and couldn't Shazam it cause it was a bit too soft. Thank goodness I caught some of the lyrics + it was the first result from Google
If you are wondering if there is any explicit meaning to the animation, they (the animators) said this in an interview:
We wanted to draw an image of a man who wants to escape from the system of military and injustice he was born into. He turns towards literature, aesthetics and dandyism in the early ’60s and gets involved in the same mechanisms of cruelty he once wanted to escape from.
Starting with high ambitions and getting stuck in the power structure that is ruling most of [today’s] world is the main story behind it.
we're all living in a Bad Kingdom at the moment. where are the talking heads?? where are the ones standing up against the elite?? history has shown that power corrupts and we are living in a terrible time yet everyone appears to be happy moaning whilst doing absolutely nothing about their society?!? Bill Hicks is dead, George Carlin is dead...who do we have to question the norms?? No one?? The way the world is going is extremely worrying and I'd love to do something about it. How do you feel??
Here it ends
No one’s gonna shed a tear
No need to shout
Just to stand the silence
[Verse 2]
(A) well spent time
In the early morning’s haze
You sit and wait
Watching full glasses through blank eyes

This is not
What you wanted

What you wanted, oh
Not
What you had in mind
[Verse 3]
Vacuous winter stare
Worn out version of yourself
To tough to fall
But not strong enough to turn
But not strong enough to turn
But not strong enough to turn
[Hook]
