Buckerss Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I kept thinking it was troll whenever Matt said "you're not a drone" during Revolt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AguanteRiver Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I kept thinking it was troll whenever Matt said "you're not a drone" during Revolt. THIS! I still hear "You're not a troll" in that song even though I know better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt's Jawbone Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 "You, were like a pretzel" - the first line in the Handler I have to listen again I have honestly no idea what he says half of the song. Matt pretty much has his own language Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, but... That's quite strange. I find The Handler, if possible, one of the most comprehensible songs on the album due the slower rhythm of Matt's singing. Excluding its second half, where his voice quite drowns in the cosmical effected atmosphere of the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoyonco10 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I remember watching the Panic Station bootleg from E werk the first time they played it and hearing "unleash your heart and soul" and thinking Matt said something about a Funky soul brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohemian-Cygnus-Running-Out Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Oh my goodness, I just remembered I thought for the longest time until I actually read the lyrics sheet that the backup vocals in Revolt were "YOU CAN CRAWL!" rather than "YOU CAN GROW!" XD I think I like "crawl" better, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simplytom Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Drones as an album was actually comprehensible. Panic Station still takes the biscuit with "grab a pack of Mistrels", rather than "get up and commit" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aeterna Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I used to think "H8" was some sort of drug, but now I realise that he's saying "Hate" and it fits in context. At least, I think that's what it means. 'Hate' makes more sense than a drug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least, I think that's what it means. 'Hate' makes more sense than a drug. Apparently not. "Using a microcomputer (Hitachi H8 / 3048F) which can be built into the industrial machines, you can learn and understand the inputs /outputs of the microcomputer as a basis of robot control and conduct the experiments by C-language for steppingmotor control, servomotor control (PWM control) and serial communication. H8 model, a 16-bit microcomputer consists of 32-bit registers, has a flash ROM of 128KB, a RAM of 4KB (SRAM) with external extension of 128KB and 78 I/O terminals with the built-in A/D and D/Aconverters. H8 is a microcomputer usually built into a TV, VTR, mobile-phone and car navigator. Since it has ample I/O terminals, H8 microcomputer is also used as a brain of a small robot."

What your saying is we're instilling robots with H8 (hate)? No wonder Matt's paranoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 What your saying is we're instilling robots with H8 (hate)? No wonder Matt's paranoid. I think it's exactly the opposite... Anyways, it's not meant to be "hate" in any form. He clearly says "H eight" and the description provided was substantiated by Bellamy back in the day. So, it's likely about having to quash your emotions and make your brain more machine-like in order to deal with something overwhelming (either the scientific definition of space dementia or a relationship, whichever.) I don't get how The Globalist is a CE sequel, but there's quite a lot of other stuff on OoS that had similar themes to Drones. Even the song Drones itself. Interesting how long some of that stuck in his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
