MGMT - Everything's Happenin' So Fast Lyrics






Tinseltown is coming like a giant bleeding heart,
And I'm so mad, well these kids try to be funny man.
Well I don't think it's happened much,
So we must destroy your art,
And you'll be glad that you stopped sinning,
And stopped caring about trying to do
New things are a dream that every single person has,
And it's not real.
Well I know I'm not too well equipped,
But things go by so quickly I can scarcely stop to grasp
The things I'm feelin now, and I don't doubt
That everyone can feel it too.

Everything is happenin' so fast
(Everything is happenin' so fast)
Everything is happenin' so fast
(Everything is happenin' so fast)

Nature is to blame for the things we cannot tame
So, let's destroy it. Oh
I don't know about you,
but I feel like a barbarian man, stop me if you can.
When the poison drips,
To create the same type of graph,
Available at your fingertips,
When the poison drips.

Everything is happenin' so fast
(Everything is happenin' so fast)
Everything is happenin' so fast
(Everything is happenin' so fast)
Everything is happenin' so fast
(Everything is happenin' so fast)
Everything is happenin' so fast
(Everything is happenin' so fast)

  37. J.... M....

    i'm starting a electrical engineering master, i shall come back very quickly when i finish it

    J.... M....

    cause everthing's hapenning so fast!!!

    J.... M....

    @Jim Morrison HAng in there, I bet you learned a lot this year!

  38. S.... ....

    Is it just me or he sounds kinda like Robert Smith in this song?

    S.... ....

    And a little bit like Jack White

  39. L.... M....

    Feels good with a bit of existential dread

  40. J.... J....

    this will always be my favorite mgmt song

  41. p.... s....

    now every time I get I a certain high (THC) I feel the LSD kick in a little and I kinda like it but gettin high will never. Be the same 😂 this song is a booster 🔥🔥🔥

    p.... s....

    its such a booster brother hahahah

  42. S.... C....

    This song makes me think of the love of my life who I lost in December. Love so intense and passionate and it all happens so fast and just like that in a fucking glimpse he was gone.. :'( R.I.P baby.

  43. I.... z....

    No mames mi adolecencia ,:v

  44. F.... S....

    This music remember The Cure.

  45. A.... D....

    For some reason I think of sonic on sega genesis when here this

  46. C.... ....

    9 years old wow almost 10

  47. c.... 6....

    If I ever don't know what I want to listen to I go to this song.

  48. M.... 3....

    Love this band great channel I sub to you

  49. M.... ....

    this song helped me going through my depression 5 years ago, and it's helping me again today, for the same reason

    M.... ....

    Marco keep on going man you got this but with time things get easier trust me.

  50. n.... w....

    old school

  51. J.... C....

    Damn it. One more day: got to the office, fired up Windows, IDEs and tools, and then jumped straight to Youtube to listen to this sheeeeeet

    J.... C....

    Go get um barbarian man!

  52. B.... ....

    Chunk Of Change is all I can say

  53. S.... M....

    Things go by so quickly I can scarcely start to grasp the things I'm feeling now

  54. M.... S....

    your probably wondering why your here, and so am I, and so am I

  55. G.... R....

    love Andrews guitar solo. very residents

    G.... R....

    It's not his solo, it's James'.

    G.... R....

    it's Andrew. This was recorded back when him and Ben were in college

    G.... R....

    I looked it up and looks like you're right. I always thought they did this after their Time To Pretend EP. Cause this song was so typical their style at that time (along with Electric Feel) so I found it weird that they didn't include those songs on that EP.

    G.... R....

    I agree. Stylistically, this song sounds closer to 'Oracular Spectacular' than anything they did pre-Columbia and does sort of fit the vibe of some of those "Electric Feel" demos

  56. p.... i....

    I carved the lyrics to the first verse of this song on my high school desk in '09.

    p.... i....

    thats alotta words to carve

  57. d.... -....

    I just like these calm songs, and I had this saved in my playlist.

  58. C.... A....

    These album arts are amazing. Realy love

  59. R.... E....

    Ben has one lekker boner, heats up the picture haha. heart face

  60. A.... ....

    Back a year later and this song is still a hidden classic

  61. L.... G....

    legit their only good song

    L.... G....

    Seriously? Go check out Siberian breaks

  62. c.... u....

    Holy.... I havent listened to this in almost 4 years!!!!! NOSTALGIA

  63. G.... ....

    there is something nostalgic about this song even though I just found it in the past year.

    G.... ....

    Goodolson because everything happens so fast bro

    G.... ....

    Do you know what nostalgia is? Or how it is perceived by the person experiencing it?

  64. M.... ....

    "Electric feel" is still their best song yet.

    M.... ....

    You spell it "Siberian Breaks"
    Get a dictionary when typing

    M.... ....

    +Errorlypse The TV You spell it ''Metanoia''
    Get a dictionary when typing

    M.... ....

    @Errorlypse The TV get a life when on the internet...you need one.

    M.... ....

    It's their catchiest but Siberian Breaks is the best.

    M.... ....

    +Michael De Leon so agree with u on that Siberian breaks is my favorite

  65. p.... ....

    pee-wee's playhouse to a polka beat

  66. j.... ....

    anyone listening to this in 2016

    j.... ....

    @cimmerian 6 haha sucks for u kid

    j.... ....

  67. P.... S....

    Ben's dick is erected... omg

    P.... S....

  68. J.... w....

    Just wanted to share a cool video I found https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IexXRdos1-E

  69. R.... ....

    This is why I love YouTube!

  70. E.... E....

    Yeah, life is good :)

  71. I.... z....

    stop me if you can.
    :)

  72. D.... H....

    mgmt= life

  73. e.... ....

    Is there anyone who has an idea if MGMT still gives concerts? I mean especially touring worldwide, not only in the US but in Europe. I'm not sure if i can call myself a fan of them but since I discovered them one week ago, I listen to them 25 hours a day. So let me know if i still have a reason to live

    e.... ....

    +eMeScape I think they are in a pause, as far as I know they are still being a band

    e.... ....

    +eMeScape "Happy bday jesus . Merry holidays everyone. Happy birthday, everyone: 2016 is the year MGMT re-dominates your mind hole , see you then 💖" - MGMT

  74. P.... B....

    it this from an album or ep that i don't know about?

    P.... B....

    Nope, independent unreleased track

    P.... B....

    Actually this was the second track in the bands first Ep 'We (Dont) Care'. Which was released in 2004. :)

  75. S.... V....

    im serious the solo is the best part of this song, i must learn it.

    S.... V....

    +Shelby Wellman Ive been thinking that for about 4 years or something like that, but still I havent learned the solo, maybe its time to check my priorities...

    S.... V....

    Tab it por favor.

    S.... V....

    VanHouten! Well, that's a nice last name :D
    Yes, please, tabs, either in guitar pro format, text format or scratches on rock!

  84. A.... ....

    Makes me happysad

  85. h.... ....

    As i  heard this right now i felt a sharp pain in my chest when i realized that i'm about to graduate, everything happenin' too fast :(

    h.... ....

    Came back to this song 4 years later now. And damn. Everything is still happening so fast.

  86. s.... ....

    Tinseltown is coming like a giant bleeding heart,
    and I'm so mad, well these kids try to be funny man.
    Well I don't think it's happened much, 
    so we must destroy your art, 
    and you'll be glad that you stopped sinning, 
    and stopped caring about trying to do
    new things are a dream that every single person has, 
    and it's not real. 
    well I know I'm not too well equipped,
    But things go by so quickly I can scarcely stop to grasp
    the things I'm feelin now, and I don't doubt
    that everyone can feel it too.

    Everything is happenin' so fast
    (Everything is happenin so fast)
    Everything is happenin so fast
    (Everything is happenin so fast)

    Nature is to blame for the things we cannot tame
    so let's destroy it. Oh.
    I don't know about you, 
    but I feel like a barbarian man, stop me if you can.
    When the poison drips, 
    to create the same type of graph, 
    available at your fingertips,
    when the poison drips.

    Everything is happenin so fast
    (Everything is happenin so fast)
    Everything is happenin so fast
    (Everything is happenin so fast)
    Everything is happenin so fast
    (Everything is happenin so fast)
    Everything is happenin so fast
    (Everything is happenin so fast)

    s.... ....

    Thanks !

    s.... ....

    thanks for the lyrics did you really like it

    s.... ....

    Always heard it as "well, I know I'm not too eloquent" rather than "well equipped". You're probably right, though either could sound good, eh?

    s.... ....

    thank u

  87. s.... ....

    This song has such a happy tune, it makes me even sadder. I think they're trying to say even if everything is going at a fast pace, we still have to try to be happy :')

    s.... ....

    This song is about dropping acid and what goes threw your mind and it effects your time cuz its such a long lasting drug...

    s.... ....

    Dang...

    s.... ....

    @Sabreen S XD

  88. M.... B....

    :) good song

  89. M.... M....

    All of MGMT's old old stuff is really good. 

    M.... M....

    @Manchild The Rapper ya, I do. but oddly, I think the mid stuff is best. "sung tongues" has some really bright moments. I like their later stuff, panda bears more, but it's not as original

    M.... M....

    @Leon Herperger nice you have good taste. If you ever trip out in your life listen to AC and MGMT

    M.... M....

    @Manchild The Rapper I'm 44 years old. I'm past tripping out, although if I did it would probably be to a Schoenberg opera.
    careful man, I'm one of those small percentage that ended up schizophrenic due to chronic drug use.
    and yes, I would take it back

    M.... M....

    @Leon Herperger I have a family now so I'm past it too. I ended up in the hospital one time from taking too much acid. But I wouldn't take it back, those trips we're incredible! You feel one with the universe and analyze your life and existence. Most people don't get the opportunity to do that in their lifetime.

    M.... M....

    @Manchild The Rapper I don't know how valid those experiences are. shizophrenia is a lot like acid. if I were to appeal to drug culture, I'd say buds and shrooms. acid has a lot of anxiety with it. I'd rather feel a kinship with the planet

  90. R.... z....

    i was three years old when this song came out WHAT THE FUCK

    R.... z....

    i already smoke marijuana so ..

    R.... z....

    Smokimg marijuana? That's absolutely nothing to be proud of. But as a fourteen-year-old who likes MGMT as well, I have to say - there isn't anything abnormal about you liking their music in spite of your age and you in your own right can be a fan of it as you please

    R.... z....

    @RaInBoW zOmBeHs So cool. When I grow up im going to smoke so much weed because it will make me cool just like you! :)

    R.... z....

    @RaInBoW zOmBeHs that's how Nirvana was for me!

    R.... z....

    @RaInBoW zOmBeHs obvious troll

  91. D.... T....

    listen to it at 0.5 speed, thank me later

    D.... T....

    thanks derp, I can always count on ya

    D.... T....

    You got to put it in 0.5 speed right at the 1:00 minute mark. 

    D.... T....

    And then back to normal speed at 2:38.

    D.... T....

    +Derp Trollson Thanks!

  92. A.... M....

    MGMT makes my heart feel a certain way, its a great feeeelinnggg

  93. K.... A....

    Best MGMT song? I think yes

    K.... A....

    Flash Delirium

  94. r.... ....

    no eff way is this song 6 years old already >_< ...

    r.... ....

    10 years - this album came out in 2004! 

    r.... ....

    @SSBfights >______< 

    r.... ....

    i guess everything's happening so fast right? c:

    r.... ....

    lol perfect

  95. A.... A....

    put the speed to 0.5

    A.... A....

    +Ahmad Aizat
    But then everything is happening so slow...

    A.... A....

    +Corey Smith yeahh man. i love the slow paced version of it

    A.... A....

    make it a gram better

    A.... A....

    Underrated
