“Lemonworld” is Matt Berninger’s self-invented sex-fantasy: “"A Lemonworld is an invented, sexy, weird place where you can escape from New York I had some image of it being a big beautiful, maybe semi-decrepit house. .... a place where these two sexy sisters who wear bathing suits all the time and drink a lot, y'know... My wife and her sister are very close in age, they're both hilarious and sexy and brilliant, so I think I was channeling them a little bit. (mess) It's a fun world."
Best bit: doo doo doo doo doo... Best lyrics: “Lay me on the table, put flowers in my mouth /
And we can say that we invented a summer lovin' torture party”
Bonus question: Would you let daddy Matt take you to his Lemonworld?
“Say You’ll Go” is the penultimate song on The ArchAndroid. Clocking in at over six minutes, the latter part of the song features a segment of Claude Debassy’s "Clare De Lune". On the track, Cyndi pledges her undying love to Anthony Greendown and asks him to meet her again in “Nirvana”
Best bit: When the piano segment comes in. Best lyrics: “The flood, the sea, the sky, the dove / Time erodes the shore but not our love”
The captivating “Lover of Mine” is the sixth song on Teen Dream, leading the less immediate back half. Driven by a dreamlike synth, the song features typically obtuse lyrics about going "off to nowhere".
It’s also the only song in the rate to receive both a 10.5 and a 0. Poor MP2K.
Best bit: The falsetto after the second chorus (can women even have falsetto??) Best lyrics: “The only thing you've got, you know you're better off without it"
