The opening track to 2012’s In Our Heads, Hot Chip’s 5th LP.
The song appears to describes the relationship / personal experiences between the listener and the music being played on a CD player.
Throughout the track there are metaphors and direct connections implying the joy of listening to CDs...
[Verse 1]
Remember when people thought
The world was round? The world was round?
Remember when people thought
The world was round? The world was round?
Everything spins, everything spins on my head
Everything spins, everything spins
Everything spins on my head
Everything spins, everything spins
Everything spins on my head
On my compact disc
Everything spins, everything spins from my head
'Til my motion sickness
[Chorus]
Ah oh ooh, ooh, ooh
Ah oh ooh, ooh, ooh
Ah oh ooh, ooh, ooh
Ah oh ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 2]
Remember when we both first felt
The world is sound? The world is sound?
Remember when we both first heard
The wall of sound? The wall of sound?
Everything locks, everything locks to my grid
Everything locks, everything locks
Everything locks to my grid
Everything locks, everything locks
Everything locks to my grid and my broken lid
Everything locks, everything locks to my grid
Under my eyelid
[Chorus]
Ah oh ooh, ooh, ooh
Ah oh ooh, ooh, ooh
Ah oh ooh, ooh, ooh
Ah oh ooh, ooh, ooh
[Outro]
I am only turning now to you
I am only felt and seen by you
A world of entertainment in your hands
The world at arm's length, but no contact left
