From a wallofsoundau.com interview with guitarist Mathias Farm, Farm said of the song:
“It’s about that YouTube clip about ‘Yanny and Laurel’ and the sound, some people think it sounds like Yanny and other people hear Laurel and I guess it (the song) is a reflection on how some people are interpret...
They prophesied the end is near
Still we're grateful summer's here
Eighteen percent are idiots
Is that positive or hideous?
Got friends on every continent
The future's bright, I'm confident, yeah
You see the world is questioning
And might as well cancel everything
Watch the mad man in the car
See the drunk guy at the bar
Blame him for the planet's decline
But hey, that could be me or you
Something that we both would do
As time run's out we'll start our ride
She saw some gypsies on the tram
How they will ride it up and down
Although it was subliminal
She saw their life as criminal
Well, it was me and some Belfast kids
For what's not doing God forbids, yeah
We were heading to grandpa's grave
As I recall, I think we did it
Once or twice I've done a crime
Mostly been a waste of time
Never would have sent us to him
And there are two sides of the coin
Two sides that will never join
Even though they both are same
Like Yanny and Laurel
Like Yanny and Laurel
Like Yanny and Laurel
Like Yanny and Laurel
Once or twice I've done a crime
Mostly been a waste of time
Never would have sent us to him
And there are two sides of the coin
Two sides that will never join
Even though they both are same
Like Yanny and Laurel
We see life differently
Like Yanny and Laurel
The world's got its symmetry
Like Yanny and Laurel
No hard opinion on my world
Like Yanny and Laurel
But the planet's crushing now
Like Yanny and Laurel
Like Yanny and Laurel
Like Yanny and Laurel
Like Yanny and Laurel
Millencolin released Yanny & Laurel on Fri Feb 15 2019.
