Eye Pattern Blindness by Pond, or just the Beard, Wives, Denim album in general, The Bold Arrow of Time, Skeleton Tiger and lots of other stuff by Tame Impala, but yeah, I agree this is a really awesome song also.
This song was so important to me up to 6 years ago. I don't think many people know that the term "Pseudologia Fantastica" refers to Pathological Lying in Psychology & Psychiatry. I discovered this song because I was looking for some music that could refer to what I was experiencing at the time, and this felt so welcoming. I remember I cried because I felt like this song hugged me. My ex-boyfriend suffered from this illness, and I only discovered it after he had already wrecked me. Not even he knew he had it, but he knew he was killing me with all his lies. It's been 7 years now, I'm grown and have a beautiful relationship with someone else, but this song.. I gotta thank Foster The People for keeping my pieces together with this. Thank you guys.
If you've ever tried to play drums to this, you understand that this is one of the hardest rythms to keep up with. Crash + Bass, Choke, Open Hihat, Strike Open Hihat, Close Hihat, Snare Hit.... in a matter of about 2 beats, and repeat that for pretty much the whole song. The first verse is Open Hihat, Strike Open Hihat + Bass Hit, Half Closed Hihat, Strike Half Closed Hihat, Close HIhat, Snare Strike... and repeat that for the whole first verse. Pontius has such goos skills to keep all of this up! I've pretty much mastered this song on drums though will all of that! Sometimes I get confused and end up just sitting there in a trans...
been trying to learn this on drums and I can confirm it's not easy. I can play it pretty much perfectly without the bass drum but when I try adding the bass I fall apart
Does this song make anyone else feel a kind of nostalgic that’s almost unexplainable? I listened to this song for the first time years and years ago, but every time I listen to it it brings a kind of magic that I don’t feel from any other song.
I overlooked it when it came out; it gives me a nostalgic feeling too. I think it's a combination of the chord progression in the verses sounding kinda fantastical, and the swirling synth arpeggios.
I get that sorta feeling with some of the songs from Grizzly Bear in the early 2000's. It's most likely the fact that Adult Swim used their music in some bumps and I was very young waking up to that era of AS. I feel the same with this song, too. Been on and off with listening since like 2015, and it never gets old. :)

This video is like a weird dream that you try and explain to some, but then you find it impossible to do so because its so random and hard to rationalise .Love it
Well it starts off with everyone in the mining field with blind folds on, later we see that the crystals become a creature which is vibrant in colour. The creature then starts heading towards the city (which looks all industrialized and glossy with lights) when the creatures reach there, we see the giant white light guy heading towards there city, (we can say the light guys symbol's the government which is trying to cover the fake ideology of the good life the poor 3rd world workers are working (pseudologia fantasia). When the light guy gets there he disintegrates the creature, but even though the creature is gone the idea behind it will never diminish (The fact the people are getting manipulated to think diamonds on the ground hold more value then the people above it.)Thats why the beast is all colourful because it represents personal freedom and culture, and the white beaming light guy represents the glossy glittered delusional society we live in. Peace.
if you're reading this you have great taste in music. This song is amazing, yet it's still not known by many. only 1m views?! Praise you for coming here to enjoy this wonderful song and the vibes it brings!! pseudologia fantastica 🙏🏾
This for some reason has become my new favorite song. The music style of this piece hooked me right off the bat. Only til today did I start to read and comprehend the lyrics that it hit me deeper. The lyrics can relate to anything involving lying and deceit to ourselves and others. For me, I relate to my alcoholism and the lies I would continually tell myself as well as the lies that alcohol convinces me to believe. I am now a year and a half sober because I wasn't afraid to start over.
This video is perfect. It left me with chills and almost brought tears to my eyes. Bravo Foster the People and everyone else that was involved in the making of this video.
cesar navarrete I think it's a masterpiece, complex both musically and lyrically. Mark Foster is a brilliant songwriter, inspired by Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, and I think this song is like a rock symphony, like "Good Vibrations" was for the Beach Boys.
+cesar navarrete I said it before but if this song had been promoted right and crossed over into the mainstream it could have been as big as Imagine Dragons' "Radioactive". Both are great songs but this one is a bit better.
They played this at a concert and at the time I didn’t know this song, yet I was so mesmerized. I literally listened to all of their albums until I found it and I’m so glad I did
When they first released it and I saw it come up on my phone because I pre orded the album I was a little unsure but it ended up being one of my favorite songs. I have masturbated and came to this somg plenty of times whilst high off my mind.
It really is. Lmao I’m seeing this on the tail end of my trip right now, and I’m happy I can say this is the song that truly blasted me off hours ago. Watched me tapestry glow flow and melt and thought about what it might mean to apply that to regular life. Flow state
This is bittersweet. I only discovered this song now where I could've been listening to it all these years. But I'm also happy I discovered it finally.
When I first listened to samples of each song from their albums, I bought Torches and only bought two songs from Supermodel: Coming of Age and Best Friend. Back then as a teen I couldn't appreciate the sheer genius and complexity and creativity some tracks on this album display; Torches is an amazing album that stands out on its own but this one feels a bit more matured in its sound, and I've matured to appreciate it much more. Truly mesmerizing art. Love this song, Ask Yourself and A Beginner's Guide to Destroying the Moon.
Nunca vi algo tão incrível assim. Foster The People é genial! Nunca poderia imaginar alguém americano criticando o capitalismo selvagem dessa forma. Realmente incrível! I've never seen anything so incredible like this. Foster The People are the greatest! I couldn't imagine someone american criticize the wild capitalism this way. Really amazing!
Man this takes me back.. I remember I kept constantly listening to this and coming of age shortly before I started 7th grade middle school in 2014 (a month after they actually came out) all alone for the first time, those songs were the only thing that had at the time that brought me comfort and confidence to start my second middle school year all by myself.. man the memories..
Holden Caulfield I took this from wikipedia: On October 9, 2016, Foster The People played at the Rocking The Daises Music Festival, performing three new songs from their unreleased album: "Lotus Eater", "Doing It For The Money", and "Pay the Man". ...So I suppouse we'll be getting a new album next year ;D
That was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, especially high. I can't help, but clap to the artist(s) who created this video to couple this song. It fits so well, and this had me in near tears at the end. We all as a human race have a chance, we just have to open our eyes, and the light will be shown.

Foster the People are Totally Frickin Awesome! Its only been in the last 2 years that I have realized how many songs they have (I only really knew about Pumped Up Kicks) & I don't just like them, I LOVE almost all their songs I have come across, the first few were: Houdini, Worst Nites, Coming of Age - then I hit the motherload of songs: Best Friend, Warrant, Helena Beat, Sit Next to Me, Static Space Lover, Don't Stop, Style, Imagination, Pick U Up, and of course Pseudologia Fantastica, which I only came across in the last couple of months. I love how Mark is constantly breaking the mold with their music & videos, keep it up guys, if you do, I believe I will get see you inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame someday in the future! I just turned 50 so that gives you plenty of time, I think I can live til close to 80!
The layers of language, culture & vibration in this speaks in many ways. Physically the verses repeating themselves in this perfect “fractal” like pattern where it all makes sense in each language… wow!
Just got baked and am watching this projected on a wall...AMAZING! I haven't listened to many songs on Supermodel but now I think I'll have to come back to this one. FTP makes such entertaining music videos.
This is some really REALLY good stuff. These guys are an amazing group. I don't know if there is a song or album of theirs that is bad. They are THAT good. I hope they continue to pump out great music.
Está canción necesita ser más reconocida, en lo personal me encanta mucho Foster the people, últimamente no e escuchado a otra banda que tenga el mismo estilo, me encanta!🤧🤯
Just keep this up. This is very good. I'm 47 going on 29. I want the generations born after me to be proud. Fight the good fight until the beautiful light.
Idea #1: It's a criticism of the situation in some developing countries. People work hard for nothing and don't get any benefit of their work. They work as if they were blind about their situation. The crystal can be the wage. All of the money goes to the head of state/dictator (the beast). But, someone seems to show his opposition and decides to overthrow this dictator. He manages by killing the dictator and then, people realize that life is more than working for nothing and they can live freely. Idea #2: An inspiration from the book of Revelations in the Bible maybe? The beast (the Devil) managed to own the whole earth and its inhabitants who have no choice but working to live. Plus, the fruit of their labor is robbed by the beast. Then, I see that the people stand in awe of the beast who compel them to worship him. At the end, the white spirit could be Jesus who comes to destroy the beast and its subjects. By doing that, he restores hope to these hopeless people. I'd rather think it's more the idea #1. Anyway, this band is just awesome.
I agree most with idea #1, mostly because Mark Foster was traveling all around the world and he probably encountered alot of poverty and working for nothing.
Probably your idea #1 is correct, because i think that those white minions represent the people (they are small, meaning that they are less powerful than the beast - the state/dictator) and the white monster may represent some kind of military force, since the monster is bigger (in Portugal it happened, 25th April 1974). That makes the workers realize that they work for nothing (as you said) and they open their eyes. =)
i've listened to this song for a long time but only now i'm actually paying attention to it. the lyrics are beautiful and powerful, and the melody is so evolving and trippy, but in a way that makes you absorb the lyrics better. this is one of my favourite bands, i feel so connected to their songs
This. This song has something. I’ve known about it for 4 years but I revisited it again and really listened to the lyrics and I’m obsessed, it almost feels like this song was meant to be in my life
I saw this on tv when I was like 9 or 10 and I always forget the title of the song. The animation always fascinated me as it is really bright colored and just mixes with the song. Now I'm watching and listening to it again but before I found this, I had to type numerous words that started with f and p.
1 year!! I'm so proud of this band and for being one of the people that watched this video the day it came out, exactly one year ago! They totaly changed my summer, they were definitly my 2014 band. Thank you for being so awesome!
I love that girl, she is from Colombia, so I have listened to her taste in music with translations, indie and punk genres, sounds that I have adopted for my style, she is an unknown user

I honestly love this song and its meaning. I personally think its about people who say they'll stop something evil, or they try to stop something terrible but make it worse. People who just make all of these promises about saving us and the world by saying things and never following through on them, "Why’d you say, why’d you say That you’d come right back For my love, for my faith? All the promises you made never realized". Or when people attempt to stop something evil, but in no way will ever succed, "Strong and fearless and deprived just like your heroes Are you sharpening your sword? Well you'll bleed out anyway". Overall great song I love it so much. This album has such a deep meaning
+Ayo Oladeji this song is about people waking up to humanity's truth to live in love without dissonance; without allowing corporate greed to shape them into slaves of the rat race; working until retirement with hardly anything to live off on. Working a 9 to 5 job is unnatural for human beings. People are systematically being controlled and manipulated by people in power with more wealth than you can comprehend. The sooner more people WAKE UP and realize this, the sooner humanity will be living in freedom, light, and love. Ancient Egypt was similarly ruled this way.
This video fits the whole album 'supermodel' theme very accurately. The mine (blue field) represents all sorts of media and producers which creates false image and exaggerated brands (purple gemstone), that everyone wants to buy or to look like (basically everyone wants to be supermodel in one or other way, because the society tells us so, like to use make up, to be fit and skinny, to wear original clothes, to listen to pop music, to look and think like everyone else). So blue gems (everyone of us, like shown in the end of the video) attracts itself to the false image, because it wants to be like it, and creates a fashion beast with its followers (us). Without the followers, the purple manufactured gem would be like any other natural blue gem (not a beast). So the fashion beast which brings tons of money to its producers, goes to the center of attention, where it is beaten by unaffected by the false imagery inhabitants (the ones with their own opinion). In the end the purple gem turns out to be just another blue gem, and it opens the eyes for everyone.
What a musical genius Mark Foster is.
Isom, Mark and Paul Epworth write the best songs
Man, I just want everyone to know how incredible this song is. I never heard a song this intense and psychedelic at the same time.
Eye Pattern Blindness by Pond, or just the Beard, Wives, Denim album in general, The Bold Arrow of Time, Skeleton Tiger and lots of other stuff by Tame Impala, but yeah, I agree this is a really awesome song also.
I can’t stop listening ❤️
Listen to gish by smashing pumpkins, lots of psychedelic stuff on there
Listen it’s all too much, strawberry fields forever or I Am The Walrus of the Beatles

"strong and fearless and deprived just like your heroes"
Alan Martinez Are you sharpening your sword?
Leonardo Botelho will you fade out anywayyyy
Just got baked and am watching this projected on a wall...AMAZING! I haven't listened to many songs on Supermodel but now I think I'll have to come back to this one. FTP makes such entertaining music videos.
Oh my god, listen to all of them!! They're all chock-full of great sounds (Psychedelic-rock!!)
And great ideas/symbols/metaphors!
I agree
This is some really REALLY good stuff. These guys are an amazing group. I don't know if there is a song or album of theirs that is bad. They are THAT good. I hope they continue to pump out great music.
Está canción necesita ser más reconocida, en lo personal me encanta mucho Foster the people, últimamente no e escuchado a otra banda que tenga el mismo estilo, me encanta!🤧🤯
quiet soul by the impures < i suggest this indie new song is chill similar vibes imo... i recomend :)
Glue trip
Todas sus canciones son adictas jsjs
The mixing and mastering of this song is superb 👌🏿. This is what timeless great music sounds like
This song/video came out 5 1/2 years ago. Somehow its still relevant... Also Amazing can't forget that part.
It makes no sense, yet speaks to me a thousand words per picture, you three are masters of music and the mind.
It makes perfect sense, you just dont understand it.
I understand it now, I just didn't then. It still speaks a thousand words per picture to me though. :)
This video is absolutely wonderful and so creative ❤️❤️❤️
princess monoloke (hayao miyazaki movie) ;)
No one words can describe how much I love foster the people...
I've never heard anything like this. it's just...amazing
If i could like this song every time I listened to it, there'd have been hundreds of thousands of likes already!
quiet soul by the impures < i suggest this indie new song is chill similar vibes imo... i recomend :)vvvvvvvvv
I can't put my finger on it exactly, but these guys are kind of Beatlesque. Tremendously talented.
WOW!!!!!!!!! great work by mark foster! great track! :)
and Cubbie Fink & Mark Pontius!
rick swanson of course, and you should add Hannes/Johannes!!! :)
rick swanson and sean cimino and isom innis...
This has such a powerful message holy crap ! The artist did an amazing job with the story
Just keep this up. This is very good. I'm 47 going on 29. I want the generations born after me to be proud. Fight the good fight until the beautiful light.
This is a sound-vision psychedelic masterpiece.
Pasan los años y cada vez crece el cariño que les tengo 😭😫💕
Idea #1: It's a criticism of the situation in some developing countries. People work hard for nothing and don't get any benefit of their work. They work as if they were blind about their situation. The crystal can be the wage. All of the money goes to the head of state/dictator (the beast). But, someone seems to show his opposition and decides to overthrow this dictator. He manages by killing the dictator and then, people realize that life is more than working for nothing and they can live freely.
Idea #2: An inspiration from the book of Revelations in the Bible maybe?
The beast (the Devil) managed to own the whole earth and its inhabitants who have no choice but working to live. Plus, the fruit of their labor is robbed by the beast. Then, I see that the people stand in awe of the beast who compel them to worship him.
At the end, the white spirit could be Jesus who comes to destroy the beast and its subjects. By doing that, he restores hope to these hopeless people.
I'd rather think it's more the idea #1. Anyway, this band is just awesome.
Holy shit youre good
WOOW! Thanks for your comment
I agree most with idea #1, mostly because Mark Foster was traveling all around the world and he probably encountered alot of poverty and working for nothing.
Probably your idea #1 is correct, because i think that those white minions represent the people (they are small, meaning that they are less powerful than the beast - the state/dictator) and the white monster may represent some kind of military force, since the monster is bigger (in Portugal it happened, 25th April 1974). That makes the workers realize that they work for nothing (as you said) and they open their eyes. =)
Thank youuu. This is amazingly analyzed.
I REMEMBER THIS SOMG FROM WHEN I WAS REALLY SMALL MAN, I LOVED THIS ANIMATIONS SO MUCH
with bands like this maybe the future or rock is still bright
Masterpiece!
i've listened to this song for a long time but only now i'm actually paying attention to it. the lyrics are beautiful and powerful, and the melody is so evolving and trippy, but in a way that makes you absorb the lyrics better. this is one of my favourite bands, i feel so connected to their songs
This. This song has something. I’ve known about it for 4 years but I revisited it again and really listened to the lyrics and I’m obsessed, it almost feels like this song was meant to be in my life
Pseudologia =False ideology
Fantastica=Fantastic
Pseudologia fantastica= compulsive lying.
Fantastica means made up.
This video makes me cry, it is so good
Estoy enamorada de esta cancion
I saw this on tv when I was like 9 or 10 and I always forget the title of the song. The animation always fascinated me as it is really bright colored and just mixes with the song.
Now I'm watching and listening to it again but before I found this, I had to type numerous words that started with f and p.
What channel? 🤔
Yeet Table What Channel?
So trippy...I love it
This is one of the best songs ever
Absolutely amazing song and video! Can't stop watching
1 year!! I'm so proud of this band and for being one of the people that watched this video the day it came out, exactly one year ago! They totaly changed my summer, they were definitly my 2014 band. Thank you for being so awesome!
The what cha say parts are so good.
I've love this band! (ever since 2012)
I love that girl, she is from Colombia, so I have listened to her taste in music with translations, indie and punk genres, sounds that I have adopted for my style, she is an unknown user
Getting a serious tame impala vibe off everything but the chorus in this song, which is good! Absolutely love this album
I first heard this song a couple of minutes ago. I'm instantly hooked.
oookeej... movie Stonehearst Asylum brought me here
I can immediately get the tythe backed and the main real estate investors have asked me to not be awake all night so I only need an ounce hahaha certain people really do need major global lobal nobel prize money is a joke and i have a pretty good idea that the end of the world was supposed to have happened but you ruined everything oops I did it again omg her too much trouble with her face that was put in a very important area that was not happy to see each of the other ok om drunk talk starting sjee skeet
The instrumental reminds me of Tame Impala. Love it!
Amazing
I honestly love this song and its meaning. I personally think its about people who say they'll stop something evil, or they try to stop something terrible but make it worse. People who just make all of these promises about saving us and the world by saying things and never following through on them, "Why’d you say, why’d you say That you’d come right back For my love, for my faith? All the promises you made never realized". Or when people attempt to stop something evil, but in no way will ever succed, "Strong and fearless and deprived just like your heroes Are you sharpening your sword? Well you'll bleed out anyway". Overall great song I love it so much. This album has such a deep meaning
+Ayo Oladeji this song is about people waking up to humanity's truth to live in love without dissonance; without allowing corporate greed to shape them into slaves of the rat race; working until retirement with hardly anything to live off on. Working a 9 to 5 job is unnatural for human beings. People are systematically being controlled and manipulated by people in power with more wealth than you can comprehend. The sooner more people WAKE UP and realize this, the sooner humanity will be living in freedom, light, and love. Ancient Egypt was similarly ruled this way.
This is my absolute favorite foster the people song
Best Foster song? I'd say HELL YEAH!
This will be my favourite song also for the next decade
OMG!!! I love so much this song!!!
That chorus is so good. I love it so much best part of the song imo
This video fits the whole album 'supermodel' theme very accurately. The mine (blue field) represents all sorts of media and producers which creates false image and exaggerated brands (purple gemstone), that everyone wants to buy or to look like (basically everyone wants to be supermodel in one or other way, because the society tells us so, like to use make up, to be fit and skinny, to wear original clothes, to listen to pop music, to look and think like everyone else). So blue gems (everyone of us, like shown in the end of the video) attracts itself to the false image, because it wants to be like it, and creates a fashion beast with its followers (us). Without the followers, the purple manufactured gem would be like any other natural blue gem (not a beast). So the fashion beast which brings tons of money to its producers, goes to the center of attention, where it is beaten by unaffected by the false imagery inhabitants (the ones with their own opinion). In the end the purple gem turns out to be just another blue gem, and it opens the eyes for everyone.
Porque está em português o título kk? Alguem sabe?
Pq Pseudologia fantástica (Mitomania, compulsão por mentir) é uma expressão portuguesa.
Actually, it's also a Latin phrase, so I think that's what the person who first described the syndrome had in mind.
***** the title is not in latin.
Es en español latín
italian
