    If y’all didn’t know they wrote the song based on this taxi driver they had who told them she used to be a semi truck driver and she would take meth and crack to stay awake to do those long drives. One night she over did it and blacked out. She woke up a month later at a strip club with no truck , no memory of what happened, and a haunting feeling that she did something REALLY bad.

    fun fact: joseph michael swango (also known as dr swango, as he's mentioned in this song) was a physician born in tacoma, washington, who also happened to be a serial killer. he is estimated to have killed around thirty-five people, and changed his name at least four times, presumably to escape the police.
    haha, uhh, i shouldn't have said fun fact.

    1:25 until 1:48 the lyrics here hit different for some reason, makes me feel some type of way, like an internal chill that I can't pinpoint the feeling behind. Like, this song has a creepy, disturbing, yet beautiful and peaceful kind of vibe, y'all get what I'm saying?

      Hmm, maybe something by Cosmo Sheldrake, his songs Pelicans We, Birthday Suit and Come Along are bops, with poetic lyrics and fantasical melodies. If you want more Glass Animals songs, I recommend Pools. Stuff Is Way by There May Be Giants too is interesting, though it's a very peculiar one.

    If I got this right, it sounds like a schizophrenic who had a partner and ended up murdering them but didn't see it that way until one of his voices told him... then a bit more.

    • @pleasesetmeonfire1166
      @pleasesetmeonfire1166 6 ปีที่แล้ว +169

      Andrew Hare to me, it sounds like a mother with mental illness that snapped and killed her husband during a psychotic episode. Her kids being “dirty Dustin” and “dizzy Jim”, who were witnesses. “In the summer silence, I was getting violent” vs. “In the summer silence, I was doing nothing” being the mother’s denial and confusing conflicting thoughts. Hence the title, Mama’s Gun

      You're close. Apparently it's about a true story of woman who was on drugs to stay awake for her job (I think a truck driver). One day she passed out and woke up months later in a strip club and had the horrible feeling that she killed someone. With the guilt in her heard she was mortified and confused because she remembered nothing

      (I know this is late, but...-)
      Well I don't know the full backstory, but here's their inspiriation I guess.
      "This ominous song is partially inspired by a story by a US taxi driver who explained to frontman David Bayley the damage she imagined she'd done on an 'epic super-bender.' Bayley explained to NME that the American had overdid the crystal meth and cocaine she took to help with all-nighters as a long-haul lorry driver and blacked out for a month. The woman then feared the worst when she woke up in a strip club in the wrong State. 'She thinks she's killed someone, basically' said Bayley, 'but she's not sure. Isn't that mad?"'

    Lyrics*
    In the summer
    Took my gun
    And made him go to Neverland
    He was something
    My old husband
    He was all you'd ever want
    Did you say somethin'
    What'd you say?
    Was that your voice or was that me?
    Little voices buzzin poison
    Backward noise drom everything
    Dr Swango
    Says I'm psycho
    Says they all from Neverland
    They'll never ever let me be
    Was that your voice or was that me?
    Dirty Dustin
    Said he saw him
    Playin' ball with Dizzy Jim
    Dizzy Jim
    Had never spoken
    Whispered back "You murdered him."
    My heart strings broke and it was me
    I pull they stretch infinitely
    In the summer silence
    I was getting violent
    In the summer silence
    I was doing nothing
    Play with me my love
    In the summer sun
    I'll be waiting it
    Your favorite Cheshire grin
    Lay with me my dear
    In the evening clear
    I'll be dreaming in
    My paper pale skin
    In the summer silence
    I was getting violent
    In the summer silence
    I was doing nothing
