This is THE INTERPRETATION...i though it was about him wanting her to stay but she wants to leave...he is truly in love with her, addicted but she wants to leave there is a lot of monotony. I found someone shared my point but expressed it better so see.... YOU ARE ALL MISSING THE POINT. Don't take it so literally! Alt-J is a highly poetic band. They never go out and say it. This isn't about necrophilia OR drugs. Think about it, it's about a relationship gone completely sour. It has gone completely monotonous and she is desperately wanting to leave him. The sad part is that he is completely in love with her. Her love (probably sex) is his complete addiction. He needs this girl. He compares himself to an animal, a wild thing. He knows that he is sucking the life out of her (this is where you think it is about cannibalism) but he'd rather have her lifeless (not literally) and miserable than lose her. It's a dark way of looking at a failing relationship. She may contain the urge to run away --- (she wants to leave.) But hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks --- (he's tying her down in the relationship, breeze blocks are like bricks) Citrezene your fever’s gripped me again --- (here he is comparing her to a drug, citrezene is a drug for fevers, "she keeps him numb") Never kisses all you ever send are fullstops, la la la la --- (she continues to turn him down) Do you know where the wilds things go --- (he is calling himself an animal, perhaps a bear or something fierce) They go along to take your honey,la la la la --- (her he is taking the "bee's honey", her happiness) Break down now weep build up breakfast now --- (she always cries, but he doesn't care) Let’s eat my love my love love love, la la la la --- ("there's nothing wrong, stop crying. by continuing to eat breakfast, he proves to himself that nothing is wrong) Muscle to muscle and toe to toe --- (all through his body...) The fear has gripped me but here I go ---- (the fear of losing her is suring through him) My heart sinks as I jump up --- (he tries to be happy, or atleast show it but he knows it's all wrong) Your hand grips hand as my eyes shut --- (she's praying, while he sleeps) Ahhh ahhh ahhh ah ah, ahhh ahhh ahhh ah ah Do you know where the wild things go They go along to take your honey, la la la la Break down let’s sleep build up breakfast now------ (repetition - monotony) Let’s eat my love my love love love, la la la la She bruises coughs she splutters pistol shots --- (the relationship is killing her) But hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks ---- (still he holds her down in the relationship) She’s morphine queen of my vaccine my love my love love love, la la la la --- (he's her drug, she numbs him from the world, morphine is EXTREMELY addicting) Muscle to muscle and toe to toe The fear has gripped me but here I go My heart sinks as I jump up------------------- (repetition - the fear won't go away) Your hand grips hand as my eyes shut And ahhh ahhh ahhh ah ah, ahhh ahhh ahhh ah ah Ahhh ahhh ahhh ah ah, ahhh ahhh ahhh ah ah She may contain the urge to runaway ---- (she's begging to leave) But hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks ---- (still holds on) Germaline disinfect the scene my love my love love love --- (he knows the scene of their relationship is greusome, he knows what a toll it's taking on her, yet he still loves her) But please don’t go I love you so my lovely Please don’t go, please don’t go, I love you so, I love you so Please don’t go, please don’t go, I love you so, I love you so ---(self explanatory) Please break my heart, hey --- (he knows he's lost her love) Please don’t go, I’ll eat you whole ---- (he desperately wants her to stay, but he knows that he will "eat her away", her love of life) I love you so, I love you, so I love you so Please don’t go I’ll eat you whole I love you so, I love you so, I love you so, I love you so
It's really simple honestly , it's literally just about a relationship where the girl isn't interested anymore and wants to leave but the guy is addicted to her and won't let her leave
for everyone wanting the true meaning; its not about cannibalism, bricks, or a children's book called 'where the wild things are'. The song is based off of the idea of a man leaving a woman then finding true love. when this ex finds out she takes his wife hostage, he comes home, they fight, and she falls in the full tub she was going to use to drown his wife. she fell in because he threw what in the UK is called a breezlebock, in america its known as a cinder block.
I discovered this song on a CD in the car, I thought at the end he was saying please don't go I need you home, now I realise it's all about cannibalism and there was me singing along happily :P
Gotham Prince This is why "modern songs suck" exist...cause people look to modern crap like Piggy Azealot, instead of this raw melodic wonder....its unique as the word 'floomp'.
I always thought this was about a man loving a woman but she doesn't return the feelings, so he uses everything he can like breezeblocks to keep her from leaving.
This sinister love song is a single from their debut album, An Awesome Wave and was partly inspired by Maurice Sendak's 1963 children's picture book Where The Wild Things Are. Newman explained to Interview Magazine: "The song is about liking someone who you want so much that you want to hurt yourself and them, as well. We related that idea to Where The Wild Things Are, which we all grew up reading, where in the end the beasts say 'Oh, please don't go! We'll eat you whole! We love you so!,' that they would threaten cannibalism to have that person - it's a powerful image." Newman said to Interview Magazine regarding the song's music promo: "Our video for this track has a really different message, and yet it worked really well with the song. It's quite a weird one; people aren't sure what's going on. We liked that you might have to go back and watch it a second time to figure out what is happening." Maurice Sendak's classic children's book was originally going to be titled The Land Of Wild Horses. However, Sendak found horses difficult to draw, so he created the strange, hairy creatures that rampage through Where The Wild Things Are.
it means that he doesnt mind having her dull and numb, sucking her love for life away. he just doesnt want her to leave. its about a gone rogue relationship and he wouldnt let her go, so yeah
This is THE INTERPRETATION...i though it was about him wanting her to stay but she wants to leave...he is truly in love with her, addicted but she wants to leave there is a lot of monotony. I found someone shared my point but expressed it better so see....
YOU ARE ALL MISSING THE POINT. Don't take it so literally!
Alt-J is a highly poetic band. They never go out and say it. This isn't about necrophilia OR drugs.
Think about it, it's about a relationship gone completely sour. It has gone completely monotonous and she is desperately wanting to leave him. The sad part is that he is completely in love with her.

She may contain the urge to run away --- (she wants to leave.)
But hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks --- (he's tying her down in the relationship, breeze blocks are like bricks)
Citrezene your fever’s gripped me again --- (here he is comparing her to a drug, citrezene is a drug for fevers, "she keeps him numb")
Never kisses all you ever send are fullstops, la la la la --- (she continues to turn him down)
Do you know where the wilds things go --- (he is calling himself an animal, perhaps a bear or something fierce)
They go along to take your honey,la la la la --- (her he is taking the "bee's honey", her happiness)
Break down now weep build up breakfast now --- (she always cries, but he doesn't care)
Let’s eat my love my love love love, la la la la --- ("there's nothing wrong, stop crying. by continuing to eat breakfast, he proves to himself that nothing is wrong)
Muscle to muscle and toe to toe --- (all through his body...)
The fear has gripped me but here I go ---- (the fear of losing her is suring through him)
My heart sinks as I jump up --- (he tries to be happy, or atleast show it but he knows it's all wrong)
Your hand grips hand as my eyes shut --- (she's praying, while he sleeps)
Ahhh ahhh ahhh ah ah, ahhh ahhh ahhh ah ah
Do you know where the wild things go
They go along to take your honey, la la la la
Break down let’s sleep build up breakfast now------ (repetition - monotony)
Let’s eat my love my love love love, la la la la
She bruises coughs she splutters pistol shots --- (the relationship is killing her)
But hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks ---- (still he holds her down in the relationship)
She’s morphine queen of my vaccine my love my love love love, la la la la --- (he's her drug, she numbs him from the world, morphine is EXTREMELY addicting)
Muscle to muscle and toe to toe
The fear has gripped me but here I go
My heart sinks as I jump up------------------- (repetition - the fear won't go away)
Your hand grips hand as my eyes shut
And ahhh ahhh ahhh ah ah, ahhh ahhh ahhh ah ah
Ahhh ahhh ahhh ah ah, ahhh ahhh ahhh ah ah
She may contain the urge to runaway ---- (she's begging to leave)
But hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks ---- (still holds on)
Germaline disinfect the scene my love my love love love --- (he knows the scene of their relationship is greusome, he knows what a toll it's taking on her, yet he still loves her)
But please don’t go I love you so my lovely
Please don’t go, please don’t go, I love you so, I love you so
Please don’t go, please don’t go, I love you so, I love you so ---(self explanatory)
Please break my heart, hey --- (he knows he's lost her love)
Please don’t go, I’ll eat you whole ---- (he desperately wants her to stay, but he knows that he will "eat her away", her love of life)
I love you so, I love you, so I love you so
Please don’t go I’ll eat you whole
I love you so, I love you so, I love you so, I love you so
+Marian Segovia Thank you!!
Actually I think this is about some dude getting in love with someone he just kidnapped. Well the video says that. c:
errr.... he fights with a girl who kidnapped another girl...
No, he kindapped the girl and the other girl got in to save her?
I said this is MY interpretation
this is a fucking masterpiece
best song ever.
probably the hardest lyrics to understand
and still 112 millions of views on the clip. So many doesn't even understand it:)
Rico Nandi Come on Eileen could give it some competition
It's really simple honestly , it's literally just about a relationship where the girl isn't interested anymore and wants to leave but the guy is addicted to her and won't let her leave
One of the nicest uses of a toy piano in current music.
This song took a few listens to convince me but now I love it!
I love this song, so bloody dark and a true portrayal of emotion
for everyone wanting the true meaning; its not about cannibalism, bricks, or a children's book called 'where the wild things are'. The song is based off of the idea of a man leaving a woman then finding true love. when this ex finds out she takes his wife hostage, he comes home, they fight, and she falls in the full tub she was going to use to drown his wife. she fell in because he threw what in the UK is called a breezlebock, in america its known as a cinder block.
That was the meaning of the music video. The song itself is about not wanting to let go of someone.
tbh first time listening it I heard
"Please don't go, I need you home"
Lol Lol *I'II eat your whole
Lol Lol Hahaah lol
same it's not I'll eat you whole
this is the greatest song
Holy shit, these lyrics...
Are they good or bad?
So good that they seem bad
i thought he was saying i'll eat your soul .____________.
Salad fingers i thaught he was saying " i need you whole"
I thought it was " I'll eat ur hole " 😂
I thought it was "I'll lick your hole" 😂
I thought it was "an itchy hole"...😂
I need you home is what I always thought. ;;
"please don't go, I'll eat your hole" lol
carlos martinez XD
I discovered this song on a CD in the car, I thought at the end he was saying please don't go I need you home, now I realise it's all about cannibalism and there was me singing along happily :P
haha me too
did the research.. its not about cannibalism.. its about loving someone so much you get the urge to hurt yourself or them just to keep them.
also.. its inspired by the childrens book Where the Wild Things Are
Gotham Prince This is why "modern songs suck" exist...cause people look to modern crap like Piggy Azealot, instead of this raw melodic wonder....its unique as the word 'floomp'.
alexthomsonuk it’s not about cannibalism.
This song is a lot darker when you know the words.
Great advice for keeping a girlfriend!
this song is so good
i love this song
Relaxing, Perfect for "Those" moments in CS:GO
2:33 That 'hey' scared the crap out of me. I wasn't paying attention XD
Ninja xD
I didn't know what breezeblock means.
Now I know this song is about a fucking brick. :3
+Mihau pocomamwpisywaćnazwiskojezuz If you watch the videoclip you will understand all
+ForaxCraft shes a breezblock of his life Iam right?
Richard Tóth He kills her with a breezblock
ForaxCraft
4 real ? :D the meaning of song is that ? :D lol
Richard Tóth I dont know,if thats the meaning.... lol hahahahah
that's beautifull!
I always thought this was about a man loving a woman but she doesn't return the feelings, so he uses everything he can like breezeblocks to keep her from leaving.
the official video is really strange and cool :D
does it make a difference if it is 1080p?
+Rico Nandi shouldnt ;'p
I would practice singing Breezeblocks whenever I feel like singing it to myself
I thought it said my heart sinks as I trombone -_-
I don't think it's "I'll eat you whole"
I think it's "i need you whole"
Legionare Lets Plays same for me... it is definitively "need you whole"
No its i'll eat you whole referring to "if i cant have you no one will"
Igor Henrique "shut up" you tell to your mother, moron. It's just a disquisition about a song, take it easy.
KollateraL 9 Irony not even once
I woludn't call that irony... also buy an english dictionary. Farewell.
I owned this song
I don't understand the meaning of this song ;-; It scares me that I don't understand
Its based off of where the wild things are
Thats what I thought but it seems lie its based off A LOT more than just that.
you have the greatest name (:
Lois Ramsey
Thank you! :D

it means that he doesnt mind having her dull and numb, sucking her love for life away. he just doesnt want her to leave. its about a gone rogue relationship and he wouldnt let her go, so yeah
I thought they were saying I need you home
Run away isn't one word
+MC4gamer It depends how you put it but i dont think its correct in this
Everybody is saying it’s hard to understand I’m singing clearly
