Here's more interesting things in songs and lyrics tied to Destroyer or about the 2000s in general.

Modern painters can’t decide
Why every time she smiles it’s just a dream
Of a world inside…
There’s a world inside…
There’s a drunkard picking fights with the bride
On what we thought would be a new, new day…

You could always stay in tonight,
And see if what the walls have been whispering is right…
I mean, that shit is right up your alley, isn’t it?…
A girl in every port,
But the world still makes sport of you, saying –
“Go find a reason… Call it Helicopter Season…
Now, repeat after me –
Is it for This I have hunted?”

Field and Stream:
Our second favorite magazine about new ways of living…
Modern painters can’t decide…
(don’t cry)
