Letra:

You're awake, the line is dead
The wires are coiled up in your head
Your unexpected telegram is over

Connected to a time and space
A trophy in a rotten case
That licked you on your sleeping face like Rover

A fossilized remain of a foreign age
Try not to let it out of its gelatin cage
You didn't dig the bones out of some old hill
Just found them in a cabinet...

Dinosaur Pill, you know it will
Expand in your brain, the water will drain
But it's still there, it makes you scared
That all of the schemes, the threads and the themes
That make you you
Will flee now too

Curtains draw, the stage is set
Come on, has it started yet?
You're contemplating in a cloud of clover

A castle with a gear outside
A couple props your mind still hides
To stumble on when busy days are over

You never wrap them up but you can't let go
You find yourself in one and they overflow
Just distract yourself to control the spill
You want to but you haven't yet...

Dinosaur Pill, you know it will
Expand in your brain, the water will drain
But it's still there, it makes you scared
That all of the schemes, the threads and the themes
That flesh you out
Will walk about

Dinosaur Pill, you know it will
Expand in your brain, the water will drain
But it's still there, it makes you scared
That all of the schemes, the threads and the themes
That hold you stuck
Will run amok

Loyalty to your identity
What did that thing ever do for you?

Come with me, you don't need memories
To be the you that's listening right now

You can coast, the parts that matter most
Are too far in to carelessly shake out
To fall off or fall out

Look at all the Stockholm syndrome
Piling up in your childhood home

Dinosaur Pill, you know it will
Expand in your brain, the water will drain
But it's still there

Comentario del artista:

Ucklin:

This song actually started as two separate ideas. I started the song months ago, but wasn't able to quite capture the themes that I intended, so I decided to go back to the drawing board to create what is now the chorus. I decided it was worthwhile to find a way t ocombine the two ideas because I didn't want to think of more, and the verse did capture a mood that I didn't want to get rid of. I think the resulting transitions are potentially jarring, but I feel okay with the atmosphere that creates. I wanted to make a true MTaHK koan, so I won't tell you what the song is about eaxctly. You should tell me!

What waits in the water as it grows more and more?

The soft foam of a dinosaur.
