What Are Those Teachers Talking About?



What are those teachers talking about
In this song, the students overhear discourse from the teachers, who are talking about all kinds of weird, random stuff, like nests and things. (See below if you're unfamiliar with this project). The descending scale part is the angels singing about being weirded out about messing up the teachers' minds

Weird what are those teachers talking about mix 2
Here's last week's song if you turn it around backwards.

The lyrics are:
What do you do if you let your nest in? What do you do if you let your nest in?

What are those teachers talking about? What are those teachers talking about? (2x)

I’m feeling bored inside of this room … with teachers floored underneath their own doom
My friend, he said do you want to skip class? They will not notice if we don’t have a pass

 What are those teachers talking about? What are those teachers talking about? (2x)

We messed them up, oh shit man; see, it’s too late to fix them

I’m sitting here and I’m bored, looking toward
The shitty fear that is stored in minds unmoored
The teachers minds are getting sore
It is the closing of a door
Why do they … look that way … … like they just saw a ghost yesterday
What is this…thing they say … … that they must mind their post this new way

Me and my friend, we decided to ditch; bleak is the color inside of their pitch
They’re in the dark and they have no control; their brains they got stuck and they can’t find their role

What are those teachers talking about? What are those teachers talking about? (2x)


We messed them up, oh shit man; see, it’s too late to fix them

One day, I started writing a song about a fucked up school. Then, a few days later, that lawsuit came out, involving those pervy professors in the Dartmouth Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences. I was all, oh, my stars!!! That’s where I got my Ph.D.! Then I finished writing the song about a week later. I thought it was just a song about how the school system fucks up kids, but after I finished writing and recording it, I realized parts of it were about my experiences in that poopy psych department (the unconscious mind works in mysterious ways). In any event, I decided to write an album about a fucked up school in order to process my experiences of having been in that department and how the culture there impacted me. This album ain’t necessarily about Dartmouth, per se. It’s more of a weird, inner exploration where I’m, like, having a fucked up dialogue with my unconscious about my experiences at Dartmouth. Jung used to call that kind of stuff “active imagination.” So far, this album follows the story of a girl, whose guardian angels try to protect her, but often can't find her. The angels at some point decide that they have to protect the girl from those nasty teachers and start to plot against them. But then they realize they don’t want to actually harm the teachers, so they, instead, make the teachers’ brains into nature brains ™, which are basically brains that hear communications coming from nature spirits. The angels do this because they think it’ll give those teachers more empathy, and will, in turn, be nice to the students.  After the teachers receive those nature brains, they go crazy because a mountain starts speaking to them, and the numinosity of that experience is too much for them to handle.
