Time to Pretend
Andrew Vanwyngarden, Ben Goldwasser
I'm feelin' rough, I'm feelin' raw
I'm in the prime of my life
Let's make some music, make some money
Find some models for wives
I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin and fuck with the stars
You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars
This is our decision to live fast and die young
We've got the vision, now let's have some fun
Yeah, it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?
Forget about our mothers and our friends
We're fated to pretend
To pretend
We're fated to pretend
To pretend
I'll miss the playgrounds
And the animals and digging up worms
I'll miss the comfort of my mother
And the weight of the world
I'll miss my sister, miss my father
Miss my dog and my home
Yeah, I'll miss the boredom
And the freedom and the time spent alone
But there is really nothing, nothing we can do
Love must be forgotten, life can always start up anew
The models will have children, we'll get a divorce
We'll find some more models, everything must run its course
We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end
We were fated to pretend
To pretend
We're fated to pretend
To pretend
I said yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
A Ironia e o Desencanto de Time To Pretend do MGMT
A música 'Time To Pretend' da banda MGMT é uma crítica irônica ao estilo de vida hedonista e às fantasias de sucesso e excesso frequentemente associadas ao mundo do rock and roll. Lançada em 2007, a canção se tornou um dos maiores sucessos do grupo, caracterizado por seu estilo psicodélico e indie rock. A letra aborda a efemeridade da juventude e a inevitabilidade de crescer, mesmo quando se está imerso em um estilo de vida de festas e superficialidades.
No início da música, o eu lírico fala sobre fazer música, ganhar dinheiro e ter modelos como esposas, mudar-se para Paris, usar heroína e se misturar com as estrelas. Essas linhas pintam um retrato glamouroso, mas ao mesmo tempo vazio e autodestrutivo, da vida de uma estrela do rock. A repetição da frase 'We're fated to pretend' (Estamos fadados a fingir) sugere uma consciência de que esse estilo de vida é uma fachada, uma atuação que esconde a realidade e a insustentabilidade desse modo de vida.
A segunda parte da música traz uma mudança de tom, onde o eu lírico expressa saudade de aspectos simples e genuínos da vida, como brincar no parquinho ou a companhia da família. A música então se volta para a aceitação de que o amor e as relações humanas são esquecidos em favor de um novo começo, onde o ciclo de modelos, divórcios e superficialidades continua. A conclusão com a imagem de sufocar no próprio vômito é uma metáfora sombria para o fim trágico que muitas vezes acompanha a vida de excessos. 'Time To Pretend' é uma reflexão sobre as escolhas de vida e a busca por significado em um mundo onde as aparências muitas vezes têm mais valor do que a realidade.
