I didn't expect to like a song named *_Toes_* so much.

Their music is like what color sounds like

Remind me to never search up “Toes” without “Glass animals” anywhere.

This song is like a lava lamp or smth

hey this song is really goOH MY GOD THE EYES ON THE TITLE ARE BLINKING

This already released 3 years ago? Holy shit. i must be livin under a rock

okay but this song has the vibe that can be described as melting crayons. that’s the only way to explain it

This song is based on The Island of Dr. Moreau, a book by H. G. Wells, who also wrote War of the Worlds and The Invisible Man. It is a book about animals being surgically transformed into humans, and after the doctor who maintains their humanity dies, they begin to revert back into the animals as which they began, gaining their primal urges back as well as they lose the part of them that remembers the rules imposed upon them by the doctor. The humanised animals were unable to smile and the doctor who had "vivisected" them, as the book says, had difficulty giving them proper hands and feet. At the end of the book, when the protagonist returns to civilisation, his trauma causes him to suspect all of humanity, even himself, to possibly be these vivisected animals. Edit: Terribly sorry about the run-on sentences. Not sure how better to structure this. Also, Oingo Boingo's No Spill Blood is about the same book, but has a much different musical tone.

The song for an eargasm. *_It’s perfect_*

This band is just on a whole other level

glass animals makes my ADHD feel so good, its too musical to be considered background music, allowing me to exist in a constant state of perpetual distraction! just how i like it (:

Distance learning is really getting to me Thought the first lyrics were "Welcome to my Zoom"

Never thought people would actually pay attention to Glass Animals, say what you want but I love that the animation meme community has noticed this masterpiece

My mom brought me here. She'll pick me up at 8.

Lyrics Put your hand down, boy Welcome to my zoo Put your head inside My big black wild while I can still help you See the snake-baboon Funky, chic, and smooth Honey, can you spy The divine ape-swine 'Cause he can see you I'm a man, I'm a twisted fool My hands are twisted, too Five fingers, two black hooves I'm a man, don't spin me a lie Got toes and I can smile I'm crooked but upright And all I ever want Is just a little love I said in purrs under the palms And all I ever want is breaking me apart I said to the thing that I once was I'm a man, I'm a twisted fool My hands are twisted too Five fingers, two black hooves I'm a man, don't spin me a lie Got toes and I can smile I'm crooked but upright To the left now, boy Underneath the moon By the thick tan sand And the tall thin grass One more thing for you See the distant flume In the sleepy dunes Makes my nerves clench close And my bones go cold When I see that room And all I ever want Is just a little love I said in purrs under the palms And all I ever want Is breaking me apart I'm a man, I'm a twisted fool My hands are twisted too Five fingers, two black hooves I'm a man, don't spin me a lie Got toes and I can smile I'm crooked but upright

whenever i listen to this, i feel like it's a really bad drug trip. the guitar strums, the echoes and the rhythm of the drum makes me feel like there's colors all around me and it feels so surreal. and during it, there's the feeling of eyes watching you and that you're being followed by something that you can see but isn't actually there. it's creepy yet impressive that glass animals can make you feel all of these twisted emotions. great work

this song is slowly bubbling, dripping ooze tbh

This song has so much more depth when it plays through a decent speaker.

man i love toes by glass animals

glass animals is way too underrated, they deserve more attention and love. YES I GET IT THEY ARENT UNDERRATED THIS WAS A YEAR AGO.

This music is the epitome of an eargasm

Glass Animals: *exists* Animation Memes: _its free real estate_

This is the best song ever made

God I love Toes in my ears

This has been a super chill homework session.

The Rubix cube has an impossible configuration

3:16 best part of the song in my opinion It just feels like you're descending into madness.

This song feels like the moment when you get up to quick and gravity feels weird.

ugh their music just makes you wanna do such bad ass shit. I wish their music was on breaking bad

If this song were a person I would take it home and cook it a 5 course meal then Netflix and chill

I know the common association with this song is The Island of Doctor Moreau, but it also reminds me of Frankenstein. The line about "five fingers to black hooves" can be related back to how, when introduced to the idea of God and creation, Frankenstein's monster sees himself in Lucifer more than in Adam. Later on the line "And my bones go cold, when I see that room" can be related back to the monster's "upbringing", spying on/learning from the human inhabitants of a small (presumably one room) cottage through cracks in the walls, learning to love and later hate that cottage because of the people living inside it. To me, this sounds the way the confrontation between Victor and the monster in the mountains sounds- the monster introducing Victor to his "zoo" of dysfunctional emotions, experiences and ideas about humans and society, an amalgam of human knowledge and philosophy without any actual humanity behind the application. (This MAY be a reach, though.)

I was talking with my friends about Glass Animals and I was like "I love toes so much!" These bitches knew *exactly* what they were doing when naming this absolute banger of a song

I'm so glad I saw Taken. I wouldn't have been introduced to this band if I hadn't seen it.

The album art though.

I actually have read The Island of Doctor Moreau, the book that inspired this song, and for some reason it captures the feeling of the book perfectly

when I look for new music on youtube this is the type of shit where i think "I arrived"

My taste in great music brought me here

You guys have to know what you where doing when composing these lyrics.. these sounds... leaves feeling that are other worldly. I am literally on full blown acid trip and this song is just inasane to say the least . The sounddss... just.. listen....

I remember where I was when I heard this for the first time. I was in the hospital. Had to be there for like 3 weeks. When I discovered this song in 2015, I was bumping it in my room the entire day lol.

every time I hear this song I feel like it should be playing in some drug Lord's underground lair in Gotham.

wheres that one person that comments the entire lyrics when i need them >://////////////

Every time i hear this song i’m filled with disgust but mesmerized. It’s the voice, the lyrics, and the music seducing me, toying with me, and warning me to flee.

I did some digging and found that this song is loosely based off a book and the story of this "crooked man" and the "boy" is quite chilling yet sad. So let's look at the meaning in each line: Put your hand down boy - you the listener is the "boy", and are also confused as to where you are or how you got there Welcome to my zoo - the location is a type of attraction/freak show Put your head inside My big black wild - he is letting you in his head, to tell you his thoughts while I can still help you - you may be in some form of danger See the snake baboon Funky, chic and smooth - inhabitants of this "zoo" are of a peculiar type Honey can you spy - you should be on guard The divine ape-swine - these animals are chimeras, a combination of two different species Cause he can see you - it's actually you who are being watched and not the other way around I’m a man, I’m a twisted fool - He's claiming to be a man My hands are twisted too - but his physical appearance is warped and twisted into something else Five fingers to black hooves - a faun type of creature I’m a man - the creature insists he's a man again he and does so repeatedly in the chorus almost like he's trying to convince himself or trying to prevent himself from forgetting it. don’t spin me a lie - He was lied to. Maybe this is why he's a "twisted fool" ? Got toes and I can smile - Trying to prove he can do "human" things. I’m crooked but upright - "crooked" is referring to his crooked physical appearance of half man/half beast. "but upright" shows that he's a actually an innocent person. And all I ever want is just a little love - "love" in this sense means to be recognized as a human being I said in purrs under the palms - he's now talking to the other members of this "zoo" now but in hushed purrs, trying to remain hidden under the palms - so he too is on guard for there are other bigger threats out there. And all I ever want is breaking me apart - the conflict in his mind is slowly driving him insane. I said to the thing that I once was - you, the "boy" is the thing that he once was. The human that he once was. To the left now boy - around the bend, in a hidden place Underneath the moon - this line signals that its at night but also a transition from the current time to a distant time in memory. By the thick tan sand And the tall thin grass - illustrates a type or eerie calmness. One more thing for you - we finally arrive at the revelation of why you are here. See the distant flume - you can actually see "it" approaching in the distance. In the sleepy dunes - sleepy dune because you may enter or leave this place while in a state of drunken stupor. possibly from being drugged and dragged there. Makes my nerves clench close And my bones go cold - this place strikes so much fear in him that the very sight chills him to the bone and makes his mind freeze in terror. When I see that room - that "room" is the place where he was first taken to, experimented on and was turned into a beast. This whole time he had been telling you that the inhabitants of this zoo are actually people who had been twisted and turned into animals. He had been losing his mind/humanity as he is struggling to remember who he was as a man. All this time, through a lulling melody, he's been guiding you to the very room where this all began to show you that the danger here is that you are next.

Jungle book on shrooms. This is it.

that amazing feeling when you just found out a band and you know you are going to have a hell of a week !

I know other people already mentioned it, but the Island of Doctor Moreau is a super intriguing book, and I think it’s worth the odd read. Plus you get to think more about the lyrics of this song.

These songs are the types I'd put full blast and just zone out for 2 hours, just existing, making a daydream to the song

The voice quiver at 1:51 has me blushing.

The music. The voice. The lyrics. The background. Every freaking thing is awesome!

Ok Ok... I admit it, it's one of them songs that get under your skin. This beat has the fluidity of a serpent gliding through the undergrowth. Nice.

Years later and this song still gives the most immaculate vibes.

My 3 year old has some good taste in music, had it on replay until I finally realized it wasn’t one of those weird KZfaq videos he usually watches and stood there in shock as he was just listening to this song on repeat. Now I have it on repeat 😂

Anyone else notice that the eyes on the Animal Glass Text are actually blinking?

maaaaaan this bit where Dave sings "and all I ever want" is PERFECT. I've never seen voice division sound and fit so nicely.

this track is drowsy, hypnotic. feels like im melting..

6 in the morning listening to this song while high. This feels so good right now

I love glass animals. Their music has a perfect calm mood and kind of mysterious sounding music. Each song is really an adventure.

*I'm a man, i'm a twisted fool,* *My hands are twisted, too:* *Five fingers to black hooves.* *I'm a man, don't spin me a lie,* *Got toes and i can smile,* *I'm crooked but upright.*

man getting high and listening to glass animals must be such a trip.

On school friend:*put hands up* teacher can i go to bathroom? me:Put your hand down boi.

Dude all of Glass animals music is so strange but great;~; same with Alt-j honestly my favorite song by Glass animals is Poplar st! It's so good!

Everytime I recommend this song I have to say "but hear me out okay" or "it's not **actually** about toes okay-"

Put your hand down, boy Welcome to my zoo Put your head inside My big black wild while I can still help you See the snake-baboon Funky, chic and smooth Honey can you spy The divine ape-swine 'Cause he can see you I'm a man, I'm a twisted fool My hands are twisted, too Five fingers to black hooves I'm a man, don't spin me a lie Got toes and I can smile I'm crooked but upright And all I ever want Is just a little love I said in purrs under the palms And all I ever want is breaking me apart I said to the thing that I once was I'm a man, I'm a twisted fool My hands are twisted too Five fingers to black hooves I'm a man, don't spin me a lie Got toes and I can smile I'm crooked but upright To the left now, boy Underneath the moon By the thick tan sand And the tall thin grass One more thing for you See the distant flume In the sleepy dunes Makes my nerves clench close And my bones go cold When I see that room And all I ever want Is just a little love I set in birds into the pond And all I ever want Is breaking me apart I'm a man, I'm a twisted fool My hands are twisted too Five fingers, to black hooves I'm a man, don't spin me a lie Got toes and I can smile I'm crooked but upright

I always thought he said "I'm cooking butterflies" lol

This screams take an acid tab

I swear, there is something beautifully natural/primal about their soundtracks. I love it though it's hard to explain in words~

After reading the book this song was based on, (The Island of Dr. Moreau by H.G. Wells)... This became an even bigger bop. Re-reading it now while listening to this song. Stars above i love this song and this band so much

The perfect song doesn't exi- *oh wait*

i don't know why, but when i play this song. i imagine myself dressed up classy, driving a bmw down the highway at night.

This band makes me feel like a toddler who got into the crayon box

WE MAKIN IT OFF THE ISLAND OF DR MOREAU WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥💯💯

Saying this with no context is concerning, " Oh, well i like toes."

sounds like alt-j and that's a compliment ;)

Art style in the backgrounds made me feeling so deep and very weird.

" Who's still with me in2021!? "

Am i crazy or are there eyes blinking in the letters?

Glass animals? More like CLASS animals... I fucking love this song. Oh man I'm a twisted fool!

Zaba is one of my favorite albums so far, it makes my mind feel like CRTV static. Just how music should

I can’t explain the feeling every time I hear this song.

this sounds like a great song to smoke a joint to!!

Just found out about this group and I can't get enough of them. Love the chill vibe, good shit

i have never been so satisfied with a youtube recommendation

The rubiks cube in the picture doesn't make sense because the second white square down on the left column on the front is adjoined on it's left by another white square on a completely different side. Therefore making it impossible to solve.

song title: toes band: glass animals me: glass animals toes

This song just made me imagine a whole ass detailed jungle

Listening to this song reminds of the multiplicity of human personality and duality in human nature. People are grafted from different aspects of experience in their lives, but there always seems to be a balance: two sides of the same coin, almost always visible in himans. What you see in one person is the opposite elsewhere. The gentility of angels fade to warlike hysterics when in hell; its like this song just subtly tries to explain that humankind is something that it itself has yet to recognize; manmade but still a part of nature. Mechanical and organic. Damn this song makes you think.

This song takes you to a whole different dimension and jungle. I'm glad I quit drugs, I'm not sure Id come back from this trip....

This is music I haven't heard in a long time...so relaxing and poetic

All I ever want is just a little love

For people who don't understand hes talking about how animals see us "I'm a man I'm a twisted fool five fingers two black hooves (shoes) I'm a man don't spit me a lie got toes and I can smile I'm crooked but upright" crooked but upright resembling how crooked people will stab you in the back but we walk standing straight up on two legs

Yo my headphones are broken and its making the voice sound underwater but all the instruments are fine. Im not rlly opposed

One of my favs from them! Perfect for my solitude.

how did i forget abt this band omg

"Hey what's your favorite song" Me: Its complicated.

"Taken 3" put it to my ear at first listening. ;) My repeat button is on fire now. :)

Glass animals are just so groovy

I freaking love this album. Got it for Christmas and couldn't be happier.

"Taken 3" brought me here. But omg im addicted to this song. Is this song a drug?

this song scares me so much. i kept thinking somebody was saying my name but im alone. it felt like somebody was watching me but at the same time i was completely lost in a jungle at in the dark and i keep hearing mysterious sounds. i got the feeling of somebody putting a knife up to my throat. Long story short, this terrifying tune gives me the feeling of certain death. amazing Edit: I posted this a year ago and wow I sound insane. I don’t remember the whole knife thing. I’m glad some people found this somewhat entertaining lol

This vibe is hot, sexiest misclick on a KZfaq video I've ever made.
