Every time I move I’m in another dimension
Everything I do changes what I want
I see a choice I make explode in thousands of pieces 
Every time I choose I become a shard

I could step outside and walk in any direction
Everything I choose erases ghosts of potential 
But it makes some new ghosts that I can fill
I can just choose one as far as I can tell 

Forever growing centipedes
Forever growing centipedes, you and I

If you take the 1980 Atari Centipede arcade game and mix it with some thoughts on destiny/fate, you’ve got this song: until he reaches the point of decision, there are two equally viable futures that exist, and once he’s chosen, he lives on, while the other disapears. The little arcade SFX arpeggio (first instance at 0:14) that follows each ‘forever growing centipedes’ line is like the perfect little bit that ties this all together. The interplay between the vocals and instruments is precisely engineered, trading off back and forth as the song skips along. There’s also a sort an element of companionship in the lyrics:

You and me eating mushrooms together 
We’ll stretch out so long, and hope we don’t sever 

We could both grow up to be a hundred and fifty
But for now we are children together 

The verse at 2:14 is a great little quirky break, and the words continue to refer to the game. This song is just lots of fun to listen to.
