    I am getting chills all over my body, I cannot fathom the beauty and pure genius of this band. It's one thing to blow my mind on record but to sound that pure live? They are truly a revolutionary band and need to be more recognized.

      I know right, Joe's voice is pure and beautiful. Like how is it that possible to sound that beautiful, let alone live? Especially when he sings "and keep us on my heart" literally tears in my eyes.

    Nowadays, most bands just use computers and voice editing to make the audio versions of songs sound better. You can CLEARLY tell Alt-J has that raw sound that doesn't even need editing. They are just as good, if not better, live than they are with the regular audio you hear on the CD! Love Alt-J!

      MadChamaeleon I don't think he ment it as in a 'I don't give a fuck' sorta way.. Think he ment it as in he's naturally talented so it flows effortlessly.. Read people's intentions mate. Less negativity more intuition

      MadChamaeleon the only 'slowed down' one here is you fella.. Unless you're mocking yourself :)? Seens as it was clearly way to difficult for you to 'comprehend' that he clearly ment it in a positive way.

    Every time I hear "Three guns and one goes off, one's empty, one's not quick enough."...I can't help but hear a reference to the 'Good, The Bad, and The Ugly'... whether that is the original reference (GREAT movie), this is nevertheless a fantastic song. Wonderful voice... no auto-tune needed....

    Bite chunks out of me
    You're a shark and I'm swimming
    My heart still thumps as I bleed
    And all your friends come sniffing
    Triangles are my favorite shape
    Three points where two lines meet
    Toe to toe, back to back, let's go, my love; it's very late
    'Til morning comes, let's tessellate
    Go alone my flower
    And keep my whole lovely you
    Wild green stones alone my lover
    And keep us on my heart
    Three guns and one goes off
    One's empty, one's not quick enough
    One burn, one red, one grin
    Search the graves while the camera spins
    Chunks of you will sink down to seals
    Blubber rich in mourning, they'll nosh you up
    Yes, they'll nosh the love away but it's fair to say
    You will still haunt me
    Triangles are my favorite shape
    Three points where two lines meet
    Toe to toe, back to back, let's go my love; it's very late
    'Til morning comes, let's tessellate

    The way I see it, what the lyrics mean by "three points", is perhaps three separate places on a triangle where the same scenario takes place. As in, there are three points (or locations) on any given triangle where two lines meet.

      It is a discussion of tessellation, comparing the positioning of shapes laid out to the positioning of lovers while using triangles as a point to mention the number 3, which is the symbol for the woman (4 being the man, together being 7 or the true number), it might as well be the most important part of the song to convey the meaning.
      Just because you as sick of hearing it doesn't mean there is no meaning, ask yourself why and engage the music with some thought. This isn't a Drake song.

    Yes, but at each point of the Triangle only two lines meet. At none of the Three points of a triangle, do all 3 lines meet, and if they did, it would not be a triangle anymore.
