Here it ends
No one's gonna shed a tear
No need to shout
Just to stand the silence
(A) well spent time
In the early morning's haze
You sit and wait
Watching full glasses through blank eyes
This is not
What you wanted
Not
What you had in mind
Vacuous winter stare
Worn out version of yourself
To tough to fall

A late friend showed me this years ago, blew my mind. It came into my mind again, 7 years later. My late friend committed suicide and I miss him dearly. If you see this bro, I'm still here.
If you are wondering if there is any explicit meaning to the animation, they (the animators) said this in an interview:
We wanted to draw an image of a man who wants to escape from the system of military and injustice he was born into. He turns towards literature, aesthetics and dandyism in the early ’60s and gets involved in the same mechanisms of cruelty he once wanted to escape from.
Starting with high ambitions and getting stuck in the power structure that is ruling most of [today’s] world is the main story behind it.
if you look for more, "moderat" is a collaboration between "modeselektor" and "apparat". there you can find much more. they are both ridiculously good on their own.
Moderat might just be the best thing to happen to electronic music in a while. Such fresh and creative productions. Really a great thing they have going. Can't wait for the third album to release!
Rather send this clip on a golden disc with the next Voyager spacecraft so the other civilisations out there can get a really clear picture what's going on in our little solar system ;-)
Here it ends
No one's gonna shed a tear
No need to shout
Just to stand the silence
(A) well spent time
In the early morning's haze
You sit and wait
Watching full glasses through blank eyes
This is not
What you wanted
Not
What you had in mind
Vacuous winter stare
Worn out version of yourself
To tough to fall
But not strong enough to turn
This is not
What you wanted
Not
What you had in mind
Here it ends
No one’s gonna shed a tear
No need to shout
Just to stand the silence
[Verse 2]
(A) well spent time
In the early morning’s haze
You sit and wait
Watching full glasses through blank eyes
[Hook]
This is not
What you wanted
Not
What you had in mind
This is not
What you wanted, oh
Not
What you had in mind
[Verse 3]
Vacuous winter stare
Worn out version of yourself
To tough to fall
But not strong enough to turn
But not strong enough to turn
But not strong enough to turn
[Hook]
This is not
What you wanted
Not
What you had in mind
This is not
What you wanted
Not
What you had in mind
Ahh ahh ahh ahh
This is not
What you wanted
Not
What you had in mind
This is not
What you wanted
Not
What you had in mind
(Ahh ahh ahh ahh)
Ooh ooh ahh ooh ooh
