Atlas
People wont be people when they hear this sound
That's been glowing in the dark at the edge of town
People wont be people
No the people won't be people when they hear this sound
Won't you show me what begins at the edge of town
People wont be people when they hear this sound
That's been glowing in the dark at the edge of town
People wont be people
No the people won't be people when they hear this sound
Won't you show me what begins at the edge of town
Singer is a crook, whoa-ey-oh
Singer is a crook, whoa-ey-oh
Singer is a crook, whoa-ey-oh
Singer is a crook, whoa-ey-oh
Kitchen is the cook, whoa-ey-oh
Scissors are the barbers, whoa-ey-oh
Singer is a crook, whoa-ey-oh
The chorus full of actors
People wont be people when they hear this sound
That's been glowing in the dark at the edge of town
People wont be people
No the people won't be people when they hear this sound
Won't you show me what begins at the edge of town
People wont be people when they hear this sound
That's been glowing in the dark at the edge of town
People wont be people
No the people won't be people when they hear this sound
Won't you show me what begins at the edge of town
Singer is a crook, whoa-ey-oh
Singer is a crook, whoa-ey-oh
Singer is a crook, whoa-ey-oh
Singer is a crook, whoa-ey-oh
Kitchen is the cook, whoa-ey-oh
Scissors are the barbers, whoa-ey-oh
Singer is a crook, whoa-ey-oh
The chorus full of actors

Significado de la letra
En esta canción de 'Battles' titulada 'Atlas', se nos invita a sumergirnos en un mundo donde la música tiene el poder de transformar a las personas. El sonido que resuena en la oscuridad en los límites del pueblo despierta algo único en cada individuo, alterando su ser desde lo más profundo. El cantante, acompañado de un coro de actores, guía este viaje lleno de misterio y emoción.
Se nos presenta al cantante como un astuto personaje, mientras la cocina se convierte en el escenario de preparación y las tijeras en los verdaderos artistas detrás de las apariencias. La canción nos sumerge en un ambiente intrigante y cautivador, donde la dualidad entre la realidad y la percepción se desdibuja.
Cada repetición del estribillo nos sumerge más y más en este universo sonoro, sugiriendo que hay un comienzo oculto esperando ser revelado en los límites del pueblo. La energía y la enigmática narrativa de 'Atlas' nos invitan a explorar nuestros propios límites y a cuestionar lo que realmente nos define como seres humanos.
