Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Telefon Tel Aviv's song M appear to be about two individuals who are drawn to each other despite their flaws. The first two lines suggest that they both want something from each other, but they are aware that neither of them is good. This shows that they are both self-aware and perhaps acknowledges some form of recognition that they are both damaged or have done regrettable things.


The repetitive phrase "All I can see" could be an indication of the limited perspective they have due to their tarnished past or state of mind. It is possible that they are unable to see a clear path forward or have limited themselves to certain options because of their past decisions. Additionally, this phrase could also signify a lack of communication or a reluctance to express their true feelings to one another.


The final lines, "I've done bad things, I'm no good, that makes two of us," further reinforce the idea that the two individuals have some level of mutual understanding or shared experiences. It highlights the similarities between them despite their contrasting personalities or backgrounds. Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of acceptance and recognition of flaws in oneself and others, and the possibility of finding solace in those shared imperfections.

I remember 10 years ago in 2009 berlin based dj boys noize released his album "power" and there was a promo cd with a mix on it. This one was my favourite and i never could figure out the complete tracklist, until today. So he mixed "Telefon Tel Aviv - M" into "and you will know us by the trail of dead - intelligence" and this is still so so damn good. I can't believe i found it after all the time
