Money

Ooh yeah, ohh yeah, ooh yeah, ohh yeah
Ohh.. yeah, ooh.. ohh, ooh.. yeah, ooh.. ohh
La la, la la, la la, la la, la la, doo da da da (Repeat)
The lyrics of "Two Hearts" by The Avalanches convey the pervasive influence of money and capitalist culture in our lives. The repetition of "Can't you hear it?" with "Money" underscores the constant presence and alluring power of material wealth. Stripped of any extraneous elements, the song zeroes in on this central theme. The addition of "La la, la la, la la, la la, la la, doo da da da" creates a sort of sing-song quality, ironically implying a childishness to our obsession with money.
Beyond the explicit lyrics, the music itself also communicates a sense of urgency and anxiousness. The repetitive, almost relentless beat propels the listener forward, emphasizing the unceasing nature of our desire for money. The synthesizers and sound effects that layer on top of the beat contribute to a sense of chaos, as if we are caught in a swarm of consumerism that continues to grow and mutate around us.
Overall, "Two Hearts" is a scathing critique of capitalist culture, urging us to question the hold that money has on our lives and our values.
