Detailed Analysis
These lyrics from 'Me and Michael' by MGMT describe a close bond or partnership (possibly a friendship or internal duality), using abstract and metaphorical language. References to 'imaginary bombs raining down from clouds,' 'binary star,' and 'burning light' are poetic and metaphorical rather than violent or disturbing. There is no explicit language, sexual content, drug or alcohol references, or gratuitous violence. The themes of loyalty, identity, and the passage of time are relatively mild and appropriate for a wide audience. The imagery is slightly abstract and may resonate more with older listeners, but nothing here warrants restriction for younger audiences.

Lyrics
Not everyone can be like me and Michael The only problem is forgetting which side you're on (So you think) The burning light will reappear on summer nights Like all the rest, but they can't find out In every scene, it's me and Michael Imaginary bombs raining down from the clouds (So it seems) The danger signs will never let the feelings die When all the best and brightest have gone Me and Michael Solid as they come Me and Michael It's not a question now Me and Michael Solid as they come Me and Michael It's not a question now Me and Michael Binary star sink like the setting sun Too happy with ourselves to notice when the change had come (So you think) The losing side would never break dividing lines But sanctity wasn't in doubt Me and Michael Solid as they come Me and Michael It's not a question now It's me and Michael Solid as they come Me and Michael It's not a question now Me and Michael
