Life in the Vivid Dream

Life in the Vivid Dream is a song by Grimes. It is the thirteenth track on her fourth studio album, Art Angels.
== Background ==
An a capella snippet of the song was featured in the Go music video trailer released on August 22, 2014, over a year before the track got released.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocZ5pHRzBrk
=== Meaning ===
Fans speculate the song might be one of the songs Grimes mentioned in her Dazed cover story, in which she described the song as being sung "from the perspective of angels who are polluted, so they're crying polluted tears". The lyrics "Angels will cry when it's raining / Tears that are no longer clean" further suggest this.http://www.dazeddigital.com/music/article/26282/1/grimes-weird-science
When questioned about the meaning behind the song, and the reasoning of its existence and inclusion in the record by a fan on social networking site Twitter, Grimes said the following:https://twitter.com/Grimezsz/status/660263206749802497

===Artwork===
The artwork — drawn by Grimes herself for the song — illustrates a crying chimpanzee, which is bleeding on the forehead, its head surrounded by two brances of a tree, with bombs flying towards it. 
The text in the top right says "Grimes"; the text on the right branch is possibly in cyrillic, and the letters look like "анпмл" (anpml), which doesn't mean anything, or the message is unknown, but the Chinese character in the middle is 
"醒" (xǐng), and it means “to wake up”, “awaken” or “be alert”.
:Finally, the large printed text at the bottom of the branches looks like "FAI", which is how Grimes commonly spells "Fairy" in Russian (ФАЙ), and the cursive text at the bottom is the song's name, Life in the Vivid Dream.
