How you wanna tag my style
I am so superior
How you wanna hate a thing
When you are so inferior
How you wanna mess
How you wanna mess my spotless interior?

Let's just say
You are not the destroyer
Let's just say
[Incomprehensible]

I got my bright girl near me
She's so much taller
With a crisp endorsement
From the C.C.A.A. Booty Patrol

She's so meta
Reference Stendhal
Shares my strange urge
To smash a window in every house on our block

Delinquent days are here again

How you wanna tag my style
I am so superior
How you wanna hate a thing
When you are so inferior
How you wanna mess
How you wanna mess my spotless interior?

Let's just say
You are not the destroyer
Let's just say
[Incomprehensible]

I got my Georgie Fruit on
He's a dark mutation
For my demented past time
Giving replicators somewhere to go

But we're authentic
You can test my talons
Against your cursive body
The controller's spheres have disappeared and it hurts

Delinquent days are here again

It's like to disappear forever
I'm not afraid

There's two Gods for everyone
One, two Gods for the beasts
An hour dead

Deflects our eggs on latitude
0, 1 degree, I trusted you
No, don't explain

Moving in clipped tempos making
Sad dreams of the flag appearing
Crazy how the symbolism works
Don't look at them

    "Du er'kke den som ødelegger fitta" roughly translates to "You are not the cunt destroyer", which could be an answer to the album title "Hissing Fauna, Are you the Destroyer?", if we assume that Hissing Fauna could be an euphemism for a vagina.

    i've got some corrections

    • how you wanna tag my style when i am so superior? -my spotless interior (questionable) -refrences Stendhal -you can test my talons -but the controller sphere has dissappeared and it hurts
    • there's two gods for everyone, one, two gods for the beasts, an hour dead deflects our eggs on latitude of 01 degree -moving in clipped tempos

    Of montreal is my favorite band, i saw them in concert and i absolutely love every song and this one is very funky it reminds me of Prince, its my second favorite song on HFAYTD, i love how it ends with "don't look at them" it leaves me wanting moooore

    Who is Georgie Fruit? I've read it's a friend of Kevin's but is it a he or a she or what?

    It reminds me of Pink Floyd at the "de Gaulle..." part. I thought he was saying "soul superior" as opposed to "so" but I'm probably wrong. So as to the meaning? I was thinking of a pompous celebrity...

    Theres something that is really wierd with this, the girl in the song says "du er ikke den som ödelägger fitta" in norweigan, iam from sweden but swedes understand norweigan.

    but the thing is that, "du er ikke den som ödelägger" is a translation of "you are not the destroyer" but fitta is a very obscene word for a womans vagina.

    hahaaha thats so fucked up.

More Featured Meanings

Album art
Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Album art
Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Album art
Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
