| Animal Collective – Unsolved Mysteries Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
on one level, i could see this being about jack the ripper, a radical envisioning of his emotional landscape. as others have said, the lyrics show a transition from the relative innocence of childhood to the darkness and hysteria of adulthood. "But I feel like I've just been born When you look at me with your green eyes When you look at me with your black eyes When you look at me with your dead eyes And I can't understand when holding her hand So womanly, I have to go kiss her And what a surprise to look in those eyes To find suddenly, he is Jack the Ripper Too suddenly, he was Jack the Ripper There he goes..." as i see it, this reflects the moment after jack has murdered a female victim (his displaced mother). life is represented as the color flowing from her eyes. he goes to kiss the corpse and as he pulls away, he sees his own image reflected in her lifeless eyes, realizing now that he is a monster, no longer "me" or "I" but "he," infamous serial killer. |
