| The Antlers – Doppelgänger Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
I think this song is about a man who is blind to his reflection. He doesn't realize that 'ugly creature' is him. Can you hear me when I'm trapped behind the mirror? A doppelgänger roaring from my silent kind of furor? Essentially saying that it IS him behind the mirror, no matter what... If you're quiet, you can hear the monster breathing… Do you hear that gentle tapping? My ugly creature's freezing Himself is the monster, he is hearing his own breathing. He can hear himself tap the mirror, and he is cold...for some reason... And now's he howling, but I'm muted by the horror How he's everywhere and waiting now he's just around the corner He realizes that he is the moster, and that he is always waiting... Paranoia backward whispering on my shoulder like a wasp is getting nervous, so if I shiver man, it's over He is too scared of the monster, and is sent into a paranoia so bad, that if he even moves, he believes he is dead... Amazing song, one of the best off of the new album. |
