Shaking Paper

I can't believe no one has commented on this song--I love the drums!

I don't really know what the last verse means. But I like the beat.

Does shaking paper mean spending money? I'm not so sure but I can't think of anything else.

I think Demons describe the sound of shaking paper is a mockery of how even the most evil/powerful things have the tiniest fear/weakness. And she's comparing that irony in another's behavior.

perhaps she is referring to shaking paper being used to recreate the sound of thunder. this sound just kinda sounds like a t-storm to me anyways, with the snare drums almost being like rain. but i agree with alovelyfadeout, how no one is completely infallible and everyone, even your highly esteemed love interest.

I thought the thunder thing is definitely a possibility.

It's really hard to explain the meanings you hold for songs sometimes. The best way I can say what I think about this song is kind of an ominous prediction, like a deep inspection of someone else's character, with kind of a mysterious, folklore-ish tone.

It definitely is very haunting when she says the final part.

Guess what I found out? You do too...

I always figured that shaking paper referred to omamori, the japanese paper charms that people would hang for protection from demons or other evils. And I figured she was calling the person that verse is directed to a demon by saying they were also scared of the sound of shaking paper.
