Copper Lyrics

Cover art for Copper lyrics by Shellac

steve's using copper as a double entedre, but I'm not quite sure for what.

When I hear it I imagine "copper" as a police officer, likening it to one of those big black songs where steve puts himself in someone else's twisted shoes. But I don't see that totally making sense. Just some guy that is apparently too mediocre.
