Polar Bear Lyrics

Lyric discussion by kraken890 

Cover art for Polar Bear lyrics by Puscifer

I think it's the narrator speaking to a depressed, or rock-bottomed friend/loved one. "Hoping to fade into the white"= hoping to end it all or just disappear. Also the visualization and metaphor of someone cast out alone and slowly sinking on a melting block of ice. I think Puscifer did an amazing job in setting the cold, distant, frigid mood, very reminiscent of H.P.Lovecraft's "At The Mountain's Of Madness".

Agree. I had the same impression from the very beginning

Yeah I agree with your interpretation. That's what I get from the lyrics too.

I see myself as the polar bear.

I dont think its in MJK's nature to make a sad and dissapointing reference like this to anyone in particular, i believe this to be more of a global comentary. I do however agree about the tone of the music really setting the mood for the lyrical content. the opening reminds me greatly of that of 'disco king' as it was re-done by MJK, Bowie, D.Lohner,and Frusciante (RHCP)
