Cover art for Keep the Streets Empty For Me lyrics by Fever Ray

I think this is either about a shaman shapeshifter or primal survival, or both. the deer is a man and vice versa.

Song Meaning

I got the same impression.. not necessarily a shapeshifter, but that the deer and Karin are the same person, trading perspectives. Or rather that the deer is a metaphor for what Karin is going through and they're essentially the same person.
