I've just read Frankenstein by Mary Shelly recently and it struck me hard when I got to the part where Frankenstein came back to his native town for the first time after six years faraway to study and especially the nightmare of creating a monster
right at that part, without my knowing, the chorus
" So tell me
It's good to be back
A gold star
Turns black"
banged in and got stuck in my mind and it makes sense.
I'm not sure about other parts but I feel the chorus is very related to that part in Mary's book.
There's a quote like this " Dear mountains! My own beautiful lake! How do you welcom your wanderer? Your summits are clear; the sky and lack are blue and placid. Is this to prognosticate peace or to mock at my unhappiness?"
which I think refers much to these lyrics "So tell me it's good to be back" and "a gold star turns black" might be related to the failure in creation of Frankenstein.
Anyway it's just my thought and I'm just so obsessed with both the book and this song that I really want to write this down : )
Tokyo Police Club's lyrics always a pleasure to deep into <3
Shelley's Frankenstein has such an impact on those whom it impacts, that merely by giving this song the title 'Frankenstein', how can we not make connections between the lyrics and moments that resonate. I like your interpretation. if you are still obsessed with the novel, we'd love to possibly interview you for an upcoming transmedia project to commemorate Frankenstein ("we" being a group of scholars, artists and scientists). We'll be seeking scholarly an artistic works (including music) to incorporate in a university conference and documentary film as well.
