Dark Companion Lyrics

Cover art for Dark Companion lyrics by Tuxedomoon

This song is about the facade that the protagonist is forced to produce in response to his surroundings. He must be confident, brave and outgoing, but really he suffers insecurities. The performer must reluctantly put on a front for Music videos, and government policies force the songwriter toward doubts and fears. But still the doppleganger must appear brave. We toast the doppleganger and reward him for his efforts.
