Lyric discussion by Sobertoast 

Cover art for Unmasked! lyrics by Mountain Goats, The

These lyrics are wrongs The line "And I’m up high, trying to say goodbye" Is actually "And I'm a pie, trying to say goodbye"

the song is about a pie... Peeking through the eyeholes (The slits people put in pies so they don't explode in the oven) Seeing the real you (the you who eats pie)

And just after midnight When it feels like it’s getting late I will reveal you I will reveal you

(as the midnight snacker/pie eater that you are)

The song is actually really deep

@Sobertoast This is among the funniest comments I've read about a mountain goats song.

@Sobertoast huge if true
