| Frightened Rabbit – The Twist Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Okay, it really bothers me because it seems that people aren't getting what seems to be pretty clear from it. Everyone has been dancing around it, but has some different take. In my opinion is that this song coincides well with Keep Yourself Warm, not contradicting it. He starts out just craving the attention of sleeping with someone, as is seen in the first few verses, but then he realizes quickly that it is not enough, which ties in with the changes in lyrics of the last chorus. First he says whisper the right name, and then says I'm dave, if you please. I believe that Dave is the actual name of the character in the song. The 'if you please' is just like saying "if you will". He's just asking nicely that she call him by his real name. And then "the twist is that you're just like me" is a great word play that is saying that in reality she wants more than just casual sex too but it seems that it is alluding both of them. Well that's my take, but it seems to fit. | |
