| Andrew Bird – Fake Palindromes Lyrics | 18 years ago |

See I see the song as being about a killer meeting a girl through a singles ad, "dewy eyed disney bride" "and she says i like long walks and sci-fi movies if you're six foot tall and east coast bred some lonely night we can get together" both illustrate the dating agency but then the guy isnt who he says he is and kills her "swapping your blood for formaldehyde"(embalming fluid) and "blood in her eyes" and "i'm gonna tie your wrists with leather and drill a tiny hole into your head" the refference to monsters are direct reference to what these people are and how they search for innocent victims. The title fake palindromes referes how the people dont say who they really are, in a letter they say they are one thing and turn out to be something totally different. "jesus don't you know that you could've died" is showing how dating services are irresponsible and you should watch what you are doing i cant work out what the "certain fads, stripes and plaids, singles ads they run you hot and cold like a rheostat, i mean a thermostat so you bite on a towel hope it won't hurt too bad" is refering to, it may be the pain the killer feels, wanting another victim and his search for one is all all i can think of. I think the rheostat thermostat mistake is just for flow and he does understand what they meen, |
