Also Frightened Lyrics
Face your money into the dark
But you can't sweat unless Swung by the hen Let them crawl into the logs That damn crouching for you Offer a pen Exciting and screaming Their voices go wild And rise with the birds Mating up in the clouds Two bottles at three covered By leaves, maybe they will Make prince on their backs Will it just be like they're dreaming? Will it be just like I'm dreaming? Will it just be like they're dreaming? Will it be just like I'm dreaming? If they're awake till the dawn We won't fret they don't have our eyes Ghosting, crawling around but I Won't be slept on our side From our window to lanterns Go signs on the night And letters and shadows Go watch with the light I want to be who they will be To be more like their dad Will it just be like they're dreaming? Will it be just like I'm dreaming? Will it just be like they're dreaming? Will it be just like I'm dreaming? If the wind is threatenin' Maybe I should bath them Maybe we should let them And I have a question: ARE YOU ALSO FRIGHTENED? ARE YOU ALSO FRIGHTENED? ARE YOU ALSO FRIGHTENED? ARE YOU ALSO FRIGHTENED? ARE YOU ALSO FRIGHTENED ARE YOU ALSO FRIGHTENED? ARE YOU ALSO FRIGHTENED? ARE YOU ALSO FRIGHTENED? No one should call you a dreamer No one should call you a dreamer No one should call you a dreamer Now

and you can't sweat once you've swung by the hem
Let them crawl into the logs
Let damn groun[gings???] the hue of a pen
Exciting and screaming, their voices go wild
And rise with the birds mating up in the pines
Down to puddles that breathe covered by leaves
With mud they'll make prints on their backs
Will it just be like they're dreaming?
Will it be just like I'm dreaming?
Will it just be like they're dreaming?
Will it be just like I'm dreaming?
If they're awake till the dawn
Well we won't fret that they don't have our eyes
The ghost came crawling around
And when I woke you slept there on your side
From our window to lanterns
Go signs on the night
And light up two shadows that watch with delight
Well, I want them to be who they will be
Ooh to be more like their dad
Will it just be like they're dreaming?
Will it be just like I'm dreaming?
Will it just be like they're dreaming?
Will it be just like I'm dreaming?
When influence is threatened
Maybe I should let them
Maybe we should let them
And I have a question:
ARE YOU ALSO FRIGHTENED?
ARE YOU ALSO FRIGHTENED?
ARE YOU ALSO FRIGHTENED?
ARE YOU ALSO FRIGHTENED?
ARE YOU ALSO FRIGHTENED?
ARE YOU ALSO FRIGHTENED?
ARE YOU ALSO FRIGHTENED?
ARE YOU ALSO FRIGHTENED?
Won't she call you a dreamer?
No one should call you a dreamer?
No one should call you a dreamer?
No one should call you a dreamer?
Now
and some of that i can't catch
help?

Ghosts came crowding around and then
I woke, you slept there on your side
From our window, two lanterns draw signs on the night
And light our two shadows I watch with delight
Will I want them to be who they will be
Or to be more like their dad
Will it be just like they're dreaming
Will it be just like I'm dreaming
Will it be just like they're dreaming
Will it be just like I'm dreaming
The influence is relative
Maybe I should let them
Maybe we should let them
And I have a question:
Are you also frightened?
And no one should call you a dreamer

i think the imagery in the song is death-related, like "ghosts came crowding around" represents being taken by death, etc. and "will it be just like i'm dreaming" is asking the question, will death be just like a dream? so the singer asks, are you as scared of this as i am? "are you also frightened" of death?

Venture my way into the dark where we can sweat
One takes one by the hand
Let them crawl into the logs that dam
Brown jeans the hue of their path
Excited and screamin' their voices grow wild
And rise with the birds mating up in the pines
Down to puddles that breathe, covered by leaves
With mud they'll make prints on their backs
Will it be just like they're dreaming?
Will it be just like I'm dreaming?
Will it be just like they're dreaming?
Will it be just like I'm dreaming?
If they're awake till the dawn, well we won't
Fret that they don't have our eye
The ghosts came crowding around and then
I woke, you slept there on your side
From our window, two lanterns draw signs on the night
And light our two shadows, I watch with delight
Will I want them to be who they will be
Or to be more like their dad?
Will it be just like they're dreaming?
Will it be just like I'm dreaming?
Will it be just like they're dreaming?
Will it be just like I'm dreaming?
When influence is threatened
Maybe I should let them
Maybe we should let them
And I have a question:
Are you also frightened?
No one should call you a dreamer
Not now!

are you all so frightened
I believe oldschool animal collective fans will know that they use words differently
also= all so-
sportsbrothers= support your brother
This is a call to arms for our generation.
Take it all back from the older generation
Have them give us back our herb and our earth.
Stay out of our business because the human is an amazing soul

Mating up in the clouds
Two bottles at three covered
By leaves, maybe they will
Make prince on their backs
should be:
and rise with the birds
mating up in the pines
down to puddles 'that breathe' (or, "they'll breed?")
covered by leaves
with mud they'll make prints on their backs

It's so beautiful though. It's a song that is asking his wife if she is "Also Frightened" about raising their gorgeous children. You were right about the being afraid of them growing up. It's so pretty. Ah.

we can’t sweat one takes one by the hand.
Let them crawl into the logs, they’re damned,
brown changed the hue of their pants.
excited and screaming their voices grow wild,
and rise with the birds mating up in the pines
down to puddles that breathe, covered by leaves,
with mud they’ll make prints on their paths
But how?
Will it be just like they’re dreaming?
Will it be just like I’m dreaming
Will it be just like they’re dreaming?
Will it be just like I’m dreaming
But how?
If they’re awake ‘til the dawn well we won’t fret that they don’t have our eyes.
The ghosts came in crowding around and i
woke, you slept there on your side.
From our window two lanterns throw signs on the night
and light up two shadows, I watch with delight.
Will I want them to be who they will be, or to be more like their dad?
But how?
Will it be just like they’re dreaming?
Will it be just like I’m dreaming
Will it be just like they’re dreaming?
Will it be just like I’m dreaming
But how?
When influence is threatened,
maybe I should let them,
maybe we should let them,
and I have a question:
Are you also frightened?
Are you also frightened?
Are you also frightened?
Are you also frightened?
No one should call you a dreamer
Not now
I feel that this song is about his thoughts on being a father. It paints cryptic but vivid images of his children playing, adventuring and experimenting, while he is haunted (by what he calls ghosts) with a decision: Will I want them to be who they will be, or to be more like their dad? He's not sure whether to let them do their own thing and run their own lives or to almost control them and guard them possibly like his parents did to him. In the end I feel that the question "Are you also frightened?" is not about death, but about making a mistake in raising their children. He's scared that he wont be the parent he wants to be.
