Summing the Wretch
Unveiling Hidden Desires: Summing the Wretch by Animal Collective
Lyrics
Watch it watch you watching wretch
Observing the act of watching a wretched individual
Plugged into a people patch
Connected to a group of people, possibly suggesting social involvement
Watch as bonds that illustrate
Witnessing connections that represent relationships
Also start to complicate
These connections becoming more intricate and difficult
Catches in a net of type
Entangled in a network of a certain kind
Absence makes the sense go dark
Absence causing a loss of meaning or understanding
All of the intended dart
Referring to intended actions or words
None of the extended soul
Extended actions or expressions of the soul being absent
Getting screwed not much to do
Being in a difficult situation with limited options
When no one's watching
No one observing the actions
No one's looking
No one paying attention
Can you see, see, see, see, see, see, see, see it
Questioning if one can perceive or understand the situation
Feel a surge and make a steal
Experiencing a sudden powerful emotion and taking advantage of it
No one round to see the deed
No one around to witness the action
Surge so strong it's tough to tame
The intense emotion is challenging to control
Urges lead with none to blame
Desires leading without anyone to hold responsible
Things go up that must come down
Things that rise or improve will eventually decline
Those so down don't want to drop
Those in a low state reluctant to worsen their situation
Every one so keen to glow
Everyone eager to shine or excel
Bubble up from down below
Positive developments emerging from challenging circumstances
Wicked moves with none to lose
Daring actions without fear of consequences
When no one's looking
Actions unnoticed due to lack of observers
No one's watching
Not being observed or scrutinized
Can you be, be, be, be, be, be, be, be it
Questioning the ability to exist or be present without being noticed
So
Transition or turning point in the narrative
Don't get caught lost
Advice to avoid being lost in a situation
So
Reiteration of the advice to avoid being caught watching
Don't get caught watching
Reiteration of the advice to avoid being caught lost
Don't get caught lost
Repetition of the warning not to get caught lost
Don't get caught watching
Repetition of the warning not to get caught watching
Don't get caught lost
Final warning not to get caught lost
