Disguises
Hidden Identities: Of Montreal's Enigmatic Disguises
Lyrics
I used to know everything about you
I used to have a deep understanding of who you are
But today when I tried to point you out to one of my friends
Today, when I tried to point you out to a friend
I picked the wrong girl again
I mistakenly identified the wrong person as you
Don't see you in the crowd anymore
I don't see you in the crowd as I used to
I think it's you but I can't be sure
I'm unsure if it's you because you've changed and I can't be certain
You're wearing disguises
You are intentionally concealing your true identity
Occasionally a girl surprises me
Occasionally, a girl surprises me by being you in disguise
When she turns out to be you
She reveals herself to be you despite my expectations
Wearing disguises
You continue to hide behind various disguises
I don't think you want me to see you ever again
I believe you don't want me to recognize you anymore
And today I saw you dressed as a flower bed
Today, I observed you dressed as a flower bed
Last week you had a wig on your head
Last week, you wore a wig on your head
Directing traffic in the street
You were involved in directing traffic in the street
And your shoes were too big for your feet
Your shoes were too big for your feet during that instance
You were wearing disguises
You continue to use disguises to conceal your identity
Occasionally a girl surprises me
Surprisingly, a girl turns out to be you even when I don't expect it
When she turns out to be you
Despite the disguises, the girl reveals herself to be you
Wearing disguises
You persist in wearing disguises to hide who you are
{repeat first verse}
(Repetition of the first verse)
Wearing disguises
You are still using disguises to conceal your true self
Wearing disguises
Reiteration of the theme of wearing disguises
Wearing disguises
Continued emphasis on the act of wearing disguises
Wearing disguises
Reiteration of the idea that you are consistently hiding behind disguises
