We Were Born the Mutants Again with Leafling
Eternal Love's Eccentric Dance: Of Montreal's Musical Alchemy
Lyrics
She says I'm boring her camera
She expresses boredom with the speaker's image captured by a camera.
It takes more to delight the cadaver
It requires more than usual to bring joy or excitement to a lifeless body.
Night eyes on icy patrols
Night vision focused on cold, vigilant patrols.
Your's were not so Nazi feline
The speaker contrasts their eyes with those not associated with Nazi ideology.
Mine were as dead as monks and
The speaker's eyes are lifeless, akin to deceased monks.
Our particles are in motion
Reference to the constant movement of particles, possibly symbolizing change.
Night eyes producing ashes
Night vision causing the creation of ashes, suggesting destructive consequences.
We love to view unfortunate passions
Expresses a fascination with observing unfortunate passions.
Still she takes my photo to bed
Despite reservations, the subject still captures the speaker's image.
No mere limp verse could incite
Ordinary poetry is insufficient to provoke the destruction of identity.
Identity destruction
Reiteration of the theme of identity destruction, perhaps through art.
Our particles are in motion
Particles in motion, emphasizing the dynamic and changing nature of existence.
Sometimes we're not legible
Acknowledges the difficulty in understanding or interpreting the speaker.
But we're the same strange animal
Despite differences, there is a shared identity as a peculiar and unique creature.
Let them say our love is peculiar, don't care
Rejecting societal judgment about the unconventional nature of their love.
There's only now, no ever after
Emphasis on the present moment, rejecting the notion of a future "ever after."
We won't let it end in disaster
A commitment to avoiding a disastrous end to their relationship.
You are my twin, no, I will never go there
Affirmation of a close connection, stating a refusal to abandon the relationship.
