Lyrics
There's a side o' me I show -- a side I keep hidden
There's a visible aspect of my personality, and there's another part I keep concealed.
Sometimes they flip-flop -- hey! no kiddin'
Sometimes these aspects interchange unexpectedly.
I use my left brain then I use the right
I employ both logical and creative thinking.
I'm the day -- I'm the night
I embody contrasting elements of lightness and darkness.
My personality has a plurality
My character encompasses multiple facets.
And that's why they call me "Mr. Duality"
This complexity is why I'm referred to as "Mr. Duality."
That's me... that's me too
Reiteration of possessing dual aspects.
Now a part o' me is Jeckyl -- part is Hyde
I exhibit qualities similar to both the good-natured and malevolent characters in the story of Jekyll and Hyde.
My eggs are poached -- and then they're fried
My attitudes or approaches can vary drastically.
I can be chaste -- I can be sexual
I can embody purity or express sensuality.
I'm powerful -- well sometimes ineffectual
I possess strength but sometimes lack effectiveness.
My personality has a plurality
Reiteration of the multifaceted nature of my personality.
And that's why they call me "Mr. Duality"
Explaining the reason behind the nickname "Mr. Duality."
Two cars in my garage
Describing possessions that symbolize duality or multiplicity.
My brain's so very large
Implying a significant capacity for intellect.
Two chickens in the pot
Referencing two items representing duality.
Twice as much as you've got
Comparing possessions to highlight the duality or abundance I possess.
I'm an AM guy that's loud and boisterous
Describing contrasting behaviors depending on the situation or mood.
A party animal -- obnoxious and roisterous
Portraying contrasting social personas: loud and rowdy vs. calm and cultured.
But I can be mellow -- I've got an FM side
Highlighting a calm and cultured side.
A public radio brain full of culture and severity
Describing a side that appreciates high culture and seriousness, possibly referring to intellectual pursuits.
Until AM returns and sets my biscuits free
Awaiting the return of a livelier, more vibrant side.
Cause there's two of me... count em, two!
Acknowledging the existence of two distinct aspects of self.
I'm outgoing -- I am repressed
Experiencing both extroverted and introverted tendencies.
I feel damned and I feel blessed
Feeling a combination of both damned and blessed.
I'm male and I am female
Identifying with traits of both genders.
I think I'm in heaven I belong in jail
Feeling conflicting emotions about one's place or identity.
I'm dominant and I'm submissive
Experiencing both dominant and submissive traits.
I'm black and I'm white
Representing both black and white racial identities.
I'm inside and outside -- before and after
Describing a sense of existing in multiple states or phases.
My mind and body are slave and master
Describing an internal struggle between mind and body.
I'm funny/serious/obvious/mysterious
Exhibiting a range of contrasting personality traits.
A rude boaster and a Milquetoasts
Portraying contrasting personas, from boastful to timid.
My personality has a plurality
Reiterating the complex, multifaceted nature of the personality.
And that's why they call me "Mr. Duality"
Re-emphasizing the reason for the nickname "Mr. Duality."
(Two guys... one bod)
Humorous acknowledgment of two distinct individuals sharing one body.
My two sides want to pull me apart
Expressing a conflict between the dual aspects of the self.
But we're stuck together, where do we start?
Questioning how to reconcile these conflicting sides.
That might seem to be dichotomy
Acknowledging the apparent contradiction but suggesting it could be worse with more conflicting aspects.
But it could be worse if there were a lotta me
Expressing a reluctance to have multiple personalities beyond the existing duality.
I don't want to have multiple personalities
Stating a desire not to have more than two conflicting sides.
Two is enough! Duality
Reaffirming the concept of duality as sufficient
