Dark Brush
Unveiling Shadows: Umphrey's McGee's Dark Brush Revelations
Lyrics
We were overstaying, it was like a
We overstayed, similar to
Dream come true
A dream coming true
Penciled in the timing
The timing was carefully planned
You know pens are only for fool
Using pens implies foolishness
Drift around when you want it
Wandering without restraint
Never seem to follow the rules
Not adhering to established rules
Enough of my talking, never be misunderstood
Expressing oneself, aiming for clarity
(If you need help, dial the operator)
Suggesting seeking help from an operator
Then you crept in my back door
Entering subtly into a personal space
Now I know that you're pissed off
Acknowledging displeasure
Want to put your hands round my throat
Expressing a desire for control, possibly metaphorical
You looked like the devil
Describing a menacing appearance
It was something I could see right through
Seeing through a facade or deception
Now I caught you counting the seconds until I'm through
Noticing impatience or anticipation
Then you crept through my back door
Repetition of the subtle entry theme
Then you crept through my back door
Repetition, possibly emphasizing intrusion
Then you crept through my back door
Reiteration, strengthening the concept
(Are you talking to me?)
Questioning, perhaps challenging the listener
