La Rapet
Avey Tare and Panda Bear Lyrics

Watch the scene bend as my white face cut the skies like daggers
I am causing a disturbance, and the world around me is bending and warping in response.

Face you towards the wall, you can't function but
I am trapping you in a situation where you are powerless; your only choice is to face the wall and wait for my next move.

You move a hobby
You are a source of amusement for me, something I can control and manipulate for my own enjoyment.

Reaching to the whore, step around the leash, to find the lobby
I am seeking out a prostitute, and I am so used to being in control that I can easily navigate around any obstacles in my way.

It seems you've locked the door
You have tried to protect yourself from me, but your efforts are in vain because I will find a way to get to you.

See an angel and you lose your body
When you encounter something pure and good, it has the power to overwhelm you and take possession of you completely.

My god, It's an angel, It's an angel, It's an angel
I am in awe of this angel and its power over me, repeating its name as if in a trance.

We had a date, at least I'm not a porn sleaze
I am trying to justify my behavior by pointing out that I am not engaging in any illegal or immoral activities with this person.

Isabelle, Isabelle, can't you hear me I can't tell
I am calling out for help or guidance, but it seems that nobody is listening or able to assist me.

They're in the room, like in the first job
There are other people present in the room, and it feels like a job or task that I must complete.

Hold me dear, hold me dear, can't you feel they're touched you're in
I am seeking comfort or protection from someone else, and I am warning them that the danger I am facing is affecting them too.

They'd return to throne, let them serve in battle
If given the chance, these people would become powerful leaders and warriors, capable of fighting for what they believe in.

Hands devoured!
I am being consumed or destroyed by the hands of someone else, which may be symbolic of a loss of control or power.

Take them back their homes, let their minds go where
Allow these people to return to their own lives and thoughts, free from my influence or manipulation.

There flights can't take them!
These people are unable to escape or find freedom through conventional means like flying away.

Please you've got two birds, so I highly choose
I am advising or suggesting to someone else that they have two options, and I strongly recommend one over the other.

In the basement!
I am directing someone to go to the basement for some unspecified reason.

Get out light the match, if there's angel shadows on the ceiling
If there are any signs or symbols of the angel's presence, I recommend leaving and using fire to ward them off or eliminate them.

My god, It's an angel! It's an angel! It's an angel!
I am again in awe of the angel's power, this time warning others about its presence and repeating its name as a kind of warning or prayer.

Don't have a room, each one's with a prior
There is nowhere else to go, and each room or space is already occupied by someone or something else.

Isabelle, Isabelle, we're not talking you're not well
I am acknowledging that something is wrong with Isabelle and that we are unable to communicate effectively as a result.

Well likes it goes, it's just they can't hang there
Some people are not able to survive or thrive in certain environments, even if they have no other choice but to be there.

Take them in, save them in, can't you see we're on to plan
We have a plan or strategy in place for helping or rescuing these people, and we need to act quickly to carry it out.

On to plan
We are continuing with our plan or strategy, and we are determined to see it through to the end.

There've been sadder days (sadder days) Angels (what?) Sadder days, the angels, (meh, friggin' angels)
There have been times in the past that were even worse than this, and now angels are just an annoying obstacle or annoyance to be dealt with.

Starting, to rotting, and knotting pretty angels
The angels are starting to decay or fall apart, and they are causing problems as a result.

Pretty angels
Despite their problems or decay, the angels are still beautiful, admirable, or powerful in some way.

Grab the bitches throat
I am being violent or aggressive towards a woman, possibly a sex worker or someone in a subservient position.

Then she'll see the light
If I can control this woman or gain power over her, she will see things my way and understand my perspective.

To leave the shudder
By causing someone to shudder or experience fear, I am able to gain power or control over them.

Please shed up the dog, we don't want them chasing
I am asking someone to keep their dog quiet or under control, possibly to avoid attracting unwanted attention or causing a disturbance.

We, fat chance
The idea of us succeeding or achieving our goals is unlikely, given the obstacles and challenges we face.

Break me off a piece, for there's an angel with A hand that's open
I am requesting or demanding something from someone else, possibly in exchange for helping them deal with an angel or other problem.

Like not angel to eat, said the lady to The ground, he then ate him
Someone is expressing disbelief or skepticism about the power or existence of angels, and they are being punished or consumed as a result.

Some Christ pie
This phrase has no clear meaning, but it may be a reference to religious symbolism or ritual.

It's the angel, It's your angel, Your angel
I am once again acknowledging the power and presence of the angel, possibly as a reminder to someone else to be careful or respectful.

How did they get cloned we've seen all your plant seeds
I am questioning how these angels were created or multiplied, and suggesting that someone else is responsible for their existence.

Isabelle, Isabelle, you're not with me when I plant
I am frustrated or disappointed with Isabelle for not supporting or understanding my efforts, possibly related to some kind of plan.

What about that pie, such is all that I know
I am fixated or obsessed with some kind of pie or food, possibly as a way of distracting myself from more serious problems or issues.

It's a shame, it's a shame, it's just you're not on to the plan, on to the plan
I am disappointed or frustrated that someone else is not following our plan or strategy, which may put us all in danger or risk.

Some peoples eyes are too itsy bitsy I'm so sorry
I am apologizing for judging or criticizing someone based on their appearance or physical features.

French braids will crack a window and the wind might say
This phrase has no clear meaning, but it may be a reference to some kind of ritual or mystical process.

The birds are callin' for you please don't follow
I am warning someone about the danger or consequences of following the birds or some other instinct or impulse.
