Reindeer Age
Closure in Moscow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm seeing their false perception
With my true perception
And he's my canary in their mine
I was gonna tell everyone
But you forced through, you left
Through the eye of the sun
I was gonna tell everyone
You are such a clever devil

I felt space and time vibrate
I've seen a glimpse
A tracing overlapped emits the evidence
So how do I transcend?
The hinges on this door are much
too heavy for my unanointed hands

I've got to fornicate with these severed ties
So long as there is no disease
your prostitute has had
She's sleeping in the steeple
so to keep penitent beds
Fostering all my millstones like she'd
shrug off with the shore
Bearing the fruit of embellishment
I've got to take it from her

Pretty queen of my intrusion
was about to yell




Forty thousand years of drippings
and her eyes did swell

Overall Meaning

The song "Reindeer Age" by Closure in Moscow is a complex and poetic meditation on personal awakening and the violence of conformity. The lyrics describe the singer's struggle to come to terms with the false perceptions of those around him, personified as a canary in a mine. The singer recognizes his own true perception, but struggles to find a way to communicate his insights to others. He feels trapped by the heavy doors of conventional thinking, but at the same time senses a glimmer of hope and possibility that he might transcend this state of mind.


At the same time, there are darker, more sensual undertones to the song. The singer speaks of "fornicating with severed ties" and indulges in fantasies of taking something from a "pretty queen of my intrusion". There is a sense of violation and transgression that runs throughout the song, a sense of breaking free from established norms and expectations.


Line by Line Meaning

I'm seeing their false perception
I am observing the distorted beliefs of others


With my true perception
Through my unfiltered view


And he's my canary in their mine
He serves as my warning in their dangerous territory


I was gonna tell everyone
I had planned to share information with the masses


But you forced through, you left
However, you exited quickly and disrupted my intent


Through the eye of the sun
Through intense illumination and scrutiny


You are such a clever devil
You are a cunning and shrewd individual


I felt space and time vibrate
I experienced the vibrations of the dimensions around me


I've seen a glimpse
I have caught a fleeting glimpse


A tracing overlapped emits the evidence
The overlapping of traces reveals the proof


So how do I transcend?
How do I rise above this situation?


The hinges on this door are much too heavy for my unanointed hands
I am not strong enough to handle the difficult task at hand


I've got to fornicate with these severed ties
I must engage in sexual acts to sever my connections with others


So long as there is no disease your prostitute has had
If my sexual partner is not infected with any harmful conditions


She's sleeping in the steeple so to keep penitent beds
She is resting in a church to maintain a pious image


Fostering all my millstones like she'd shrug off with the shore
Carrying all my burdens as if they were insignificant


Bearing the fruit of embellishment I've got to take it from her
Producing exaggerated results that I must attain from her


Pretty queen of my intrusion was about to yell
The attractive ruler of my intrusion was about to scream


Forty thousand years of drippings and her eyes did swell
Her eyes became swollen from the accumulation of liquid over thousands of years
