Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Crystal Castles's song "Doe Deer" consist only of the repeated phrase "Deathray deathray." Though the lyrics are simple, their meaning is open to interpretation. Some listeners have suggested that the repetition of "Deathray deathray" could be a metaphor for the destructive power of technology or weaponry, while others see it as a reference to mortality and the inevitability of death.


The song's frantic, abrasive sound contributes to its intense, unsettling atmosphere. The distorted electronic beats and chaotic synth sounds combine to create a sense of frenzied energy that matches the relentless repetition of the lyrics. The vocals are distorted and processed, adding to the sense of unease.


Overall, "Doe Deer" is a challenging, confrontational track that showcases Crystal Castles' experimental approach to electronic music. The simplicity of the lyrics only serves to enhance the song's primal, instinctual energy.

[Intro]
I'm coming through, thought you knew, fuck if you didn't, fuck you
Plutonium lore. What this is, what this for

Feel my fists push black holes through your bitch ass decor
Spit it back like a whore and make you shit your fucking drawers

[Verse 1]
Scared to ride, cowards fall before my eyes, sound of my balls
Dragging like cannon loaded wagons, drug by demons down your halls
Can't imagine what's fit to happen when I get to flashing, see the small
Shrink to a fraction of what they're lacking and less than that in no time at all
Can't believe they have the gaul to try and act
Like they’re not trapped between these walls
Bring it (Bring it)
Kill it

[Chorus]
Deathray deathray
Deathray deathray
Deathray deathray
Deathray deathray

[Verse 2]
Sometimes feel like I'm close but never get there, never get there
Does it mean I'm a ghost if I'm still here? Wanna leave here
And if I am why can't I just float through the walls? Through the walls
And if I can, were they even ever there at all? Not at all
Too much time spent in the maze will drive you mad, I feel so bad
Been there so long I can't remember who I am, or where I stand
But in the end I guess I just don’t give a damn, twist a gram
And keep on sticking with the original plan, fuck it man

[Hook]
Why can't I just float through the walls?Through the walls
Why can't I just float through the walls?Through the walls
Why can't I just float through the walls?Through the walls
Why can't I just float through the walls?Through the walls

[Verse 3]
Judge you no more than I wish to be judged, even on the low
But I do know what you do not speak of, don’t know but it shows
Try to hide but I see who you are because I just know
Keep talking but you already said too much, there you go
How it is now's how it always was, that’s on my blood
How it is now's how it always was, that’s on my blood

[Verse 4]
We paint our insides black as the shadows 'hind our flesh
And make all that we lack, the part of life that we forget
All praise due to the fact that we've forgotten how to sweat it
Check it, bring it
Kill it

[Hook]
Why can't I just float through the walls?Through the walls
Why can't I just float through the walls?Through the walls
Why can't I just float through the walls?Through the walls
Why can't I just float through the walls?Through the walls

[Verse 5]
Everything I own, swear would rather slit my throat
And die on the run than be the one who ends up hangin' from that rope
Tied to the thumb of the man who comes to empty your pockets when you choke
Got to get that shit myself and get the fuck out of this game before
I end up getting stuck with no one but myself to blame

(Deathray,Deathray)

Staring at the ceiling, in the dark
Trying not to let the feeling, tear you apart
But the silence is buzzing, and it won't stop
Tell yourself it's almost over, but it's not

[Chorus]
Deathray deathray
Deathray deathray
Deathray deathray
Deathray deathray
Deathray deathray
Deathray deathray
Deathray deathray
Deathray deathray

Man Of A Thousand Faces I heard five seconds of this track and immediately downloaded the full mix, it was so worth it.

Such a wonderfully realized synthesis of the two groups’ raw passion, creating a fairly melancholic expression of wanton anger. The best mashup to do in terms of the complimentary nature that the source materials have when used with one another. Truly sublime

Indubitably
