The Man In Stripes and Glasses
Lemon Demon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The man in stripes and glasses...
The man in stripes and glasses shouted,
"Where am I?"
before a giant cartoon magnifying glass invaded from the sky and made a red and white bespectacled skeleton out of the poor guy.
Well, we never got his name.
Or a very good look.
We collected his remains in a box of books.
Well, we took the books out first,
arranged them best to worst,
just as a waste of time.
And then we put the bones in alphabetically,
sealed it up hermetically,
and never ever spoke of it again.
But every single night,
we see a red and white bespectacled skeleton
in the corner of our eye.
The man in stripes and glasses
is dead.
Dead.
DEAD.
(Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead.)
Forever.
The song "The Man in Stripes and Glasses" by Lemon Demon is a dark and eerie tale that tells the story of a man who met a horrific end. The man in stripes and glasses was shouting in confusion and questioning his whereabouts before a giant cartoon magnifying glass appeared and turned him into a red and white bespectacled skeleton. The singer remarks that they never got to know his name or get a good look at him, and instead collected his remains in a box of books.
The singer then goes on to describe how they organized the books from best to worst, and then alphabetically arranged the bones into the box. They then sealed it up hermetically and "never spoke of it again." However, every night, they see a red and white bespectacled skeleton in the corner of their eye. The song ends with the repetition of the word "dead" and the finality of the man's fate as he remains dead forever.
Overall, the song seems to be a commentary on the fragility of life and the suddenness of death. The idea that a person can be turned into a skeleton in an instant is terrifying, and the way the singer and their companions casually arrange the bones and then try to forget about it speaks to a sense of numbness or apathy towards death. The haunting image of the red and white bespectacled skeleton that appears every night reinforces the idea that death can't be escaped, even if we try to ignore it.
