Farewell To Wendo
Mock & Toof Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I like the things you do, girl
It′s surreal, the way you feel
Cause I'm the guy who′s in love with you
I am and i won't be home, I'll be back as I go
Clarinets, clarinets time′s short
I haven′t pushed you out of my hair yet.
Aya anampa
I need to keep the distance to come closer to what they say is true.
Does that mean
I should believe it
That's why I sing
Aya anampa
The secondary function of a bathroom mirror
Is to measure murmurs in mental mud,
I just like to read it
Aya anampa
Murder me with orgasms! Formula, formula
Obcsene gestures, call me names
I′m gonna start a rumour
It goes like this
Aya anampa
The lyrics of Mock & Toof's song Farewell to Wendo are both cryptic and abstract, making them open to various interpretations. The first verse seems to address Bloody Mary, a character from folklore, telling her that the subject likes the things she does and finds the way she feels surreal. The lyrics suggest that the person singing is likely in love with Bloody Mary. The second line becomes autobiographical as the song's speaker announces himself as the one who's fallen in love with Mary. The third line suggests the overwhelming nature of this love as the singer feels surreal. The last line of the first verse talks about his potential absence, most likely due to the nature of Mary's character in the story, which seems to be associated with darkness and evil.
The next verse is slightly difficult to interpret as it starts with a word in a language that isn't immediately clear. "Aya anampa" could be associated with the Aymara people of South America, but it's hard to make any clear connections to the rest of the verse. The lyrics express a sense of needing to keep the distance to come closer to what they say is true. There's a sense that the singer is struggling to find a sense of reality or truth, which might be clouded due to the intense feelings he has for Mary. The bathroom mirror is also mentioned in this verse, but its significance is not clear. The phrase "measure murmurs in mental mud" indicates that the mirror has a secondary function, perhaps in revealing the thoughts that are usually kept hidden. The last line of this verse is again, "Aya anampa," which doesn't provide solid context for the verse's interpretation.
The third verse starts with a strange line that seems to make a connection between murder and orgasms, with the phrase "Murder me with orgasms" suggesting killing through pleasure. The following line mentions obscene gestures and name-calling, both which could allude to a violent relationship or a need for attention. The next line hints at the singer's intention to start a rumor, without making it clear what the rumor will be about. The final line ends once again with "Aya anampa," leaving plenty of ambiguity about its meaning.
Overall, the lyrics of Farewell to Wendo seem to be figurative, using symbolic language to express the singer's emotions, without a clear narrative or a coherent meaning that links all the verses.
