Crime Scene
Mr Twin Sister Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bloodhounds tied in seaweed,
Bloodhounds in green chains,
Picnic on the river, witness claimed,
Hair was found at the foot of the woods,
One watcher knew it well,
Pushing through the line of the cops,
To get closer.
All I wanna do is be tied to you,
Terror through each quiet night,
Up and then I'm down thinking I'm dying,
Then back up where I forget.





Sicker than I've ever been, these nightmares I'm having.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mr Twin Sister's song "Crime Scene" are open to interpretation, as they are somewhat cryptic and leave a lot of room for imagination. However, one possible interpretation is that the song is about a mysterious and disturbing crime that has taken place, with bloodhounds and witnesses claiming to have seen something unsettling.


The first verse describes bloodhounds tied in seaweed and green chains, possibly suggesting that they have been used in the investigation of the crime. The witness claims to have seen a picnic on the river and hair found at the foot of the woods, which could be evidence of foul play. The second half of the verse tells of a watcher who knows something important and is trying to push through the line of cops to get closer to the crime scene.


The chorus of the song has a haunting quality, with the singer expressing a desire to be tied to someone despite the terror they feel each night. They are plagued by nightmares and feelings of sickness, but also experience moments of forgetfulness and relief. It's possible that the singer is a witness to the crime described in the first verse, or they could be experiencing some kind of emotional turmoil that parallels the theme of the song.
