Evil Twin
Scanners Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm no superhero
I'm your evil twin
I'm less than a zero
I'm less than a zero
Breathing out and breathing in
I'm the other side
I'm your evil twin
I'm the other side
Friends in high places
I am your master
Love won't set you free
I lost my meaning
So tell me your story
That's my price now tell me yours
I'm polluted now
No clean thoughts are mine
I just turn and run
As the siren whines
I'm your negative
I'm the other side
I'm your evil twin
I'm the other side
In love with deception
I have no reflection
Mirror on your empty soul
Don't you mess with me
I'm the other side
I'm the powers that be
I'm the other side
I'm your negative
I'm the other side
I'm your evil twin
I'm the other side
The lyrics to Scanners’ song “Evil Twin” explore the dangerous duality that exists in all of us. The song presents a character who is not a hero, but rather an evil twin, less than a zero, and polluted. The character is inextricably linked to the person they are addressing as their master, who is seemingly in a position of power and influence (friends in high places), yet cannot find freedom in love.
The evil twin is presented as the negative, the other side of the coin, and the powers that be. The character is in love with deception, and has no reflection, highlighting their lack of empathy and their ability to manipulate others. The chorus is repeated throughout the song, driving home the idea of this dual nature, and the song ends on a note of warning: “Don't you mess with me, I'm the other side, I'm the powers that be, I'm the other side.”
Overall, the lyrics to “Evil Twin” are a commentary on the dark side of human nature, and the danger of succumbing to it. The song urges the listener to take heed of this side of themselves and the people around them, and not to underestimate its power.
