Mr Twisted
Wolf Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I recognize those eyes from somewhere before
Now it freaks me out the way they stare
Broke all my mirrors 'cause I couldn't stand that gaze
Then glued all the pieces to my face

Hell yeah!

I have no friends left, don't trust them anymore
I've seen the looks they throw behind my back
I had my doubts before but now i know I'm sure
Conspiracy, it's obvious to me

Mr. Twisted, tell me where's your mind, yeah
Mr. Twisted, where'd you go and hide

Gave up my bank account, gave up my home, my phone
Still I hear voices all the time
I've painted all the windows black, to protect me from the space attack
Hoping they won't see me when they arrive

Mr. Twisted, tell me where's your mind, yeah
Mr. Twisted, where'd you go and hide


I'm leaving, I guess I'm leaving
You'll never see me again
I'm leaving, oh yes I'm leaving
You'll never hear from me again


Mr. Twisted, tell me where's your mind, yeah
Mr. Twisted, where'd you go and hide




Mr. Twisted, Mr. Twisted, Mr. Twisted, paranoia
Mr. Twisted, talk to me, Mr. Twisted

Overall Meaning

The song "Mr. Twisted" by Wolf is about a person who is experiencing paranoia and anxiety. The opening lines of the song reveal that the singer recognizes the eyes of someone who has been staring at them, and it is not clear where they have seen those eyes before, which makes them nervous. The singer's anxiety is so intense that they broke all their mirrors as they could not bear to look at themselves in the eye. They then proceeded to glue the pieces of the mirror onto their face, which suggests that they are struggling with their self-image and identity.


Furthermore, the singer used to have friends, but they no longer trust them. They believe that their friends are gossiping about them behind their back, which feeds into their paranoia. The singer has also given up all their material possessions, including their bank account, home, and phone, to distance themselves from external stimuli that may trigger their anxiety. They have gone to the extent of painting their windows black to protect themselves from a hypothetical "space attack," which demonstrates the extent of their delusions.


Overall, the song is about one person's struggle with mental illness, and how their paranoia and delusions have isolated them from society.


Line by Line Meaning

I recognize those eyes from somewhere before
I have a feeling of familiarity towards the person's eyes that I'm now encountering


Now it freaks me out the way they stare
Their intense gaze is making me really uneasy


Broke all my mirrors 'cause I couldn't stand that gaze
I got so uncomfortable seeing my reflection through their eyes that I had to remove anything that would reflect it


Then glued all the pieces to my face
I took my shattered reflection and pieced it back together onto my own face, as it was better than seeing it through their eyes


I have no friends left, don't trust them anymore
My trust in my friends diminished over time and I no longer have any left


I've seen the looks they throw behind my back
I've observed the suspicious glances my former friends gave me when they thought I wasn't looking


I had my doubts before but now I know I'm sure
Although I was uncertain about their intentions before, now I'm certain they were conspiring against me


Conspiracy, it's obvious to me
I'm certain there was a conspiracy against me since it's very clear to me


Hell yeah!
An affirmation of the previous statement


Gave up my bank account, gave up my home, my phone
I've abandoned everything material which could allow them to track me


Still I hear voices all the time
Although I gave up everything, I'm still paranoid and hearing things


I've painted all the windows black, to protect me from the space attack
I'm sure something is coming and I'm taking extreme measures to protect myself from it


Hoping they won't see me when they arrive
I'm hoping that whatever is coming won't be able to find me


I'm leaving, I guess I'm leaving
I'm finally leaving everything behind


You'll never see me again
I'm certain no one will ever see me again


Mr. Twisted, Mr. Twisted, Mr. Twisted, paranoia
Addressing his own insanity


Mr. Twisted, tell me where's your mind, yeah
Even in his madness, he's still trying to find some sense of clarity


Mr. Twisted, where'd you go and hide
He's asking himself where he's gone and what he's done


Mr. Twisted, talk to me, Mr. Twisted
He's trying to communicate with his own madness
