Fancy Claps
Wolf Parade Lyrics

The lyrics of Wolf Parade's song Fancy Claps are cryptic and open to interpretation. The opening lines "I'll be home, When hair has fallen out, We'll be home, When it reaches the ground" suggests the idea of something coming full circle, perhaps life or relationships. The repetition of "we'll be home" reinforces this idea of reaching a place of comfort and stability. The following lines "We can sing, Two cracks in the crossbeams, We can sing, Very, very quietly, We can sing for each other" suggest that even in such a place of comfort and stability, there may be imperfections or damage in the structure, but people can find solace in each other's company.

The next lines "Until then, don't tear your hair out, I won't tear it out if you don't" suggest a degree of cooperation and understanding between those involved. The following lines "When I die, I'm leaving you my feet, When you die, you can stand up for me, We can lie in a homemade canoe, You can put me in your hair, I'll be happy there" veer into the realm of surreal imagery, but are perhaps meant to suggest the idea of eternal companionship, even in death.

Overall, the lyrics of the song leave room for interpretation and personal meaning to the listener, but seem to center around the idea of finding comfort and companionship.
