Mountain Goats, The - Unmasked! Lyrics
Rain beats down, down on the outer walls
Down on the skylight, where the streetlights
Shine like unquenchable coals
And I’m up high, trying to say goodbye
The only way I know how
Peeking through the eyeholes
Seeing the real you
And just after midnight
When it feels like it's getting late
I will reveal you
I will reveal you
Crowd's half-gone, just a few hangers-on
Come to see me finally tear through the stitching at last
Like you're free, like you can breathe now
Like they've sawn off your cast
Just one more sleeper to see through
And by way of honoring
The things we once both held dear
I will reveal you
I Will reveal you
Cast of thousands
But we were the real two
And when I'm alone
Before a mirror late at night
I will reveal you
I will reveal you

Mountain Goats, The Unmasked! Comments
The inter dimensional cable episode of rick and morty ruined this song for me
tMG is my all time favorite.... But I was not impressed with this album. This is the only song I've fallen in love with so far from "Beat the Champ."
@ImagineAGaming Sure it is. Look at the cover. Listen to the songs. Sure Darnielle included other themes in his songs, but wrestling holds the concept together. Darnielle is mark.
well guys.... 6-7 months later, and this album HAS grown on me. I think part of it is always waiting to hear the new album and expect Tallahassee/we shall all be healed tones... but once you step back and actually give it a chance for what it is, instead of who he/they are/is..... Still a few I don't like much, but it's not my least favorite anymore. Just kinda had to get into JD's mindset to see what it is and WHERE its gonna go. Thanks for the feedback, guys! hail, hail the Chicago cubs.
+Deanchester16 Something about the music video made me fall in love with TLoCG
Strange, this is one of my favourite hifi tMG records.
rivals pale green things as best closure song of all time
you're right. no tmg song has ever had more than the most obvious meaning. all those songs about eating food and travelling were exactly that, food and travelling songs. "i went to north dakota/ i drank fresh squeezed orange juice/ i watched hulk hogan's heel-face turn/ and heard about you on the news. yeahahah!" see i just wrote a tmg song by your standards
"and i saw, the thing i saw that time, and we ate a bunch of candy, and you gave me gifts of questionable value, and then you gave me a handy. yeah!" it's amazing how easy this is when you're not actually expressing anything beneath the surface
"this is a song about face value, this is a song about this guy i admire. you and i used to feed each other fruit, but a wrestler named luna had a massive house fire. i got out of jail and i thought about you i inhale and exhale and i think about you, going to nowhere, eh-eh-ehhhhhhr.
the deepest thing i've been thinking all day, is i wonder if charlie sheen is doing okay. a horror movie, a ridiculous plot, but i watched it last night and i still cried a lot, this is a song about cooold water.
yeah the entire song is about cooooold water."
+Rumchug not quite, it's about a luchador coming to terms with his own unmasking. the "you" in the song is himself without the mask.
Great analysis of this song, people missing your point that the luchadors in the song could quitr possible be John and his Stepdad revealing him for what he his but then revealing what John is because of it
