Nervous Young Inhumans Lyrics - Car Seat Headrest

in the song I use the term "galvanistic". Galvanism is the concept...the obsolete scientific theory that there was a kind of electricity flowing through our bloodstreams and that was our life force. I used the term because I came across it in Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein'. And that book is sort of an exploration of the theme of creating a character, of making up a person. So I used the term "galvanistic" to allude to that book, as a sort of symbol of how I, like, created you as a character, and I'm pretending that I know a lot more about you than I actually do. And also to refer to the fact that I've fallen in love with the characters you've created in, uh, your body of work 

You should've seen my cursive back then 

Every letter was above the line 

My p's and q's raised their stems 

So nothing crossed beneath 

I'm a little better now 

You galvanistic young boy 

You galvanistic young man 

You galvanistic young inhuman 

You understand

Art gets what it wants and art gets what it deserves 

Most people are jokes but you're so real 

Most of the time that I use the word "you" 

Well you know that I'm mostly singing about you 

You swore you'd never use 

The face that your ex invented 

So let's meet up in

You galvanistic young boy 

You galvanistic young man 

You galvanistic young inhuman 

You understand 

You'll get what you want and you'll get what you deserve
