It imagines building a companion out of body parts, in the manner of Frankenstein.
The words
A narrator roams graveyards and history gathering pieces to assemble the perfect person.
In the manner of Frankenstein, a narrator roams graveyards and history gathering body parts and borrowed qualities to build himself the perfect companion. The verses list the pieces he wants, drawn from famous figures and stories, and the project grows stranger and more macabre as it goes, while the speaker remains oddly calm. The tone is darkly comic and eerie. It moves at a slow, creeping pace with a menacing, low-lit band sound.
