Presenting, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.


After listening to this song for the millionth time, I realized that it would be a perfect depiction of Dr. Frankenstein. The second stanza states. "Who you following? Who you starting to move like? Who you falling for? Who you falling for? Who's lies? Who you following? Who you falling for? This sound's on your side." This part of the song stood out to me more than any other part because it's addressing how many people are like sheep. For example, Dr. Frankenstein is coasting through life with only the subject of natural philosophy in his sights. It isn't until the Creature wakes up that his attention is caught. There are many people like Dr. Frankenstein who operate on an unconscious level, as if they are on autopilot. It is stated later in the song, "What's your crime?" It arises questions within yourself as to how you could've contributed to your own despise. Dr. Frankensein blames the monster for the deaths of a few characters. However, it is his own fault. The Creature told Dr. Frankenstein that he would be with him on his wedding night, and he still marries Elizabeth. He knows that the monster is going to go after the people closest to him if he doesn't create a mate for him. Yet, he still decides not to make a suitable female companion. He operated as if he and all of the people around him were impervious to death. We are all mortal and apart of this world. The question is: Are you living in it?
