Lyrics:
Kleptomaniacrow
Following me wherever I go
Hoping Iā€™ll drop something so
He can add to his collection
He likes the shiniest things
Dangling trinkets
Coins and beads
Offered up some crumbs to eat
But he didnā€™t seem interested

Kleptomaniacrow
Why follow I?
Iā€™ve not much stowed away
In my pockets today
You have an eye on my necklace

You start a strange charade, a dance,
Aā€™beckon me to follow
So like you always do I follow you this time
You lead me far away
Didnā€™t take you for a tour guide
You and I, parading by,
Deep into the wood

Oh Kleptomaniacrow
Leading me somewhere I donā€™t know
And to my horror you led
Me to a body at rest and
There I stood shocked by your side
For to my surprise the body was mine
Did that mean I was a ghost?
I donā€™t remember dying

And as I stood there crying
Over my own lifeless body
You felt the time was right to snatch
The locket you'd been eyeing
To my demise I realized too late
And with the pull
The corpse had disappeared
And off you flew holding my soul

ā€œFinders Keepers"
Written in chicken scratch
On my tombstone
Nice touch, thanks for that
Guess that grim reaper
Knew Iā€™d never grow old
Awful funny sendinā€™ birds to do your work though

ā€œFinders Keepers"
Well you finally have my soul
But little do you know
That necklace is
That necklace is

ā€œFinders Keepers"
Written in chicken scratch
On my tombstone
Gonna pay for that
Couldn't know better
Who knew death would come
With feathers
Who knew he'd send a greedy beak
Aā€™peckin at my feet, oh

ā€œFinders Keepers"
Well you finally have my soul
But, word to your crow, though
That necklace is fools gold

I love how it tells a story. The idea isnā€™t to rhyme or make it main stream, theyā€™re telling a story from the heart

this reminds me of a dream i had, where i was playing a game that was priding itself as "mapping out dead people's houses", and after a few levels of going through creepy mansions and derelict townhomes, i was teleported to my own front door

After the crow snatched the necklace.. She couldn't sing anymore, but whistle with the souls and the wind. Such a small but an amazing detail.

I love how this can be interpreted as a helper of the Grim reaper who is very keen on the souls and found that the witch they met was close to death. And so, the crow takes the necklaceā€”her soulā€”and gives it to the Grim reaper, the Grim reaper lets her move on and the crow gets their little treasure, it may not be gold, but it was still something. Just like how everyone, no mather how pure they are, are worth something.

The part of this song that really reaches my heart is the line "as I stood there crying over my own lifeless body." It's hard to describe why this line grips me so hard. There's something incredibly touching about the idea of mourning your own death. I don't know. It's 5 am and I'm in tears looping this song.

I LOVE MADILYN MEI SO MUCH. I wonder how her voice would sound in a spooky song. Probably really beautiful.

My headcanon of "That necklace is fools gold" is that it was a fake. The ghost is still in the cemetery, and is later the same ghost in the last song of the album.

I love the fact that her voice sounds like a child and an adult at the same time

I tried to explain this song to a friend, I explained it as "so there is this crow and this person is like 'oh the this crow love shiney things and adds then to a collection' and then later becomes 'oh crap that bird just stole my soul and gave it to the grim reaper šŸ˜'"

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A METAPHORICAL MEANING BEHIND THIS SINCE IT CAME OUT AND I THINK I'VE GOT IT Mightn't be intended feeling but it works kind of :3 It's about a bad relationship. They start of with the witch giving the crown only trinkets, giving away small bits of herself. It declined crumbs, maybe meaning a proper healthy relationship? Something like that Then the crow took her on a journey, idk starting a relationship together. At first it's fine and just travel, but then it took her to her dead body, so making her be in a very bad mental health state? Metaphorically killing her, ya know Then it took her necklace with her soul, destroying her for its own benefit. However that turns out to not actually gain the crow anything- the necklace is fools gold. This is still very vague, any thoughts please tell me!!!
