Do you mean "there is a me you would not recognize, dear. call it a
shadow of myself, and if the music starts..."
Over the Rhine isn't *about* anything singular in nature, at least not
on the level that the original question was asked IMHO. So many bands
are about things now a days that it's almost not worth mentioning. Limp
Biskit is *about* glamour, and attitude--wear blacked out contacts and
get arrested at the end of your video--that's cool man! Whatever.
I think otr is "about" all those things that aren't really tangible.
Like embracing life and living it to the fullest, learning, testing,
discovering, fulfillment of deep desires that go way beyond selfish. I
think otr is about being human and all the power that goes along with
that. It's about learning to harness that power by first letting it go.
but then again as we were recently reminded:
"there's so much more to life than words"
