SONG RAMBLES | animal skin (moloch)

───── I CAN SEE IT IN THEIR EYES ...

i have always associated this song with Moloch the most !!!!!!!

there’s a common phrase in media, a wolf in sheep’s clothing, where it's usually depicted as a wolf wearing a sheep’s coat or body. so yknow, i figured that could technically apply for humans as well. like Moloch wearing the bodies of Dexter and Patty (and others but shh).

the song itself is probably about a person, despite their insecurities, masking themselves as something greater and (perhaps growing into one through an animalistic manner).

but here, i want to use the lyrics in the literal sense and how it connects with the lore.

───── THEY'RE COMING FOR YOU, HONEY !!

You've gone total primitive Instinct just the will to live Never been there, never been there But I'll go, I'll go, I'll go

This verse details about Moloch's feelings between The Stars and Unwanted Guest; the demon wants to get OUT but he is stuck in that dang ouija board by two little kids. He was patient but patience can have a limit. He's growing desperate to leave, to the point of making his presence known in Skid's house.

I know where you're vulnerable Wild things can't get comfortable Quiver and shake, quiver and shake Oh no, oh no, oh no

In the second verse, Moloch in the Hollow Sorrow episode is shown to at least have some ability to read through the memories and/or feelings of the person he ate and possessed (probably...??? I don't remember seeing it being exactly confirmed but regardless, he is a good manipulator). He gets into the soft parts of the heart and pull its strings.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work on Father Gregor but it's effective either way.

I can see it in their eyes They're coming for you, honey Painted faces, sharpened knives Do you think it's funny? If you dress it up, you'll have to break it in But you never look better then when you wear your animal skin

In both times Moloch possessed a person, he encounters another being. However, as Dexter, he was the hunter and as Patty, he was a hunter turning into the hunted (...or well,.. kinda ???? my point is: he was no longer the apex predator in that situation LMAO).

But for some reason, he still tries to possess children (Roy, and then Skid and Pump). He's getting cornered now, and he was until the end.

uhhh yeah that's my rambles!!! not so much analytical (i think i may dive into it for songs about skidad) but as long as it makes sense...

of course, i'm not claiming that this song is Moloch, just that i associate Moloch with this song a LOT! i'll be back.... ty for reading !! :D
