Throughout “Dirty Fingernails,” two distinct variations of Isaac’s vocals can be heard: a snarly scream, and a calm and detached voice. This represents the bipolar nature Isaac feels as a result of his depression, being both very upset while also trying to appear calm.
Dirty Fingernails Lyrics
[Intro: Isaac (Quiet), Isaac (Loud), Both]
Dirty, dirty fingernails
Dirty, dirty fingernails
Onto the bathroom floor
Out of the shower, onto the bathroom floor
Out in the kitchen, underneath the casserole
[Stanza 2: Isaac (Quiet), Isaac (Loud), Both]
Dirty, dirty fingernails
Dirty, dirty fingernails
Out of the shower, on to the bathroom floor
Out in the kitchen, underneath the casserole
Dirty, dirty fingernails
Dirty, dirty fingernails
Dirty, dirty fingernails
[Stanza 3: Isaac (Quiet), Isaac (Loud), Both]
Dirty, dirty fingernails
Votives are making the silent ones hate themselves
Dirty, dirty fingernails
I'm talking to the walls, you're throwing out the shells
Out of the shower, on to the bathroom floor
It takes a lot of energy to make that sound
Out in the kitchen, underneath the casserole
(...make that sound)
Out in the kitchen, on to the patio
It takes a lot of energy to make that sound
(...make that sound)
[Stanza 4: Isaac (Quiet), Isaac (Loud), Both]
Dirty, dirty fingernails
Dirty, dirty fingernails
Dirty, dirty fingernails
Dirty, dirty fingernails
Out of the shower, on to the bathroom floor
Out in the kitchen, underneath the casserole
Out on the patio, out in the great outdoors
[Stanza 5: Isaac (Quiet), Isaac (Loud), Both]
Dirty, dirty fingernails
Dirty fingernails
Dirty, dirty fingernails
Dirty, dirty fingernails
[Stanza 5: Isaac (Quiet)]
I woke up in my awning
I woke up, well [?] covers
