about this song
“Finger Back” is about an Orthodox Jewish girl falling in love with an Arab falafel shop employee, as indicated in the bridge. In this interview with Face Culture, Ezra Koenig discusses his relationship with his mother, a couples therapist. She likes to read his lyrics and interpret them in advance. The following analysis of “Finger Back” (like at left, not in the video) incorporates some rudimentary psychoanalytic commentary. Rostam Batmanglij
