- Ottoman LyricsOttoman couch, how handsome your furniture
Lovelier now, but dressed for a funeral
Begging you to sit for a portrait on the wall
To hang in the dark of some parliamentary hall
Elegant clothes you want to be seen with her
Under your tweeds you sweat like a teenager
Begging you to sit for a portrait on the wall
To hang in the dark of some parliamentary hall
Today is for you
They laid it out for you
For you
There will be six bells a-ringing and white women singing for you
But this feels so unnatural to Peter Gabriel, too
All of the cops and all of the time it took
Soon it's all lines read in a leather book
Begging you to wait for a minute by the door
Your creeping feet where they've never been before
Today is for you
They laid it out for you
For you
There will be six bells a-ringing and white women singing for you
But this feels so unnatural to Peter Gabriel, too
Lovelier now, but dressed for a funeral
Begging you to sit for a portrait on the wall
To hang in the dark of some parliamentary hall
Elegant clothes you want to be seen with her
Under your tweeds you sweat like a teenager
Begging you to sit for a portrait on the wall
To hang in the dark of some parliamentary hall
Today is for you
They laid it out for you
For you
There will be six bells a-ringing and white women singing for you
All of the cops and all of the time it took
Soon it's all lines read in a leather book
Begging you to wait for a minute by the door
Your creeping feet where they've never been before
Today is for you
They laid it out for you
For you
There will be six bells a-ringing and white women singing for you
But this feels so unnatural to Peter Gabriel, too

When we delve into what the artist truly meant to convey, Vampire Weekend's 'Ottoman' is an exploration of societal norms and the showy aspect of celebrations. It employs metaphorical expressions such as 'dressed for a funeral' and 'unnatural' to highlight the negative feelings and the lack of authenticity. The Ottoman lyrics are mainly about reflection, angst, solitude, heartbreak, and inspiration. However, the song at the same time touches on the issues of superficiality and materialism, insincerity and ritual, discomfort and alienation, and transience of fame and legacy. The lyrics do contain some mature themes and imagery that might call for parental guidance for the very young. Although the language is not very explicit, the themes of formality, unnaturalness, and perhaps political undertones might still need some context provided by parents to be better understood by children.
