ArtistYesterday, upon the stair, I met a man who wasn't there He wasn't there again today I wish, I wish he'd go away... When I came home last night at three The man was waiting there for me But when I looked around the hall I couldn't see him there at all! Go away, go away, don't you come back any more! Go away, go away, and please don't slam the door... (slam!) Last night I saw upon the stair A little man who wasn't there He wasn't there again today Oh, how I wish he'd go away...
A haunting, unseen presence torments the narrator, appearing and disappearing, causing distress and a desperate plea for it to vanish. The scene is rendered with a fantastical, detailed, and surreal aesthetic.
Based on the public domain poem "Antigonish", by William Hughes Mesrns, originally published in 1899.
