Music and lyrics
Unlike Cryptograms, the Fluorescent Grey EP does not have any ambient passages. Cryptograms is the second album from Deerhunter, released through Kranky on January 29, 2007. Instead, the EP is considered to be more like "four singles. "[3]
The songs on the EP share common themes with Cryptograms, in their subject matter of death and of Bradford Cox’s adolescent experiences. On "Fluorescent Grey", the song’s focus is "panic attacks, lust, and existential dread. " Cox examines his sexuality with relation to dying in the lyrics, "why do I dream so often of his body, when his body will decay? His flesh will be fluorescent grey. " These thematic concerns are also in "Dr. Glass", where Cox utilises the contrast of love and death; "all the couples kissing…the corpses rotting. "
The music for "Like New" was written by Lockett Pundt. Cox contributed the lyrics to the song. He has explained that the song "might be about waking up one day after a long period of depression and finding the world somehow more bearable and kind of ‘new’ and exciting again. " This can be identified in the lyrics "I saw the city lanes, mirrored in falling rain, seems like new. "
In "Wash Off", Cox sings about how a "kid sold me fake acid in the parking lot of my high school and then told me something about how I wasn't open minded enough to 'let it work' or 'let it do its thing'. " [4] This is evidenced in the lyrics, "and in the parking lot, of my high school, cheap acid, soft focus. "
