i heard a live version (from a dvd, i guess) in which after "straight men" rufus says "right" (like in "yeah, right"). it's quite amusing. |

the door slamming thing makes me think that the narrator is glad he's able to shut the door and just be alone with his lover and "rest on her bones", part of the gladness of loving someone and/or being with someone. |

"Andrew Bird is the King of Well Saidedness" - haha, i loved how you put it.
what about the meaning of the song as a whole? it's one of my favorites, but i have to admit it - i never quite got it. |

your thoughts about the mitosis thing is interesting! i'd never see it that way...
i can only think of the obvious: two people seemed really close when they were, in fact, growing apart. |

i guess i like "i" better than the other two, but i was happily surprised of hearing it on armchair apocrypha (?). shows that andrew probably likes the song as much as i do :)
as for the meaning, i think it's pretty clear. i like the ironic twist he gave the song by adding that "what was mistaken for closeness was just a case of mitosis" part. |

mine too.
i think it's about how much of what you believe about your own live is not real. "it's not the earth beneath me, it's just the concept of the land" and so on. |

| Andrew Bird – Imitosis Lyrics

" 'we're all basically alone' is a reference to 'I' off weather systems."
actually, imitosis seems like an extended version of "i", since it goes: "we're keeping busy /yeah we're bleeding stones/ with our machinations and our palindromes / anything but hear the voice / that says we're basically alone"
so i'm guessing the lyrics are wrong here. |
