God sometimes it's so irritating when everyone tries to turn a song into a drug song. Maybe this is just my sentiment because my friend recently commit suicide, but this song very much screams scenarios of different people who have had the last straw. The rabbit has had enough of things being taken from him, he's not letting the coin disposal get the last of his coins. The worm has been approached by someone who wants to change something, perhaps some concerned loved ones. Perhaps business partners. The worm doesn't want change, the worm shuts them out. He doesn't want the last bit of his comfort to be taken away. The badger is heavily sedating himself or committing suicide. Everyone around him thought ill of him and tried to make him sink, he tried until it broke him. The girl who collects shells returns to her beloved pass-time. The one thing that brings her comfort--hearing the treasure trove of people conversing in a park as she collects her beloved shells. That is her diamond. The sparrows represent the anxiety that accompanies the stress in these lives. How hard it is to express thoughts, ideas, feelings when feeling this way. Ideas ricocheting everywhere before finally coming out the right way. The person creeping across the mattress is the depression, the anxiety, the disease or what have you that infests these lives. When did everything suddenly feel less alive? It's the point when you ask yourself: How did I end up here? The last verse speaks of polite disengagement. We are all constantly in situations where we are inches apart from other people, yet we choose not to look or speak to them. Emotionally, we are all miles apart even if we are forced to interact in daily routine. |

| ^ The character is scared/disgusted of the kind of morals, or lack thereof, that is lingering around "people" as a whole--the constant bee in people's pants that make everyone be nasty to each other, or the bombardment of sex in media, lots of topics come to mind. He/she is asking to be sheltered, hidden away and unexposed to the nastiness of the world--the "mamma save me" line hints at this more than anything. A "fool in history" indicates how little he thinks of people's antics and amoral lifestyles--the way they live is like a self-inflicted lobotomy, so why should he/she let him/herself be infected by their way of life? A bit of nonconformist idealism coupled with conservatism, I think. | |
