| Pixies – Caribou Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I think you're mostly right, but I think you're reading too much into the details. The narrator is basically saying "fuck this" and just wants to escape the existence that has caused him so much pain, because to be human is to suffer. The gritty details of life? All meaningless. He's literally howling for escape from his human form. I also detect a strong vein of guilt in this song - he desperately wants to repent, as if to pull himself out of a profound spiral of shame. | |
