I don't believe that its absolutely clear that he's a human reincarnated from a caribou, though. It sounds more like he's lamenting his lack of caribou-ness, not reliving some former life glory as a caribou. But it could be either I suppose, I could be wrong, it happened once before. |

I think people are on the right track about his lamenting a soulless human form and hoping for some kind of like pastoral purity. This song always reminds me of drugs for some reason. I know it's almost certainly not about drugs, but it always gives me eerie opiate chills- which I love. I'm not sure about werewolves, but I could see reincarnation. Maybe like metaphorical reincarnation during his life though. That could be pretentious nonsense, but that's how it feels to me. |
