Astronautalis – Midday Moon Lyrics 13 years ago
At a show, Astronautalis claimed that this song was about cryogenic-freezing your dead lover. He also said that this was a bad idea, and that it was inspired by a true story of somebody who did just that. Obviously he could be leading us on, but it sounds like that explanation fits pretty well.

All his songs and explanations are like that for me. At first they seemed totally surreal and weird to me, but then once he announced the meaning on stage I thought "oooooooh that makes so much sense now!"
