Eels – My Beloved Monster Lyrics 3 years ago
To me this song has always been about an inner self, a feeling that inside of me is some kind of monster who others would not understand, but who is part of me and whom I myself still like, I dont want to loose this part of me even though its kind of monster.
I think "raincoat that has four sleeves" is the line which most supports my version. You wouldnt be in the same raincoat with your girlfriend. It's only you in that raincoat.
My interpretation is basically the same as "Gandalf the Pink's", who is just saying that the inner monster, the song is written about, was E's sister's. Could be.
