I Lyrics
We're keeping busy, yeah, we're bleeding stones
With our machinations and our palindromes
Anything but hear a voice that says we're basically alone
With our machinations and our palindromes
Anything but hear a voice that says we're basically alone

i think this song is saying how we try to occupy ourselves throughout our lives to escape the grim truth that "we're basically alone" in this life, emphasized by this song's title - "I"
i want to commit a crime to this song
i oddly feel the same way haha

Kinda sad if you think about it =^(
This is a really good, hardcore distillation of Imitosis.

Check out youtube for Sesame Street's "We All Live In a Capital I" to see the inspiration for this song. When Sesame Street declined to allow Mr. Bird use of the lyrics, he changed it up to "we're all basically alone" and developed the haunting "Imitosis."
Chops straight to the point.
