its about change, and how time changes you whether you want it to or not. its about your present self and all your former selves, and about reclaiming what you once were. changing yourself for the better isnt the invention of a new self but returning to your own uncorrupted self, the self that's been in heaven ever since you decided to ignore it (and has been secretly plotting your demise)
I think the line dinosaurs roam the earth is the former uncorrupted self talking to the present one about never really letting you completely abandon your innocence even though you can never completely return. and that line and the one after the sky turns green where you end and i begin. seem to be taken from the song fog. ' theres a little child running 'round this house, and he never leaves... ...and the fog comes up from the sewers and glows in the dark... how did you go bad?'
I like what you're thinking. 'Where You End and I Begin' seems like it would be about two separate people, but it could just as well be about two selves in one person. The dinosaur: the former, genuine self abandoned (Where you, you left me alone, You left me alone) by this other different, present (perhaps dishonest: 'There will be no more lies') self. And the old dinosaur self has had enough and it's going to force itself across that 'gap' and eat the present one alive. Good shit man. Thanks for helping me think about this differently.
