thom really doesnot know what all hisa songs eeven mean. his lyrics are typically used becasue he like the way they sound with the music, which gives them room to be interpereted any one like. that said i believe he is addressing all of his fears and paranioa in this song. He is worried about the violence that he experienced and he is also worried about the responsibilities and dangers that he faces with being a parent, so he tries his best to keep these fears in the form of a wolf away. But in typical Yorkwe fashion he cannot escape his fears cause the call him up on the phone to keep their hold on him anyway, leaving him powerless and trying to convince him self that they do not exist by repeating nonononono to himself.

@fatboyinawagon can you link me to an interview or something where he said that about the lyrics?

@fatboyinawagon This sounds pretty reasonable but what does he mean when he says "flan in the face" over and over and "get the eggs"? When I heard it I thought it was about a drug deal gone wrong sort of, or a break in of a drug dealer or something. So I thought they said "get the x" meaning ecstasy pills. But then I thought wait wtf does flan in the face mean.

@fatboyinawagon 'Flan in the face' in a poetic description of the feeling of shame, being mocked, or being let or put down. It's ironically savoury, and humiliating.
