Lobster: That's definately the symbology behind it.
Hmm... I don't know that I've ever heard this song, and if I have, it doesn't ring a bell.
The reason I clicked on the title is because it reminded me of a poem written by Tupac.... the Rapper? I'm not sure, so don't squish me if I'm wrong.
I don't like rap, really. The only rap I have considered enjoying is the stuff on Midnite Vultures by Beck (haha). Lemmie tell you the story of how I know this:
My boyfriend's brother was taking a class in literature of some sort, and one of his required reading was a book of poetry by Tupac. There was some interesting ideas and thoughts in there. One of the poems was "A Rose out of Concrete," and it was pretty good.
Man, I hope the Eels aren't stealing ideas.... It'd crush me all over again like when I found out that Santa Clause wasn't real or when Simon and Garfunkel often used recycled lyrical material.
Back to the song:
(keep in mind I don't remember having heard this song before) This might be a stretch, I don't know how symbolic The Eels get-- but sycamores are symbols of progress and life (Thanks, google).
The babies in strollers are innocent and nieve, no matter what race they are.
Airplane? This is a guess, but perhaps it symbolizes high dreams, if you catch my drift. The patterns "heart" or "pie" would be love and a home, etc., all those images attacted to that sorta stuff.
There. There's some thoughts. Do I over-analyze? You decide.
