This is my favourite song on the CD. I can appreciate both stances on its meaning, and in fact enjoy it as both. On the one hand it's a song about simply aluminum foil, and it's cleverly done. If you want to look deeper it's a metaphor for a girl, and in this way it's a truly superb symbolism that BNL uses on this song. That it makes sense as the simple "foil and nothing else" interpretation, and also as a metaphor for a girl is excellent, IMO.
