It's about how people suck the magic and mystery out of songs by defining their meanings: violins and tambourines, and this is what we think they mean.

What's the point in creating art if people are just going to come along and say, "it means this?" Might as well send a man to bury us.

The last of the unplucked gems? It was, until I came along and said, "it means this."
