...this song is amazing- especially the way it just goes in, out, then into My Way Home...its just funky as hell. It seems like one of those very strange songs that probably means something different to everyone... Pablo Picasso was one of the innovators of surrealism and was known for his creations of fantasy...to me the song is like a metaphor for someone who becomes one with and falls in love with their work and will stop at nothing to protect it... or the feeling of his work losing integrity as the artist gains fame. Cope seems to be dealing with these same themes throughout this album. Or maybe there isn't a more serious meaning underneath and its just a kick-ass song w/ strange lyrics....
I love this interpretation. Though, in love with a billboard was my first thought, I think I prefer this one based on the title, that the man might actually be famous but poor enough to beg, have a family...
