No idea what he's singing about. But I love the song. The opening is one of the most distinct I've ever heard. It really grabs your attention.

@MrLongrove Yes, it does. I'm fairly sure that the lyric is McCulloch's attempt to seem profound with his tenuous allusion to 'Subterranean Homesick Blues' with the 'brewing' and 'levels'. It's a nice confusing object without any objective nonetheless
