Lyric discussion by Driftwood Girl 

Cover art for At the Hop lyrics by Devendra Banhart

Someone he loves is leaving for good. He's desperate to remain close somehow, to be remembered. "Put me in your suitcase"... I used to daydream of stuffing myself on a suitcase and sending myself to the man I loved (he lived far). He's pleading to be remembered, to continue being part of that person's world - by "dry dreams" (as a friend) or "wet dreams, if you haven't yet" (in a sexual way, but he isn't sure if that person ever thought of him in that way). I can't think of the other symbols.
