Latin Roots Lyrics

I think this song illustrates Guy's best talent: filtering a song about emotions through a song about politics. He does it in "Do You Like Me?" as well as "Margin Walker." Portions of the song suggest it's about losing one's virginity, but then that motif is contrasted with a discussion of roots and origin. Thus, I think the metaphor suggests losing one's innocence in realizing that roots set people apart from one another.

@hinthint Agreed. I wholeheartedly endorse this interpretation.
