Cover art for So Begins Our Alabee lyrics by of Montreal

This song seems to be about his new fatherhood. I think the odessy might alabee's life or kevin's life as a father.

If the chyrsallis is breaking, he's evolving to another stage, and the super-ego represents the moral part of the mind (which is being activated).

Basically, it seems like his life was sad and not so good, but now he's glad to have her in his life and he doesn't want to let her down.
