5 people saying THIS SONG RULEZ #1 FTW is the same thing as not commenting at all. This forum is to try to make sense out of the wicked poetry that gives meaning to the brilliance of BTBM's masterpiece album.
The first time I heard this album I thought it was a parable of an abandoned species in a cold world struggling for meaning and advancement with no easy answers. All Bodies is a clueless lament to higher forces, Selkies is the creation of easy gods and "the rain song" the emergance of environmental problems in the face of humanism.
A closer look at the lyrics breaks down that idea (that's what this website is for, right?) But I still like this song's proud desperation against existential uncertainty.
