Lyric discussion by newsies234 

Cover art for The Soup lyrics by Regina Spektor

"The pictures had clear resolution in their minds" I think that's the lyric, not "the pictures as clear as an illusion."

The bank robbery is pretty obvious. What interests me is the soup. I mean, she starts and ends with the soup, but I cannot, for the life of me, figure out its relationship to the rest of the song.

Anyway, I love the way that she describes Buster as running until he's it. She takes this serious moment and relates it to playing tag. It's amazing.
