Throughout the album there's a pretty steady stream of references to the writing process. I've always really enjoyed two particular lines in this song:
"And the city kids, the angry with-it kids, hate everything the first time"
I always took that as a bit of an f-you to the snobby indie music scene either not being willing to admit enjoyment of something until other people validate it or perhaps just the constant refrain of "The album becomes enjoyable upon multiple listenings," as if something worth enjoying has to be difficult to take.
I also love the line "The frequency is fine."
I take that line as affirming the songwriters own concerns about his product, saying it doesn't matter what other people think, he's producing what he is meant to produce.
