Cover art for All Up the Seething Coast lyrics by Mountain Goats, The

the whole album is a concept album about his earlier life living in chino. he and his friends were all heavily addicted to meth, which is probably the most frighteningly disgusting drug on earth. anyways, meth is an anorexant, meaning that after a while, the user no longer craves food. the meth will cure hunger. this song is simply a way of saying that his addiction had reached its highest point. throuhgout the whole song he's talking about ways to get himself to eat. "writes reminders on his skin. clips out pictures from magazines and hangs them on the wall"

i think that these lyrics are some of the most wonderfully written lyrics I've ever read.
