The really great thing about Dan Bejar is that his lyrics are so layered that they seem to be about many things at once. This one is a perfect example. On one level it's about the music industry's, and consumers', fascination with passing fads. But that doesn't explain everything in the song. Exactly what, after all, does this have to do with sublimation? Bejar never leaves you fully satisfied with your understading of his work, the mark of a great artist!
