If you read E's autobiography 'Things the Grandchildren Should Know', this is one of the songs where he explains exactly what this song means. I didn't think the book was going to be that interesting, but I was leant a copy from a die-hard EELs fan when I had only listened to the Souljacker album, and now I'm a huge fan of both the book and all the album, he's truly a genius and the emotions in all his songs are very justified considering some of the amazing and horrific things he's been through.
