One of my favorites of theirs. And I agree with leonperkin. I love the part about the dragonfly and how she found so much beauty in it, beauty she could never create with a computer. Does anyone else notice how Grandaddy focuses so much of their lyrics on the evils of technology and modernism, yet their music uses synthesizers and most songs have a futuristic feel to them? I'm sure they did that one purpose, but it's pretty cool, eh?

Song Meaning

As I've said in another comment here, one of the things I like about Grandaddy is the way that often, not just the lyrics but the instrumentation (the instrument 'voices') suggest this world of grungy, "broken" or "failed" technology (most obviously in "Broken Household Appliance National Forest")
