i hadn't listened to 'cold roses' in a while so i popped it in the other day, then looking over the singles from the album, as 'easy plateau' was released as a single. i don't know how i didn't realize this, but if you look at the cover of the single, not only does it it have a religous symbolism (mary) but it also looks similar to the shape of a woman's vagana. similar to the symbolism in kings of leon's album 'aha shake heartbreak'. i see the escapism angle for sure that supposablethumbs suggests, but now i feel it also could have another, much more sexual meaning, especially these lyrics: "sleepyhead, come on let's take a ride to the easy plateau in the back of your mind. go up through the alley, take the door under the stairs, my head ain't filled with nothing but cats and rocking chairs..."
thinking about it, i really can see this as a much more complex and raunchy song about oral fixation.
