this song is very hard to "decode" since no one else has made any attempt I feel brave enough to try.
It's hard to tell if the writer is directing this at him self or his college aged audience. It seems like this band writes music that could cross the boundaries of time and the first lines in this one allude to that fact:
On some mentioning of thoughts of mid twenties tangent plots (stories from the nineteen twenties)
Those sad feathery talks that float in on all that
Tattered teenage applause clapped out further with no pause
On collegiate palms of course their hands so soft (talking about the young crowd possibly drowning out the music's meaning by being kids)
Ancient postures of awe for low level modern shocks
Now happening a lot like any synaptic (what was shocking in the twenties is just eh now days)
Cavalry's typical barrage on your tired soul (and it happens like a rain storm on your soul)
You can not shrug it off, just start your inconsequential white withdrawal
Cautious sticks stuck in fictitious craws capsized on your chatty shores (I want to say this alludes to pills/medication I spent alot of time on it and can't imagine it's real meaning.)
Half deaf, half seem worse yet you still keep talking (most audience don't get the half of the message)
In between coughing fits and soon to be heimliched bits
Of Ideas which you could not yet digest (can't understand the meaning.)
damn these lyrics are mind boggling. hope some one else posts eventually
