I think your right on. Though I don't think any of the songs have any definite meaning, just a feeling.

My Opinion

Totally agree... I like how Homme's lyrics tend to be specific in their imagery/play on words, but at the same time are so specific that they're obviously not literal at times, so you have to zoom out, and when you do that, the range of possible meanings is nearly endless
