"then I fell in love with identical twins They lived 34 summers between the two of them I gave one my ego, I gave one my id Yeah, I gotta get back to my pretty little twins"

the ego, is your basic personality, and a combination of your id and superego. the id, is your raw animalistic desires. if these identical twins lived 34 summers between the two of them they'd both be 17 and a half. i doubt they are of any interest to conor oberst.

but this could mean, he fell in love with a gemini, the symbol for a gemini is the twins this would make more sense . and gemini's are said to have split personalities so maybe he gave one of the gemini personalities his "ego" or his basic personality and gave the other part of the gemini girls personality his "id" or his raw sexual desires.
