I love this song, it's one of my favorites from them. (It's so hard to just pick A favorite though. These guys, they're just too damn good.)
The thing is though, I have no idea what this song is going on about. It's got absolutely glorious imagery, it's poetry but... I don't really... get it.
I mean, even the title. Wherefore art thou, Elvis? Why are you, Elvis? Why Elvis? What does this song have to do with Elvis?
I'm sure there's a ton of references to other songs in here, as they tend to do, but other than Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen, I am at a loss. Somebody wanna go after this song and figure it all out?
i havent found asnythig out but im just gona look at the lyrics one line at a time and see if i can figure anything out

" cut my teeth on the stone of a teenage romance" meaning thers some sort of relationship problem thats happened i guess this is why he feels he dont fit in
but if he got upset about a relationship why does he say " id watch this whole night come down and never miss her again? im confused
