I don't think that this song has anything to do with Osama Bin Laden or America's trials against the middle east. I think a few terms were taken too literally.
It's my belief that this song is based soley around drug addiction. Kind of breaking it down, it may make sense to go like this:
Escaping pain and giving it the slip is refering to percription drug use.
Ice cream grin is refering to a state of crack-cocaine drug use. Ice and ice cream are both slang for crack-cocaine.
Blonde afghan is not related to a person in Afghanistan, it is refering to hash most commonly made there. Hash or hashish is categorized as blonde, brown or black. Think they're suggesting its laced with heroin...would also make sense since Afghanistan is one of the top producers of heroin if not the number one.
Also I don't know the significance of almond trees but they are mainly grown in the US and came from asia...kind of doesn't make sense for the Osama theory...
Syrupy sun to me would be the use of nyquil, to avoid a cold...but for some people, another source of a high.
I think the Aztec gold part is refering to the search of the ultimate high and all you lose in the process of that and what you become.
Looking in someone's eyes to see the proof goes well with drug use too because its usually a dead give away if they're blood shot or dialated.
It wouldn't surprise me if I'm way off here, but I think I got atleast a few of the lines pegged down. Hope this helps!
On another note, M.O.F. has become one of my all time favorite bands, great music from some great guys. Don't have enough good things to say about their music.
I'd have to agree with a lot of what you said. I think that you've got a lot of the right ideas pinned down. This song is loaded with drug references that can be easily misinterpreted. The only thing I don't get is the identical twins bit, but I am leaning towards what danyule said because Conor has made the reference to being with women/a woman whom had two different personalities (i.e. in "ten women").
