"Bees flew out and they flew up their skirts 'cause they wanted to travel the world"

Absolutely fing brillant imagery! He's thinking about sex, and traveling the world...thats the thought that feel out when he cracked open his head. Amazing metaphor. He's entertaining guests, probably in a bland and boring relationship.

This song is about holding in your thoughts and feelings until you go crazy.

The grand finale is the moment where they all come to fruition. Then he can do and say what he wants. That's true freedom. A fresh start, or blank slate.
