The Mermaid Parade Lyrics

I read an interview with Matthew and he was talking about this song, and I kinda got the impression that it was just a good story (link to interview: http://blogs.villagevoice.com/music/archives/2010/05/phosphorescents.php)

But then I read a few old interviews which made me think that it's most likely autobiographic (at least some of it) with him having lived in LA, where he was seeing a girl, and then moved to New York: http://gothamist.com/2007/11/07/matthew_houck_p.php http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:CtOMe2D7q7wJ:www.theredalert.com/features/phosphorescent.php+phosphorescent+interview+los+angeles&cd=2&hl=da&ct=clnk&gl=dk&client=firefox-a

Just some useless info, it's a great song no matter what :)
