The song is obviously about how some poeple almost seem fake or untouchable untill they have fallen at some point.
I didn't know what you were made of
the colour of your blood, what you're afraid of
are you made of calcium or are you carbon-based
and if you're made of calcium i'll have to take a taste
cause, listen, calcium is deadly tender to the tooth
and it's one sure-fire way to know if you're
MX-missile-proof, oh no, or if you're just aloof
Organic, or living beings are carbon based where on the other hand minnerals are calcium based. So if you are made of carbon, then you are a living creatur. If you are made of calcium, you would actually be some kind of statue "proped up in the hardware store".
Some people? In a broad sense yes, I would agree it remarks on the stony nature of people who seem to live in their minds well above the rest of us lowly masses. But somehow I think there's a girl behind this. And maybe Mr. Bird would prefer to keep that secret for himself. God knows we all have things too intimate to share. C'mon though, you don't write a song like that about just anybody...
