Surgeon Lyrics

Agree with SirBlackSheep, but I think that when she says "Dressing and undressing for a wall", she refers of loneliness.

This song is about feeling depressed and lonely: I tell the mailman, "Never you mind, I'll sift through the piles" talks about wanting to be alone. The part of the mother: Obviously our mothers care for us and keep bothering, asking questions,etc. She refers to that, and states she has issues with her mom: If mother calls, she knows well we don't get along"

The chorus is basically she asking for help.
