Vanessa Briscoe always said that Pylon's lyrics don't mean anything, it's the sounds and rhythm that matters.
But what's really odd about this song is how well it describes the bizarre symptoms of intracranial ependymoma (shaking hands, trouble walking because your feet rotate the wrong direction, balance problems described as "feeling like the ground is titled but it keeps changing the direction it's tilting"), which she was diagnosed with 14 years later.
In one of the other songs, she sings something like "I can dance if I want to. I can dance even when I don't want to." (The first line is in half their songs in some for or another, but the second one is pretty weird...)
I find it really hard to believe that someone could have this tumor, with symptoms occasionally flaring up, for a decade and a half before anyone discovered it, especially a woman who was under psychiatric treatment, and who was studying to be a nurse practitioner.
On the other hand, it's pretty hard to believe it's a coincidence.

So... what other possibilities are there?
