Or rather one interpretation...
I couldn't find any sources that made an explicit link except somehow I got onto the concept of "kamikaze sperm" and boom -- there is a narrative here! That panicky but "i can handle this" pace in music and lyrics (how could this happen, they found me with an army (the egg), you don't touch me.. beyond all reason, time etc etc). It all makes sense.
I love this song regardless and I'm not saying this has to be about a condom breaking or the guy stealthing, or the morning after pill or abortion or anything else super specific. Maybe it has nothing to do with kamikaze sperm and fertilization (one eye, one tooth - need one sperm to "bite in" and penetrate out of an army of thousands). It does fit well though, better than 9/11 (which had not happened yet) or actual kamikaze pilots and is no worse than psychological analogies to the latter. I'm not even saying this is the intended meaning - but it works at multiple levels and even if it's relatable only to some (or just me!) I'm excited, after so many years of listening and loving this song, to have uncovered a new narrative that fits the lyrics and the music both!! :))
@blackaliss could be also perspective of sperm of one man who gets there to find all these other "kamikaze" sperms there blocking its way. Less likely considering the perspective the narrative takes (found me, you can't touch me etc) fits the egg better.. I don't think it's necessary to take the part about kamikaze sperm so literally anyway - might've been a way to veil the nature of the army being mentioned , whilst making an indirect reference.
