Lyric discussion by juan_the_owl 

Who could possibly decipher the stream of consciousness that flows from the mouth of Jeff Mangum? i have no idea what this song means, but it blows me away. it is such a powerful song in 2 movements. Jeff Mangum takes the ugly and makes it beautiful in an ugly way. there's a lot of talk of semen, death and reincarnation. but without a doubt, Neutral Milk Hotel is one of the most interesting and innovative bands I've ever heard.

I couldn't have said it better myself.
