Lyric discussion by ataraxia37 

this song is about my friend naomi. the part about one billion lovers is so her.

Only you can interpret what the song says to your heart, but I think that the song is about a girl whom Jeff Mangum watches from a distance day after day. Her Prettiness seems to seep out from her while Jeff struggles with his thoughts of lust that make him feel empty and wretched. I also have a feeling that Naomi is a type of girl who attracts many men and is kind of promiscuous in a way. I feel that Jeff can see through her outer shell of circumstances to her true beauty.
