Lyric discussion by fugazi 

WOW. Does no one seriously get this? I'm not claiming to absolutely know what this song is about, but here's a wild guess: a random, trashy girl has sex with a man living a shit hole of a home with his family. She's insignificant, it seems, and their reltionship is purely sex out of desperation. I imagine he's older and disgusting and she's this 'bright, bubbly thing'.

"Your father made fetuses With flesh licking ladies While you and your mother Were asleep in the trailer park Thunderous sparks from the dark of the stadiums The music and medicine you needed for comforting So make all your fat fleshy fingers to moving And pluck all your silly strings And bend all your notes for me Soft silly music is meaningful magical The movements were beautiful All in your ovaries All of them milking with green fleshy flowers While powerful pistons were sugary sweet machines Smelling of semen all under the garden Was all you were needing when you still believed in me "

The relaltionship is purely sexual trash. Perhaps the relationship broke off, hence 'when yous till believed in me' - when they're having the affair. The man is probably intensely obsessed with her, his sexual energy totally focused on this young girl. He wishes he could be with her 'save her in a time machine'.

Again, she's insignificant, 'buried with...500 families'. She's trash, just a person. But their primal, sexual connection left them together.

The Goldaline lines seem to be about Siamese twins, but perhaps his infatuation with her is maternal as well. It's almost Freud-like, a sexual, phallic obsession. The semen, the ovaries. It's so primal and natural. Impregnation, being a twin (being together forever [Siamese]), an affair in a bored marriage, obsession, a revival of youthful sexual hormones, 'know who your enemies are' (she has moved on from their affair). etc. more later.

Wow! That is the most asinine thing I have ever heard. "siamese twins"... Really? Who even says that anymore. Rethink your terminology. Your rhetoric is not only crass, its inaccurate. What? "is Freud-Like." Do you even know what a Phallus is. Because none of those things you describe in reference to "phallic obsession" seem to resemble a Phallus in any way... Look it up... And leave Freud out of it. Why is it that every time someone uses the man's name it is always followed by a reference to cocks and the word "Maternal"...

in fugazi's defence... most of Freud's work IS about dicks and ma's. I hadn't picked up all of the anne frank stuff until reading it here. I'd heard some of it obviously but didn't realise the volume of it. I think Fugazi's interpretation is correct but I don't think this song has one particular meaning.
