i'm not sure if i'm correct, but it sounds like the genius commits suicide in the lake. it is his secret... in the chorus it's like she's telling him to hold in his breath until he comes back out of the water in full. instead, i guess he lets it go and dies. she thinks he is a foolish child.

maybe he didn't value his life the way he should. the film crew and reporters come in to report what happened. and life goes on... like nothing happened... the kids wake up hung over, the garbage men etc. while the genius was maybe hoping something would come of his death. he was asleep "dreaming that the antidote was orgasm." i'm not really sure what that means, but i get the impression he had romanticized suicide somehow. he had made a mistake, but it was too late. he hadn't thought it through... a foolish child.

I like that idea. And "Orgasm" Could just mean the "climax" which would then mean the end... as it would be the best solution was found in suicide for him.

i agree with the suicide part, but how i thought of the orgasm, "dreaming that the antidote was orgasm".... it reminded of of somthing like a wet dream, n then it kinda made sense, seeing that he has gone to an "eternal sleep" so to speak, and him being in the lake and all would account for the wet part.

but the orgasm representing the climax seems like a good enough answer to me though :P
