I definitely agree with Schwealdson...yeah, that person.

The fact that it starts out with that kind of weird, not stripsy self help introduction seems to set it up- and then moves to rather heavy rock and roll with a kind of sarcastic edge.

To me, it almost seems to say that the "acorn" analogy completely trivializes complex problems- because "the problems at hand are lighter than at heart." We're complex creatures.

@huambo- I immediately thought that the "cut up your hair/straighten your curls" line was a reference to youth- kind of the curly-headed cherubic image. I think this also adds to the sarcastic message that everything will be fine if you just get over yourself and stop being emotional. Maybe. I don't know.
