Lyric discussion by Gladiuse 

It's a simple fairy tale. The pack are children bundled up in clothes and who have scarves that keep their heads tied to their necks, like a knot. Think of that one Edgar Allan Poe story of the girl in the French revolution. The singer has to keep watch over them so that they don't lose their heads. He gets distracted and Michael falls, losing his scarf, and his head falls off. It's a fantasy fairy tale. It's that simple.

I like this idea. This is such a dreaming kind of song, and these guys seem to sing about such peculiar, fanciful things... so something as whimsical as loose heads kind of makes sense. And if you put it all down to being a fairy tale, it doesn't seem so macabre anymore.
