I have no idea what this song is about. I don’t care. I don’t want to know. Kinda like I don’t want to know what Bob Dylan really meant in “Gates of Eden.” Or why Liz Phair wrote “Black Market White Baby Dealer.”
Sometimes, I just don’t want to know why.
Do you get that way? Does it even make sense when Matt Berninger sings “Vanderlyle, cry baby cry” or “I’ll explain everything to the geeks”? Sure, you could Google it. I’ll give you that. That’s easy.
But, that’s besides the point. The point, in my opinion, is soaking up the beauty of today’s PJOTD without having to think. Don’t think. It’s more beautiful that way, I promise.
