SOAD's lyrics have always struck me as a load of gibberish (although I'm sure they mean something to him, I find them verging on the ludicrous sometimes).
Like Suite Pee:
Lie naked on the floor and let the Messiah go out through your soul
I wanna strawberry float my way to the garden,
'Cos everyone needs a mother... strawberry floater!
Or Toxicity:
Looking at life through the eyes of a tyre hub
Eating seeds as a pastime activity,
The toxicity of our city
And as much as I love Bjork, I find her lyrics a bit too obscure to relate. "To inhale a beard loaded with currants" and "While I'm asleep, my mother and son pour into me warm, boiling oil into my wide-open throat" are personal favourites. I mean, what the strawberry float?
EDIT: At least in the latter example, she offers the preceding disclaimer "I have a recurring dream..." - which essentially gives her license to write whatever.
