Airplane is flyin up in the sky makin a pattern with the white lines looks like a heart or maybe a pie Rather a stretch here, but I think the symbols in the sky refer to love or sex. I don't know if the daisy is a metaphor for a girl, or a dream. Maybe some confusion as to feelings for this girl (if it is a girl). Or just generalized dreams of want (if it's a dream). My interpretation. 1

A daisy through concrete I believe is a symbol for something beautiful coming from a rough start or a rough background.

Nice call on the Hollywood Freaks. ;) By the way, nice analysis, and you should definitely give this song a listen, one of Eels' best by dar.

Lobster: That's definately the symbology behind it. Hmm... I don't know that I've ever heard this song, and if I have, it doesn't ring a bell. The reason I clicked on the title is because it reminded me of a poem written by Tupac.... the Rapper? I'm not sure, so don't squish me if I'm wrong. I don't like rap, really. The only rap I have *considered* enjoying is the stuff on Midnite Vultures by Beck (haha). Lemmie tell you the story of how I know this: My boyfriend's brother was taking a class in literature of some sort, and one of his required reading was a book of poetry by Tupac. There was some interesting ideas and thoughts in there. One of the poems was "A Rose out of Concrete," and it was pretty good. Man, I hope the Eels aren't stealing ideas.... It'd crush me all over again like when I found out that Santa Clause wasn't real or when Simon and Garfunkel often used recycled lyrical material. Back to the song: (keep in mind I don't remember having heard this song before) This might be a stretch, I don't know how symbolic The Eels get-- but sycamores are symbols of progress and life (Thanks, google). The babies in strollers are innocent and nieve, no matter what race they are. Airplane? This is a guess, but perhaps it symbolizes high dreams, if you catch my drift. The patterns "heart" or "pie" would be love and a home, etc., all those images attacted to that sorta stuff. There. There's some thoughts. Do I over-analyze? You decide. As always, peace.
