i think its about people and not bieng able to see whats inside of them. frank black starts at an extreme, incest. you look at the family and you dont see who they are and what theyre doing when people arent around. they look normal, but theyre broken and damaged. then, on a less extreme, you have a man " there was this man who snapped his brain in little pieces." who has mental issues, depression, insanity, something. and though you can try to "put em back in there" and fix it, you cant. kind of like the old rhyme about humptey dumptey who couldnt go back together again. but you cant see any of this. then an even less extreme, the girl. by just looking at her you'd say "isnt she lovely". but when you get to know her you find out that she doesnt speak english and is stuck doing laundry for pay.
