In the morning I pack up my gear
And toss it in my carryall
Run the wide load to the lip
And watch the big core crack and glow
In the evening I undo my belt
Split open and melt
I wake up on my stomach
With my face between my hands
And crawl along the floor toward the doorway
Jumping to my feet
I try to put myself together
But I feel it in my knees
And the room begins to spin
And I slip and bump my head and raise a welt
Split open and melt
We breathe deep
In a steam dream
And plunge below the water line
Down, down, down
Between beams
To the gloom room
Among the seaweed and the slime
Down, down, down
Melt
It's about hallucinations, images split open - then melt.
Also, about the bumbling actions of an individual lost in illusion
-possible NEW darker meaning in light of Anastasio's drug use, possibly implied at later performances though likely NOT the original meaning of the song:
