The Faint - Your Retro Career Melted

Wow. This is probably my favorite track on the CD. Oddly, I found the chorus really grating at first, but it has since grown on me a little. The rest of the vocals, however, kick my ass so hard I can't really sit comfortably anymore.

Now that I think about it, it makes perfect sense now that I find the previous track so unmemorable--it's like kissing Clementine's little sister!

Can anyone give a clue as to wtf the lyrics are about?

I have since bought two of The Faint's albums, Danse Macabre and Wet from Birth, both of which I find dangerously delightful. It's like taking what I really like about Pretty Hate Machine and distilling it into, um, something distilled. I see that the Gazebo has previously mentioned these two albums in particular. I just listened to some samples on iTMS and bought what I couldn't not buy. I should listen to him more often...
