Metaphor for Metamorphosis

from The Ides of Spring by Luna Moth

lyrics

My heart's sitting at the side of the road, and oh I gotta get it back you know before it explodes all over everything I love and everybody I know until the neighborhood is covered up with blood from the blow.

My brain's rolling up the side of a hill until it finds itself a spot to watch the world go to hell,
well I yell for it to come and get back into my head, but it runs away and jumps into the gutter instead, I said.

Belle, believe I'm laughing all the way to the banks of floods.
I will sing until the world's indifferent and I will scream until my lungs are filled with blood.

My tongue's hanging from a telephone pole, It's got a staple through the center to be certain it holds above a city full of people who will never get old because the music is their medicine, religion, and gold.

My soul's surfing on the crest of a wave and man, it looks as though it's been awhile since he has shaved, and well I yell for him to come and get back into my chest, but he flies away and falls into a dumpster instead, I said.

Well the old man says I'm drinking way too much, well I don't think so-I can still remember every single day.
Well take me to the liq, you know I ned something sweet to help me chase my blues and my clichés away...

Well that old trash fairy hit the road, finally found herself a way..
Well that wretched cherub hit the road, finally found himself a face.

Well I turned green as soon as I got free, grew some leaves and limbs, died as soon as wintertime decide but oh, when spring arrived, I was alive again!
