- Play "Dandelion" in reverse, and a richer melody will become evident. The "Dandelion" of the track is apparently a deep-sea creature, perhaps an anemone. Attempts to bring one to the surface resulted in its disintegration because of pressure changes. The narration describes attempts to make a device to bring one to the surface intact. [Oscar Bartos]
- (Speculation) The Five Iron Frenzy song Dandelions (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zTem-KQ4Jk) is surreptitiously about how motherfucker Keith Moon once played drums with a live goldfish in the bass toms (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPKGidTdyds) ("Dandelions in a vase... She sees love where anyone else would see weeds..."). The Mod movement is perhaps the "anyone else", where fur-trim parkas and foxtails hanged from Lambrettas were once appropros (http://www.peta.org/issues/companion-animal-issues/companion-animals-factsheets/animal-abuse-human-abuse-partners-crime/).
Samples / Lyrics

"When lava pours out near the sea surface, tremendous volcanic explosions sometimes occur. In time, submarine sea-mounts or islands are formed. When lava flows underwater, it behaves differently.

When lava pours out near the sea surface, tremendous volcanic explosions sometimes occur..."
- It's possible that the sample came from this documentary, Dive to the Edge of Creation.
