I think Jon’s talk about the skulls and bodies of roadkill really put a different image of what their song Tin (the manhole) even is. That, and in a broader sense, Jon’s early songwriting about body parts and biology mixed with more supernatural elements. That whole section of Jon’s childhood accidentally served as a thesis statement to the his early years, at least lyrically.
