Interpretations of the Lyrical Variety

As far as Cedric's ATD-I lyrics, I don't think they're supposed to be too meaningful. I think they're just meant to create vivid imagery, which they do well.

Cedric's Mars Volta lyrics (the ones from Frances the Mute at least, like your example) are a little more story telling. However, Frances the Mute is based off of people in a journal that Jeremy Ward (the member who died right before the release of De-Loused in the Comatorium) found in a car he was repo-ing. Ward apparently felt a strong connection with the journal's author, and I don't think these lyrics are ever capable of being interpereted until we the listeners get to see this journal. But for the sake of privacy, I respect them not releasing the journal to the public.
