Need help solving a mystery 2

YouTube - Edie Brickell & New Bohemians - What I Am

Can any one tell what the hell this song means.
I have not watched this video in years and it still doesn't make a bit of sense.

I know what it means to me...every time I heard the song, I ran screaming from the room..... It bugged the crapola out of me..

'just be'

philosophy and religion are too 'deep' so choke her in the shallow water lol

what i am is what i am (she dont give a damn to figure it out)...very hippy/zen buddhist/taoist

it is what it is

stop over-analyzing!

 

[Cattusbabe]

OK. Got it. Peace out.

I do like the song, though.
Peaceout.
My favorite on that album (Shooting Rubberbands) is Circle.
I am also a fan of Little Miss S.
Music from high school!

As I remember the Bohemians picked Edie up as a singer because she could do these word association ditties to their tunes. It was catchy, and good enough to catch Paul Simon as a husband, so I guess it worked.

Personally, I like her stuff. Of course, I like Phish's lyrics too.
