And sometimes you can enhance the experience of the song by not explaining it, especially when there's not much there to explain. Imagine Dylan at Newport "explaining." His songs can be brilliant, but when they're just weird we give him the benefit of the doubt for knowing what he's talking about, even if we can't figure it out.
