Lyrics
Arriving in boats, black hooded coats
Arrival in a mysterious manner, possibly with a sense of foreboding.
Tormentors climbed into my room
Unpleasant individuals entered the narrator's room, bringing torment.
I crawled under my bed, covered my head
The narrator sought refuge under the bed, attempting to hide from the tormentors.
But they're flushin' me out with a broom
Efforts to hide were futile as they were being forced out into the open.
The leader, she's small, pinned my ass to the wall
A female leader confronted the narrator, possibly with a threatening demeanor.
For my seeds or she'd be losin' her past
The leader demanded something valuable from the narrator, using a metaphorical reference to seeds.
Time after time, she'd be readin' my mind
Repeated instances of the leader trying to understand the narrator's thoughts.
But she never got the feelin' to last
The leader failed to establish a lasting connection or understanding.
Celebrate, celebrate, celebraid it
A call to celebrate, suggesting an ironic or sarcastic tone.
This is the critical mass

So far so good, I heard the other say
A positive remark, expressing a momentary satisfaction.
So good so far, they're takin' me away
An ominous statement about being taken away, implying a negative turn of events.
I drink to you, your mind, her ass

We'll take a drink and break the glass

Celebrate, celebrate, celebreak it

Now the tallest of two, with a brush full of blue
Introduction of another character engaged in surrealistic art.
Paints surrealist scenes on the wall
Description of surreal paintings on the wall.
So I tell her for fun, that it's really well done
The narrator compliments the art, but the artist is unresponsive.
But she just ain't listenin' at all
The artist points to the narrator's heart, suggesting self-reflection.
She points to my heart, tellin' me if I'm smart
Encouragement to be intelligent and self-aware.
I'll practice and phase
Sudden admission and screaming, indicating a realization or epiphany.
Out and admit, when the shoe doesn't fit
Yearning for love, expressed through repetition.
And I went screaming out down the hall

Need it

Need your love

Just then I heard a poundin' on the door

We're all here, sang the voice of twenty more
A collective presence of many, possibly overwhelming.
I drink to you alas, we'll take a drink and break the glass
Another toast and glass-breaking act, maintaining a celebratory theme.
Celebrate, celebrate, celebreak it

We are the critical mass
Emphasis on the collective identity as the critical mass.
Time and space, is takin' me away
