I think all of these are interesting interpretations. But when it comes down to it, whether it's a candle, or a wick, or a jewel prong or whatever, the "Broken Crowns" appear on almost EVERY page of the CD booklet, and they are all different. Yet they are all missing that 5th piece. Clearly, Roi.

    I'm pretty sure the songs that have the broken crowns are the four that Roi heard before he passed: Funny, LITHOG, Why I Am, and Seven. Dave mentioned in the RS interview that Roi only heard four of the songs, and those four make sense based on the evidence... the crowns obviously represent "the king."

    ok found some:

    there is a snake in a woodpile: Why I Am
    that bear is from: Dive In
    the lyrics tatood on that girl are: Spaceman
    i think the horses in the water represent going down to the shore side in : Dive in
    the butterflies are from: Lying in the hands of god
    the naked people show how alike we all are: Squirm
    the gun is a gun, not a shotgun, its also from: Squirm
    and there was a song that made me think that boy in the top right was flying...

    Although probably very unlikely, it would be cool if those hieroglyphics were a code or clue about a possible EP.

    Dave mentioned there was an upside-down boob (next to the lobster claw) in the radio interview with Matt.

    The dead fish represents FTWII - "The way your mouth feels from a lover's kiss - like a pretty bird in the breeze, or like water to the fish"

    Meaning - you either dream about it and be happy about it, or it's something you have to have to survive. Ying and Yang.

    There's a gun pointed at some guys head.
    This is the lyric in Squirm. I actually heard it while reading this post.

    Also, Le Roi in french means Sun King. In the fuse interviews part 4, they spoke about when some one would call Roi 'Leroy' he would say “Its not with a Y its with an I, like the king.”

    When I saw the Alien on the balcony, I was thinking about Time Bomb ("if martians fell from the sky, what would that do to God?") not Spaceman. Anyone else?
