Perhaps a nice segue from this would be Kiss that Frog by Peter Gabriel. Completely different uh, frog, but interesting nonetheless.

Since frogs can't speak to us of their problems of survival, it takes a creative mind to do so. Did he make you think about the destruction of the world's rainforests? If yes, then he has met his goal. If not, it probably wouldn't matter anyway. Some minds cannot be reached. |

And speaking of metaphor, the "kiss" is almost certainly a metaphor for "saving the rainforest". You're reading too much into a single line of the song at the expense of every other line of the song, which is an unambiguous lament about deforestation and the extinction of its native species. It's painfully clear.
<shrug> We'll have to differ on interpretations. To me this is a fun song about a guy trying to get off. To you and other it's an environmental protest. Short of in-depth textual analysis, or interrogating the songwriter, we'll never know. |

A discussion about lyrics and environmental politics aside... It appears that I'm not alone in thinking that this guy sounds like Jim Morrison. Probably without the heroin, though.
