The first verse, with all the stuff about the Spanish settlers, reminds me
of Imaginos.  Similarly, Perfect Water on CN reminded me of Imaginos - a
song about being beneath the water, just as Imaginos is left on the
oysterbeds...  I don't think there really is meant to be a connection, but
I suspect that whole Imaginos mythology has planted the germs of a few
ideas.
