It was pre-war Nazi Germany and I was an orphan trying to protect a younger orphan from the beatings of the male orphans. Worst dream ever.

"In an interview given subsequent to the release of Aeroplane, Mangum spoke about how deeply Anne Frank’s The Diary of a Young Girl had influenced the record. He explained that upon reading the book for the first time, he found himself completely overwhelmed with sadness and grief. Mangum’s honesty was translated directly to his music, which turned out to be a source of great power."

that was from the inter-web, so take it for what it is.
