"The fact that the woman singing is Annie Clark has just blown my mind..." How did I not know she guests on this album! She also plays the electric guitar in Sax Rohmer 1

The metaphor makes sense because an autoclave is something that essentially nothing is capable of surviving on because it's so sterile, but in the comics that John released explaining the lyrics of each song on the album, the song was inspired by the discovery of a small lifeform that did survive on an autoclave and wasn't harmful. So in a sense, the song takes you to the bottom, but still retains some sense of hope.

see, I like this song, but "my heart's an autoclave" is a really bizarre metaphor.

I really like the contrast between the 2nd verse my home her home and the last, her home my home. An important shift in mindset, I feel.
