the song is not called eskimo friend but "eskimo".. and it is about damien not being able to write a song..

he was in a big chateau in the south of France with Juniper and was given 3 days to write songs.

on the third day he got really mad coz he wrote stuff that wasnt good.. it didnt come from the soul..
he got frustrated and whacked his guitar against the wall..
everything about the situation went out of his head - he was shocked at what the damage to his friends' guitar was.

so he picked up the guitar.... and ten minutes later Eskimo was packaged

this is not my interpretation but his words in my words.

if you want to know more about 'O' and its creation i suggest you look in the interview section...

when i'm listening to a song i'd rather interpret it in my life than figure out what it actually means...
