This is not about Hitler or Nazis. The reference to gay sex and gypsies is entirely coincidental here. The song is a description of a nightmare (the first two lines sets the scene, and the music has a nightmarish tone), and by extension, it is a paean to those dark periods in our lives when we don't quite feel ourselves, or where we are just doing what we can to get by. At those times we can sometimes feel hollow and unreal, like we're just a shell of a human being rather than a full person, and that we're not really in control of our own lives. Moreover, while you're stuck in them, these times frequently feel nightmarish. The reference to 'shaky gums' and 'loose tooths' suggests this--the feeling of our teeth falling out is a common nightmare. The scenes Yoni sets are all indicative of this feeling: foolishly losing money to gypsies and being helpless to retrieve it, the embarrassment of being a non-consenting voyeur during a sexual tryst, viewing oneself as little more than a plant stuck in the ground, or pulled out by someone else.
