"Enema" is a term for an anal cleansing (lawl). If California was to be flushed away, America would be cleansed. Get it? "Anima" is a Jungian term, from Carl Jung's theories and studies (which are well-expressed in "Forty Six & 2"). There are several references in the song to a physical destruction of California (fault lines that cannot sit still, meteor showers, floods). Towards the end of the song, the "Mom" that the band refers to is Mother Nature. By the way, I'm pretty sure Maynard wouldn't actually be happy about the entire state of California being destroyed. It's aspects of California. The song has a mix of figurative and literal implication. The whole idea of this song basically came from Bill Hick's comedic album "Arizona Bay." The entire "Aenima" album is dedicated to Bill. Look him up.
