| I may be crazy, but this seems like yet another reference to "Eternal Sunshine". It seems very much like how Clementine reacted to Joel after the 'memory wipe'. (Albeit a bit more polite.) | |

The song title, and the lyrics, are another reference to the movie, "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind". It's possible that the entire song is based off this movie (I'm very convinced that there is a sense of continuity throughout the album, so it's possible), much like Meet Me In Montauk. I'm not the greatest at analyzing song lyrics themselves, so I'll avoid making an ass of myself and just leave it at that. The quote that's referenced in the movie, by Alexander Pope, is: "How happy is the blameless Vestals lot! The world forgetting, by the world forgot; Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! Each prayer accepted, and each wish resigned." Anybody who feels like adding line-by-line commentary would be much appreciated, as I'm sure that would help many people out. |
