Ida Maria – Keep Me Warm Lyrics 14 years ago
On the contrary, I don't think this song is about her finding someone she really loves. Part of a great relationship, to me, is the fighting. It means you care.

I think this is the story of a girl who's been in so many failed relationships that she no longer puts forth any effort. She doesn't care enough about this guy to "put on a show" for him. He just keeps her warm, and that's all she wants. She's as emotionally invested in him as she is in her coffee and cigs.

Phosphorescent – A Picture of Our Torn Up Praise Lyrics 15 years ago
I think this song is about that feeling you get when someone is moving on from a relationship you were both involved in, but youre still not. Outwardly, you might put on an ambivalent face and pretend you don't care. But if they wanted to come back to you, you know you would say yes.

Casiotone for the Painfully Alone – Roberta C. Lyrics 15 years ago
I love this song. I think it's about a lack of satisfaction in your own life. And the sense that you could be doing more with your time. Boredom and loneliness. General apathy. Blah blah blah.

I AM this girl.

Why? – Fatalist Palmistry Lyrics 15 years ago
I had no idea Yoni said that same line in a cLOUDDEAD song. It's one of my favorites.

But yeah, as far as re-occuring themes go, Alopecia is full of them. The baseball mitt, for example (possibly a metaphor derived from Catcher in the Rye?), comes up in at least three different Why? songs just on this album.

"When they come calling, I wont go calm.
There is no palm, or divine mitt
with which to hold one's pit
or separate the human race from its environment." -Gnashville

"Second caller gets bit by a dog or Jeff Dahmer,
kisses or stitches, no mitt for these pitches." -By Torpedo or Crohn's

"And now my sockets sit like empty catcher's mitts waiting.
And you ask me is there anybody else that I'm dating." -Fatalist Palmistry
