Well, I pretty much agree(d) with you before even reading your post. ;) (or rather, posting within the same few minutes!). "Confused biology from ear to ear" is a great line. Feels like he's talking about his tired brain. heh... |

Like anything it could definitely be about a relationship (which it probably is), but I relate to this song as being frustrated with all the crap behavioral mind patterns one still holds onto and plays over and over and over. Self karma. At least, it always seems to come up on my ipod while I'm on the bus going to therapy. lol. "YES. Man. This is -the- therapy song". ;P Wanting to go the easy way out or to be given something new, but all the melodies are all the same (years later). etc. |

... and it's very apt. heh. (but I can see the political meaning equally as well) |

| Well, all I know is that I had this stuck in my head last night while being sick for 3-4 hours with a stomach virus. ;P | |
| Andrew Bird – Tea and Thorazine Lyrics | 14 years ago |

Awesomely dark humored and derisive song. The instrumentals and echo effects after the second verse make it all the more atmospheric to what the lyrics describe; sounding like wails and moans bouncing off cold walls or the walls of one's skull for being kept in a place and full of thorazine or some other drug when it might not be necessary... wanting to escape, even if it can only be into your etch a sketch... 'Dr B' seems to be Clifford Beers, who was institutionalized and at his horror to the terrible maltreatment of patients smuggled out letters to state officials, and then later once de-institutionalized and after having written an autobiographical account formed the "National Committee for Mental Hygiene". Hmm. Oh what a dream life would seem for the shoddy directors... if it hadn't been for that Dr. B. Indeed. |
