Lyric discussion by BoyNamedSue74 

Cover art for Deathly lyrics by Aimee Mann

T. A. has said that Aimee Manns songs was what inspired him to do Magnolia and that the words " Now that I've met you would you object to never seeing each other again" was what he built the Claudia character on. I think this is a deeply depressed and scared/scarred person's feelings of the possibilty of a new relationship, no matter who the other is.
