k0s don't you feel that there is an undertone of unbalance in the song. He may be talking about the aesthetics to build a good life, as you say, but that in and of itself is extreme. The idea of every little detail of your existence needing to fit a perfected ideal doesn't seem healthy. To rigidly pick your cloths/interior decor/friends etc, to match guidelines then you need to loosen up. To be that obsessed with detail leans strongly toward OCD. Whether the whole cd is of mental illness is irrelevant, the lyrics to this song depict an individual that is seriously tightly wound.
