I think that this album is completely beautiful, and at the same time is really sad.
I'm sure you're all aware of the pain E has suffered with his mum dying of cancer and his sister committing suicide. I just think he is an amazing person and I can imagine writing such songs about these 'events' may act as a release to him and possibly allow him to fully express his feelings.
I am in no doubt that this song is about Elizabeth (his sister) and how he's reliving the past with her memories.
"Want a pony and a birthday cake
Want a party with a scary clown"
I believe is about how he longs for things to be like they were as children, when everything seem fine.
"And I looked up at the sky last night
And I thought I saw a bomb"
I think this is about how he could see this happening beforehand. When he life may have seemed so good (for him), his mother had cancer, and sister had mental issues. These lyrics convey how he can see this effecting his life in the future.
"Life is funny
But not ha ha funny"
Such amazingly true lyrics. I believe E is trying to say, life throws a lot at people, including nasty suprises. How we deal with things makes us the people we are.
I love this band
p.s. I don't mind if you don't agree with me, because these are ONLY MY OPINIONS!!
OK?
I do mind though, if you feel the need to post an abusive comment about my opinions.
