Cover art for Love in the Time of Human Papillomavirus lyrics by AJJ

my favorite from the new album. beautiful, disarming song. i see it as being sung to a somewhat unsatisfactory girlfriend by sean about his sense that whatever death has to offer is probably better than this. even the title seems to be conveying this, by juxtaposing the beauty and pureness of love to the stigma we've attached to the hilariously-named human papillomavirus.

one thing i should probably make clear before i do anymore songs is that i interpret sean to be, while not quite suicidal, of the opinion that being alive is probably not worth all the hassle. i have no idea if this is actually true since i've never met or spoken to him (though i'd love to) but that's the perspective i'm looking at all this from. if it's wrong, then i'm wrong. simple.
