The Party Lyrics

All of this song, to me, reminds me of what anxiety is like, especially when you're thrown into a social situation. The slow, slurred delivery seems like her trying to spit out her scattered thoughts as well as she can, and the feeling of sitting "transfixed by a hole in your t-shirt Oh I've said much too much and they're trying to sweep up" just seems to emulate that lack of confidence from doing little mistakes. Maybe I'm just crazy haha.
