I remember using the lyrics for this song as an example of alliteration in my sixth grade class. I figured the lyrics must have something to do with drug addiction or just being on a medication. The line about mean theft is intriguing to me because it makes me think of the critics who talk about anti-depressants and ADD medications robbing people of their spontaneity and creativity. I'm not sure that's what it's implying, but it's an interesting thought.
I'm not sure what 'paint pastel princess' means, but it makes me think of him personifying his depression as something to be adored. The medication he was on could have had some adverse side effects that were hard to adjust to and he could have found some inspiration and solace in his depression, despite wanting to treat it.
