This album reads as a drama, with a more or less continuous story. If you want to understand one song's lyrics, it is advisable to read them all. Without ranting too much about what I think the songs mean, I will at least say that what strikes me about the album is that the feelings arise so naturally from the lyrics. You can see inside the characters' minds and understand their feelings without anything more than subtle words and cues to go by. To me, these are not lyrics; they are poetry.
