"The album opens with ‘'Making Weight’‘, which gives a general overview of my medical condition over the last 10 years and briefly touches on the support I’ve received from my parents, particularly my mother, in times of dependence. It closes out with the statement “I was embarrassed to speak up because a ‘man’ should be able to take care of himself, I shouldn’t need medication to make it through the day”. This introduces the theme of adult guilt which recurs throughout the record."
