First of all, amazing album, so enjoyable. I haven't heard anything quite like it.
When listening to the first half of this album I get the sense that it follows the traditional sequence of family life, and all that means to those involved, but in reverse order:
Blackberry: Two people in love, coming together.
Ghost: I think this might be intercourse, or the desire to have a kid?
Kawaii: The birth of a child, and welcoming it into this world.
Feather: A farther expresses his memories of his child growing up, and desperately tries to understand and remain relevant to his child.
Heart Baby: Having to accept that you, as a parent, will fade, while your child will chart a path that you may not necessarily fully agree with.
Fly: The child, now adolescent, finally leaves their home. He has to, to give space to themself ("save my soul").
It's just a theory of course. There are plenty of aspects that still raise questions. But to be honest, for such songs, a little mystery is more than welcome.
