We love our tradiges
We're both broken in our own little ways
We're broken, but we fit together just right
You know I saw the black inside your eyes
I saw they were eclipsed by mine...and they looked just right

when our lights meet, will you know me then
And will you want to know it?
It feels like I've known you for so long
When our lights meet, will you want me then
And will you ever know it?
It seems like you've know me for so long

I love your analogies
We're both crazy in our own little ways
We talk about the future and our past lives
I know I loved you then, I know I'd love you know
I know I'll love you then...i know I love you now

when our lights meet, will you know me then
And will you want to know it?
It feels like I've known you for so long
When our lights meet, will you want me then
And will you ever know it?
It seems like you've know me for so long
It seems like I've known you for so long
You can't have everything you want when you want it
I will be everything you want when you want it
Wait for me, trust for me, fall for me
Even when you don't know you're falling for me
Will you fall for it, if it should it'll come around again
But don't wait for me and don't trust in me, don't fall for me
Even when you know you're falling for me

when our lights meet, will you know me then
And will you want to know it?
It feels like I've known you for so long
When our lights meet, will you want me then
And will you ever know it?
It seems like you've know me for so long
When our hearts meet, will we make it then
Will we even notice that they are eclipsed

    This is one my favorite songs on the cd. Anyway, here goes my interpretation. To me it's saying that these two people like each other & it seems like they both have so much in common. However, the girl doesn't seem to be ready for a relationship.."..when our lights meet, will you know me then, and will you want to know it?" When it's talking about "lights" meeting, it's referring to the girl being ready for a relationship. Towards the end of the song where it says "but don't fall for me and don't trust in me, don't fall for me even when you don't know you're falling for me" I think thats from the girl's point of view. She doesn't seem like she trusts people at all. Bleh..thats all I've got. =/

Love in a Vacuum
'Til Tuesday
Well, in my opinion this song is about being a young & maybe a little naive &/or introverted girl and finding yourself loving a man who is at first very charming, carefree & outgoing, and seems at first to be without limits, as in "There was a time you opened up every doorway you didn't mind if everything wasn't your way" then that man starts to gradually become more introverted & shows their more possessive/obsessive side to you as the relationship progresses, even while they keep up the appearance of being carefree & outgoing to everyone else, "Don't pull away that goes against what you told me I look in your eyes I realize what you've sold me is love in a vacuum" so you confront them about the way they're acting and of course they deny it, "I think you've changed but you insist that that's not true" quite possibly they are an addict of some sort, my guess would be cocaine, &/or showing very obsessive behavior towards you (early on in the video for this song we see the man hanging a picture up, it is a very large portrait of Aimee & it is prominently displayed in his/their apartment for the duration of the song), thus their "love in a vacuum", "You look so strange, so distant that you're hardly you Now I can see how you have been acting different You say it's me but I know that it isn't it's love in a vacuum" but still you are in love with them and don't want to leave them and you know that they are truly in love with you and they don't want you to leave them either, maybe they are convinced you can save them from themself, maybe they are so broken that the possibility of an overdose &/or suicide attempt is very real and you want to get through to them that their behavior not only dangerous but it is also just pissing you off and if they don't wise up they run the risk of loosing you, as in the lines "You will be lonely if you leave me alone", so you want to save them but can't get through to them due to the addiction &/or emotional problems they have, "Love in a vacuum and that's not enough love in a vacuum You will be lonely you'll be the only one who feels this way You will be lonely if you leave me alone You will be lonely you'll be the only one who feels this way it's just not enough" you want them to understand that the love they are giving you is not enough when it is filtered through the vacuum of their drug addiction &/or emotional impairment, "You will be lonely you'll be the only one who feels this way it's just not enough and just wait you will be lonely Love in a vacuum Love in a vacuum and that's not enough Love in a vacuum". 'Love In A Vacuum' for me is a hauntingly truthful acute argument on the loneliness of obsession and almost inevitable loss of love that follows people who are broken in some way or another; the obsessives, the coke heads, the drunks, addicts or the just-plain-old emotionally broken; a razor sharp, lyrically driven, deceptively poppy, yet ultimately-depressing-in-the-best-way song. Quintessential Aimee Mann.

Battle Royale
Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone). And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
