  General Comment:I absolutely LOVE how at the song ends with the very plodding piano, Barnes singing, "I don't know how long I can hold on / If it's gonna' be like this forever...", and then it moves right into the frenetic, optimistic trumpets of An Eluardian Instance. Musically, it says that when one feels that way, they simply have to wait it out and things will change.
  The truth of life is chaotic, Dionysian proteanism.

  General Comment:this is my favorite song on the new album.
  as far as meaning goes, it's probably about Kevin Barnes being torn about his alter ego Georgie Fruit. i'm willing to bet he wrote this song soon after the songs on Icons Abstract Thee

  General Comment:I agree, it's not the most fun, dancy song to listen to on the album. Still, it is important reflection on Barnes. Personally, I think Barnes use of his voice really makes this song a great simple song.

  General Comment:Wow, really? It's so simple and honest, an element we hardly see in Barnes's work anymore. I love it.

  General Comment:Worst song on the album, but I appreciate the contrast.
  especially in how that is sometimes how you feel in your head!
  YOU FEEL LIKE THERE IS JUST SIMPLE UNHAPPINESS!
  (the whole album is a metaphor for searching through your mind)
  okay, I just had a revelation and I get it now. Still not that fun to listen to.
