um. so i wound up working on a full annotation & analysis essay of this song & all the references it makes to other songs/literature (that i could find at least) & how it ties into the theme of this album being a critique of the music industry and her fans idolization of her & so so much more &&&& it is nearly 4am and i need to sleep butttt should i post it when i finish. yay or nay.
can we talk about 'the albatross' reference to 'candle in the wind'??
"Wise men once said / 'Wild winds are death to the candle'"
like??
