I really do wanna emphasize the concept of death, and how that can also very much mean rebirth to keep things positive. and that people are allowed, and should have more freedom to be able to change and grow from their past selves.

I find this to be a great effort and interesting theory, and, for someone who likes to understand things, for me personally, surface level, I think this album's a rite of passage and I know there's a scat person that visits but i'm still gonna say it, flushing of a lot emotions, and having to release a lot emotions that she must've been holding onto for a long time. even sex can be considered as a method of release, and when u think about it, an exercise towards relief (ideally personally that connection that u feel, rather than body count even if they're hot). knowing how her childhood's been revealed to be tumultuous and having a hard relationship w her mom and being the same sex can really negatively impact a person. and this could reflect off of how some of her relationships would cycle and repeat well *spoiler warning* possible trauma, thus needing her to eventually face herself as relationships can be the ultimate mirror of cycles. but basically, all that catharsis, does have silver linings to it. oh and also I love the theme of identity, and the different spheres of it that she's been writing more about. I do think and strongly believe that if you want to change as a person, some things do have to fall away and you have to improve. and the theme of destruction gives way to clarity regardless of whether or not we'd agree, I really do love discussions like this and hope there'll be more in the future w less stigma.

i think kintsugi's my favorite track

hands on ya knees i'm Angelina Jolie ^3

i think it's a profound statement to think about when u've got this girl to woman singing about her adventures from a place of just being on her own, tryna make her dreams come true alone, all the way to her being able to sing so comfortably about her family. her start, her response to the media w UV, HM solidifying her perspective/ artist status. LFL's hopes, NFR's taste of direction and devastation. to Chemtrails and BB's healing and this album's liberation. In a way, as fans, and because her music encompasses a lot about life, I like to think that we might've also grown w her thru similar instances.

I remember making this one real heartfelt comment about Cherry Blossom in an earlier pre-release thread, and i'm just so happy that she added it to BB. I've been trying to work around understanding how this album connects w the rest, but from BB, it feels like Violets For Roses can connect to Sweet. BBS in sound, Arcadia as the land that she travels thru and semi- theater sounds, as well as no one's mentioned yet, but her body being LA, and the title track mentioning her soul, and how everyone finds it just like Camarillo, but not past that. Tunnel and Candy Necklace connects to a sound/ atmopshere/ energy to BTD, about a more solemn timbre of life. the anthemic pacing of tunnel, and the dynamism of CN. the interludes remind me so much of UV. The Grants sounds like an elevated track sprung forth from Chemtrails. Let The Light In from LFL, the last 3 tracks, from NFR. fishtail, like TJF's relaxed sister. Grandfather sounds like sunbeams raying down from UV's gloomier world. the beautiful thing that i love and find about this album is it's delicate subject matter, reflected off it's phrasing, and sound/ soundscape, that contrasts the solidness of it all still. where BTD seemed very fixed and gutsy, UV filled w rage and anger HM in mystique, and pleasure LFL's play NFR's introspection COCC's refuge and pocket world and BB's healing and restoring. this album culminates all these traits and transforms it through a "tunnel"/ passageway thru catharsis. prominently thru this album than the past albums. the beautiful thing about this record, or one of the things, is the theme of release, letting go. and having that balance of honoring your past, your own self, remembering and reclaiming yourself. there's a feeling of self-ownership that's being exuded from this album. so, for me at least, when she sings of family, identity, interaction w society at large, and battling of perspectives vs. her own knowledge of her own self (cus she's actually herself), she's able to sing of it all straightforwardly, bc she walks her talk, and it's of her life, despite what the external might project onto her. it's incredibly liberating, all the while being a great reflector of the world/ reality around is now, bonus points for the solidness of wisdom and consistencies that supports the weight of everything around, within, and the rest of the corridor of the life and times thru this album. cus what's braver these days than being your own self and standing by that?
