When Fiona Apple sang, “How can I ask anyone to love me, when all I do is beg to be left alone,” and when Mitski sang, “you’re growing tired of me, and all the things I don’t talk about,” and when Julien Baker sang, “it’s not easy when what you think of me is important, and I know it shouldn’t be so damn important, but it is to me,” and when Elliott Smith sang, “I’m alone but that’s okay, I don’t mind most of the time; I don’t feel afraid to die,” and when the Front Bottoms sang, “sometimes you get sad when we’re together because you’re not sure if you’ll miss me when I’m gone,” and when

It's okay, we're the best of friends anyway…And you can say we're still friends…like you were my closest friend…So, hey, let's be friends…Pauses, then says "You're my best friend"…I don't want you like a best friend…Cause all of my enemies started out friends…It's nice to have a friend…I hate accidents except when we went from friends to this…but you got a friend in me…we were supposed to be just friends…

Also like Jenny "as a function of memory". Jenny haunts the album. It's ostensibly /her/ album, but she haunts it, even more than she did in parts of AHWT. Shes present in the album, but she haunts it as if she's already gone. It's like the classical tragedies, where your tragic protagonist haunts the play even before the tragedy happens. They're the central figure and yet they're almost not present at all. It was always going to end this way. You cannot understand the tragic hero, everyone thinks they know them, but they can only be known via their absence, and even then, not truly. It was always going to end with the leaving, the haunting. Was it the choices Jenny made that were inevitable. The way the world around her reacts to them. How can she be a warrior, a thief, a pirate, and still open up her house this way. How many different versions of the story are there, how many versions of Jenny? Were they all doomed from the start? Do these questions only ever arise in hindsight? Through clouded, conflicting memory?
I am chewing glass. Btw. If you even care.
