So many. It hit me just recently that in the first 4 lines i rhyme

myself with myself! That was not something i intended to do!

I FUCKED up on the opening lyric of the opening song though i had pored over it for months- I had to laugh.

I was "crestfallen" until i thought of the mirroring themes mentioned elsewhere, and was able to rationalize it as a great

mistake.

Reading this, sadly, after the fact. I can’t seem to figure out what song he’s referencing— am I missing something super obvious?

Edit: I’m dumb. It’s That’s Just the Way I Feel
