“dad, why is my sister named Marsha?”

“because your mother’s favorite song is Marsha, Thankk You for the Dialectics, but I Need You to Leave.”

“oh, thanks dad!”

“no problem, son with five names.”

Self-ish, Will Wood

Jesus Christ, this album is so fucking powerful. Every song somehow intertwines with one another. One common theme is the 'Hand me my shovel, I'm going in!' chorus in the two songs leading up to it. The repetitive nature of this really built it all up, and I LOVE how the chorus of every song works with one another. They all have a common sound.

Another theme in this album is mental illness. Capgrass syndrome is a rare mental illness that leads you to think that a loved one or friend is an imposter. Cotards syndrome is another name for "walking corpse syndrome". This is yet another rare disorder in which the patient believes they are dead or not existing, and are (hence the name) a walking corpse. There is many more references in the other titles of his songs that I could get into but If you're really curious you can look them up.

Those two songs I mentioned both relate to the illness.

Mr Capgrass: "Damn, I thought you're not your imposter!" "somebody to replace yourself" etc.

At the beginning of Cotards Solution (live) on The Real Will Wood album, Will introduces the song as "This is a song written by a dead guy."

Among these, the album also delves into a lot of religion. 'Give me that old time religion' in Song with five names and part of the name of the song itself 'Checkmate Atheists!" In 2012, a variety of different religions are mentioned. "My dreams were shattered like a stained glass window, Jesus in Pieces! I believe I threw a brick right through Him" in 'Hand me my shovel' etc.

This is personally my favorite album. The songs hold so much meaning and the whole thing is so fleshed out. I could make this essay go on for 10 pages if I wanted to, but I'll save you the time. I didn't even mention Dr Sunshine is dead.

I HIT THE WRONG TIME LIMIT FUCK SHOULD I REDO IT

[dreadful-windandrain]

thinking about how the song with five names and hand me my shovel, i'm going in! are intrinsically connected.

how the former is a warning call to the singer of the latter. you can break a shovel if you break new ground, it cries. quit while you're ahead. stop before you learn something about yourself you regret. and the other says, heaven sent me. i'm untouchable. this is all i am meant to do now. hand me my shovel.

how the latter is a desperate plea to the singer of the former. this is not enough, it cries. i need to hit the bottom. come with me. don't be afraid of altering your worldview, even if it's uncomfortable. and the other says, gimme that old time religion. i will never change. i would rather accept a belief i know to be implausible than recognize who i really am. it's good enough for me.

thinking about how both of the singers are wrong. neither of their views are beneficial to their lives, but they stay stubborn. one uses introspection as a form of self-harm and the other ignores introspection as a form of self-harm. self-sabotage versus ignorance. in the end, both of their minds will snap. both will cave under the weight they've put onto their own backs. it's just a matter of how they get there.
