*** That makes a lot of sense. I'm still disturbed by the 'to the bed / the left unsaid / crawl in from outside my window, hands red / and cold as the dead / a pity they're not pretty, like they used to be' bit, though... partially because I can't figure out how it relates to the song, and partially because I really don't want to know what it means...
* SynthPop/Alternative? To be honest I always thought they were GothicMetal. (At least the harsher parts of their songs... especially "Blue.")

* Who actually writes TBM's songs? This troper's heard a lot of theories — Chibi writes them, Rainbow writes them, everyone writes them... It's extremely confusing. Can anyone help?
** TheOtherWiki lists the songwriters for "Video Kid," "Nevermind" and "Violet" as Chibi/M. Falcore/OE/Rainbow.
* In the ''Blue'' video, in the bits with the dolls walking around the maze, what was with the chair that randomly got dragged around and the doll that ended up sitting in the chair? What was ''that'' about?
** Better question — what was the ''entire video'' about?!

* Does anyone have any ideas about what ''Pins and Needles'' (the song, not the album) is about?
** I'm not sure what it is officially about, but to me it seems to be about worries/fears about the future, the verses talk about how good everything used to be while the chorus could apply to just about anything, but again I think it's just reminiscing about a better past. The line "They live in the heartbeat and sleep 'til the light is gone", I think it makes sense to assume 'they' are worries or fears, that they always seem worse at nighttime. In fact the whole song sounds like someone was just lying awake at night stressing about the future.
