Starrcraft seems to be about Liverpool winning the champions league

I feel like I mishear him in the songs and force the lyrics to make more sense to what I imagine they might be about. And then I read the actual lyrics, and find out what I'm hearing is actually way more disjointed feeling.

Like, in Haunted, I thought he was saying "dead end nursery rhyme" and not "dead and nursery rhyme."

and in Minerva, I thought it was "Pathetic, prophetic Columbine" (as in the high school shooting from the 90s that almost feels fucking quaint by todays standards) and not "Columbines" which makes me think he's probably just singing about the flower and the point he's trying to make is not as deep or relevant to real world events or people

What gets me is that one of the first reviews pointed out how ridiculous a line like "Which of these dolphins can set you free?" is.

And according to these lyrics it's 'dauphins', and I'd never have known if I hadn't read them.

I thought he was talking about the theatrical character

I'm not sure why, but I always thought by "shower" he meant "showers" as in "rain showers".
