Time for new trends: We gotta get some Lyrical Analysis going for amplified listening experiences. I'll send you some analysis...then we get some back and forth response going.
With regards to its importance to the rest of the album, I don't have much insight due to a lack of listens with the lyrics in front of me. However, on close inspection I have begun to delve deeper into this one. Its basic principles are fairly simple in its directness and Frightened Rabbitesque nature, however, there are many ways to maneuver through this piece.
What appears to be here is yet another relationship gone wrong for Scott, however, this time we have the song directed at coping, and how he is unable to do it. While the Nitrous gas can easily been seen as an escape, and the oxygen is the stagnant state of life devoid of happiness, perhaps scott is directing this song towards guilting his listener (the one he is having a difficult relationship with). Perhaps Scott is choosing to cope by placing blame on her, as he openly states "I'm dying to tell you I'm dying her." Scott continues to emphasis his intentions to guilt with "I'm dying to bring you down with me." Perhaps the worst part about depression and a misery is the loneliness [and the scream] (couldnt let that one go untouched), and he seeks to bring someone with him.
Perhaps Scott attempts to express his own self-fish intensions in life through his specific mishaps. An interesting choice to use Nitrous gas--although it does halt all thought.
I may very well need to change a few things here...
I must agree that Scott's own self-loathing prevents him from from embracing any shot at happiness in his life, as he describes his own gravitation to his self-hate with, "I’m just dying to be unhappy again." However, this outward self-analysis is perhaps an improvement when contrasted with the expulsion of internalized self-hatred found in "Modern Leper." Here he proceeds to emphasis his own worthlessness rendering his life condition as handicapped, unfit for natural undistorted affection.
Acts of Man:
Scott leaves no stone untouched in detailing his own contemptible behavior, displaying a complete lack of anything redeeming. However, he only retracts so far to claim that at the bare minimum he hasn't given in to the temptations of the material world; his actions are driven by something else. Yet we find the redeeming quality behind Scott here...at least he's not afraid to expose himself, having o qualms regarding himself as "that dickhead." He openly disparages his own genuineness, yet ironically being genuine in the process. He's "not heroic" by any means, but that doesn't mean that he can't make tiny changes to earth and while he's alive he'll "try." A Shrine/ An Argument: Divided into three parts, it opens with a tranquil setting alluding to the passing of time and the merits of the summer season. He continually references the apples in the trees, and finishes the opening scene when he leaves his coins in the shrine, an activity that he has lacked interest in the past. Then, the song dives head first into the discord of a terminated relationship. He is unable to overcome the spell that has completely engulfed his perception, causing he aforementioned sunlight to shine upon him inducing pain and strife. Yet he solves this by the ever simplistic means of remaining by the sea, watching as the waves calmly approach him. He references the apples in this last part, repeating that they are his and only his, perhaps describing a new self-sufficiency and independence.
