Song interpretations

Note that these are more or less "official" song interpretations, most of them are from interviews where the band themselves have explained what the songs are about. (Most artists don't like to analyze their own lyrics, and The Posies are not an exception.) I have not tried to interpret anything myself.

Frosting on the beater

• Earlier Than Expected
  Ken: "this is a song I wrote about the future leader of the world, whoever she may be."
• How She Lied By Living
  Ken: "The song was written in response to Stefanie Sargent (7 Year Bitch guitarist who OD'd in 1993)'s death. That someone so full of energy and life could come to such an early end, let themselves inhabit the territory of death (which anyone who does IV drugs does). It seemed like a scam, how could she let us be so happy and then leave? ."



Amazing Disgrace



• Onatario
  Ken: "That song is about being far away."
• Throwaway
  Jon: "I went back to listen to it and I realised its about becoming jaded."
• Terrorized
  Ken: "This is another anti-love song."
