- monstr0 - This song is a 1st person narrative from a crooked dictator that will use any means to keep people under their rule. “I am the king, of everything / That I can get away with.”
- therapy - This is what happens when you call in specialists to help you deal with your troubled history.
- olives & almonds - Title is from a grocery list. But it has more to do with avoiding superstitions or “magic” as a way to knowledge.
- imagine that - Is a conversation with a despot. Basically telling them, “yeah I know you have an air force, but we have love and art and -so you can go suck it.”
- new new one - Dystopian blues. A person can fail on so many levels. Economically, socially, spiritually, artistically. I think this covers all of those.
- overwrought - This is about spending the bulk of your time working with people you have no connection to, other than a paycheck. They likely are not your family or friends yet you spend more of your waking hours with them than you do with you friends or family.
- two eggs any style - This song is about people’s inability to appreciate how hard some jobs are to do and how they can jam up the works with their selfish behavior.
- to arms - This is a love song. But Maria always felt like it is from the point of view of a serial killer/stalker type.
- irresponsible - This is a song about observing a fallen spiritual “leader.”
- estate - This is a song about the homeless. There are no covenants and restrictions or home owners orgs for their lots in life.
- it ends - This is a song about addiction, loss, and becoming unraveled.
- gardenia radicans - They were in bloom when we started writing this.
- minervamerica - America the warrior goddess.
- second best - It’s about gun violence. How in very little time things can go very wrong.
- detached - This is about history. How it is always subjective and very much sifting through the wreckage to postulate on what happened.

What I am Going on about...
This is a list of the songs (in no certain order) and a description of what (I think) they are about.

Enlightening. At least a little bit. Easy to figure out most of the songs, but still interesting to read your short takes. I like that Maria has a strange interpretation of "To Arms!"
