ICouldntThinkOfOne 215 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I can see that but I see 1000 Doves as something more positive, particularly given its placing on the album. When you compare it to "alice", the mood is completely different lyrically speaking. In Alice, she's slipping away and shes asking people to save her (almost before it's too late). In Doves, it sounds like she's sitting down and acknowledging that she is human, that she feels pain and that is okay. She doesn't need to be saved, she just needs to be supported. In the Piano Tape, the extra lyrics talk about how she struggled to find a way to express it but music helped. Although the lyrics are can be seen as dark, I hear them in a more optimistic sense; when she started the Chromatica Journey, she was about to spiral, and was experiencing her trauma, anxiety etc. When we reach Sine, she is grounding herself, she recognises her issues and sets out to recover. And the Babylon is a celebration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
