This is how I generate ideas, literally on demand, because the impetus to them is "between the lines" almost everywhere. It's okay (socially acceptable) for her to think what she's saying, and it's even okay for her to do what she's saying, but it's not okay for her to say what she's saying. I wouldn't make this song about that. It makes me want to write my own song about that, about how you can't "play it cool" and say you're playing it cool at the same time, about how it can somehow be good to be bad and everyone understands such behavior and even excuses or approves of it, as long as everyone can pretend to be unaware of it. It's not the behavior itself -- the subject of the song -- that I personally find creatively interesting, makes me want to communicate an idea through some medium, it's the conceptual and moral confusion it exposes that I want to untangle or straighten out. It's not enough to just see it and think: "Hey. That's not bad." or whatever, even if a thousand pretty girls published similar works, because until we understand why the evaluations are so mixed up, they'll always be mixed up. The result, if I were able to communicate successfully something we struggle to even understand, would be an original work. Love this. Best thing I've seen in awhile.
