Wonder Veins - I'm not sure I like the title. These lyrics seem a little too... abstract? The mix of anatomy, larger words, passive voice and figurative language made me think of Bjork. A couple lines felt unnessary and contradictory, especially the last two lines of the verse which seem to imply the two aren't together anymore ("Go back to when you were mine"), even though the rest of the lyrics imply an active relationship.I thought it was an interesting approach.

The whole idea was that it was two people who had a relationship with a lot of ups and downs, but throughout it all they still had a really deep connection and bond, which to them, was like the affects of drugs. That's where the whole "you are the drug that..." thing comes from, and the whole veins/blood imagery as if that person is a drug within their veins. Whether or not they were together or not, there was still a bond and from the position I wrote in, they were experiencing cravings (like a drug) for their love again. That's basically what it was and why "go back to when you were mine" was used. They may not actively had been together at that time, but they were still tied, so not necessarily contradictory. (another example is the "i lay covered in your ever-changing hues" line. i don't explicitly say in the song whether they are together or not in the song, because i didn't think it was important. the ever-changing hues is a metaphor for the changing tides of the relationship, the colours would represent it going from possibly good to bad, so something like blue to red, or even black. it's also supposed to represent the high feeling associated with a drug, the ever-changing hues are like the colours you feel when high. the song is pretty in-depth and has multiple meanings)
I get the feeling you hated it, but there doesn't seem to be too much negative criticism here other than being *different* and I have no problems with that so thank you nn.
nervous for part 3
