oooh shameless cut and paste

Remember When I Was So Strange And Likeable?

Tegan and Sara "Back In Your Head" - This song is an enormous pile-up of neuroses, but its issues are stacked neat and deliberately, just like the "wall of books" mentioned in the very first line. It's an internal tug of war: You want intimacy, but it's terrifying. You love someone, but you push them away, in part because you never let yourself believe that they love you. You want the comfort of familiarity, but things get boring if they never change. You get frozen by indecision even when you know exactly what you want. The song feels light and casual; it fits into the smallest, stillest moments while quietly (almost silently) freaking out.
