Trivia/Info
- John Flansburgh described the song's themes in a 2021 interview:[1]
It's not really an autobiographical song, but I think anybody who's been sort of trapped in a family could understand this song. I think one of the things about writing songs is that you tend to really amplify a lot of the lyrical... You know, if you're drawing from something personal, you're not just gonna mumble your way through it, you're gonna heighten it. It's really about a very extreme kind of claustrophobia. [...] That one's pretty dire.
- Flansburgh later revealed that the song was based on a friend's experiences.[2]
