jumping off the back of the post about genres of song lyrics, another thing about tmbg's lyrics in particular is that even when they write about pleasant themes, they still manage to frequently do so through a sinister lens:

the experience of having children and looking after them:

a nice little nightlight protecting a child muses on the shortcomings it would have outside its assigned responsibility:

fantasising about getting high in the park with your crush:

omg guys…

I slept for 14 hours last night 😱

it’s a Miracle! Have I finally broken my insomnia??

nah jk- insomnia is still very much present, but my mom gave me uh.. a little too much Nyquil or however you spell it

but sleep was most enjoyable!

I had the thought of Tom or Billy sniffing their new babies and I thought of you for some reason.

-cj aka @cheesewritings

no bc billy loves the new baby smell. like from the minute you bring your baby girl home (he’s a girl dad, first and foremost, fight me. maybe he’ll have a son later on, but his first kid? a girl, the girliest of girls.) and she stops smelling like hospital (probably after her first bath… which was somehow both a chaotic scene and a warm, wholesome bonding moment for the three of you), he’s got his nose to her dome like all the time, just breathing in the newborn baby smell mixed with the lavender nighttime baby shampoo you two had cleaned her fluffy, downy hair with. at first, billy tries to be discreet about it, because he thinks it’s weird. however, when he catches you sniffing her too one night as you rock her to sleep, he realizes that maybe he’s not so weird after all… or maybe you two are just equally weird… but, billy thinks, if he’s weird in the same ways that you’re weird, then that truly wouldn’t be so bad after all because at least your brand of weird isn’t off-putting (in his opinion… you disagree on the grounds that 1) you don’t think his brand of weird is off-putting because you don’t think anything about him is off-putting and 2) you think you can be at least a little off-putting sometimes).

as for tom, i hc tom (at least the version of him from my older!tom au) as not ever having kids (simply because he doesn’t want to have them), but you can bet that anytime he meets one of his newborn nieces or nephews (he has quite a few siblings… which means he also quite a few nieces and nephews) for the first time, he’s always quick to cuddle up to them, cradling them gently in his arms (now that’s been through this whole thing a dozen or so times, he’s a pro at holding newborns), and luxuriating in their soft skin and sweet newborn baby scent.

I just purchased a piece of baby paraphernalia which includes a statement by the original inventor in 1965. I didn't read it thoroughly because I don't care, but my eye did fall upon a line which announced that something was now known to be as useless and out-of-fashion as swaddling babies.

Sir, I have some news from 2023 for you about the popularity and promotion by health authorities of swaddling babies. All of which is to say, it's amazing how old things come around new again in ways we cannot predict.

there's something about holding something so small and delicate and knowing that someday, you will set it down, and never pick it up again

[legofemme]

Sometimes life is really hard but then i remember that every time i go to a Big zoo there is always someone there with a newborn or a very small baby showing them animals they dont even have the brain to comprehend yet and i feel ever so slightly more normal

2-3 am showers before sleep can fix you... trust

Waking up every two hours to pee, or maybe because I am hungry. Only 27 more weeks of this. Lol.
