I want you she’s so heavy is so much how johns brain works… just like every iteration of the same riff and each version is extremely good … just slowing twisting and tweaking things .. never ending rearranging of the tune
But more specifically this feels like an older Ted, homeless Ted or box Ted, in a rare moment of clarity singing about Jenny. But even now his mind was changed by Tinky. He can't keep all the time metaphors and that box out of his head.
Singing about a love and a life he never got to have.
Inversely it could be Tinky singing this to taunt, taking a heartbreaking song and twisting it to make Ted feel even worse.
This song has always been a heart grabber to me. It's so sad, but it's so beautiful. I play it when I feel like I might panic. I may be sad, but I can process sadness better. Especially when that sadness is being given to me through a song I can turn off. It puts the control back into my hands. Its a golly darn beautiful song and I can see so many angst fics using lyrics. Or tinkofski fics.
My Brain is rotting away. I have tears in my eyes.
I'm imagining so many different ways this could go.
