A post about a TMBG song about palindromes full of palindromes - are we stuck in a loop? Probably. Read on and break the cycle. Or don’t. I'm not your mom.
A top-5 TMBG tune for me. If I was cleverer I would have said that as a palindrome. Your breakdown/analysis is perfect and even taught me something about the mother/son dynamics in the lyrics. I spent too much time trying to memorize the words to pay any attention to what they were saying. Fun piece!
I appreciate the analysis-- I enjoy the song but hadn't thought about the meaning, and your explanation makes much better sense of it than I had before.

This one really did take some time to memorize those words for sure. Glad you like this one!
one of my absolute TMBG faves both for the emotional aspects and also because i, too, was an AP english kid

Worth mentioning one other palindrome song -- Weird Al's "Bob" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUQDzj6R3p4
Bob is a great song!
