5 Page Doc of My Interpretation/Analyzation of TPK as a Book & 7 Stages of Grief
Across the span of like 3 days, having spent over 18 hours I am proud to finally present my ideas (and want to hear responses! I'll probably update the doc or create a separate one with any other thoughts that are particularly intriguing :)) I don't know this is probably common knowledge though, I don't use Reddit often lol
tl;dr for those that don't wanna read (understandable). When TPK is made into 17 tracks (Starts Align, the intro to Bike Thief is counted separate from BT itself, and Dogs/Perfectly Well are also split) that songs 3.Stars Align-9.Wake Up! are about the 7 Stages of Grief in a rearranged order, the rest of the songs outline different components of books (What I got is Theme, 'Antagonist'/Setting up Conflict, Setting, Point of No Return, Climax, Prologue, Epilogue/Message) with the exception of 3 tracks. Louder, Dive & Perfectly Well. In my opinion, I have came to conclusion that Louder and Dive were going to be cut from the album (If you're in the group that sees that from WBtR on the album was finished, then Dive would eventually replace on of the songs in the first half) and that Perfectly Well isn't actually supposed to be included in the album. Instead it's supposed to be like TBP's 'Blood', a hidden-track at the end of the album, meant to be placed elsewhere, up to the listers choice.
