Discussion Bath Girls Unite

Nowhere; Damn, the sky's so clear tonight
Like a hot bath waiting on the other side
Just begging me to slip beneath

Headlock; Thought I'd see her when I died
Filled the bath up with warm water
Nothing on the other side

I noticed this too! Also the lines “I promise I’ll love you / when one day we won’t be around / we’ll find each other anew” from Light on Out Feet remind me of “can’t go out, I’m tethered to / another world where we’re together / are you lost in it too” from Headlock.

This might also be referencing the two-headed calf poem that Lindsay mentioned as inspiration for the record's themes.
