If a house is on fire then you have to fight the fire. If the entries are obstructed you have to get rid of the obstruction. If the firefighters won't fight the fire then you have to get new firefighters.

This is a metaphor.

On that note, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) is the best breakup movie.

Beck because he just sort of... checked out, to reflect and reorganize. That *was* me in 2003. And his later cover of "Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime" (2004) is [chef kiss].

Fiona Apple because of how she balled up and weaponized the pain, not so much to lash out, but to use as scaffolding for her own emotional state. (Late 1999 me needed that.)

When the Pawn... by Fiona Apple (1999) and Sea Change by Beck (2003). What a time, what a time.
