I Don’t Want to Be Lonely

Going Back to the Concept of This Being a Sex Song, It’s as If Despite the Realization She and the Addressee Are Not Compatible, She Can’t Prevent Herself from Sleeping with Them Either Way. but to Reiterate, Said Desire Doesn’t Read Like It Is Based on Physical Attraction per Se. Rather, What She’s Really Dependent on Is Their Association, Despite Also Acknowledging That, in the Grand Scheme of Her Loneliness, That Too Is Less Than Ideal. but Then It’s Like Whenever They’re Chillin’ with Each Other, Chatting or What Have You, One Thing Leads to Another.

So This Is an Interesting Song, to Say the Least – One Which, All Lyrics Considered, May Have Deeper Implications Than What’s Been Discussed Above. but What the Wording, Most Generally Interpreted, Does Seem to Recognize, More Than Anything Else, Is the Human Need for Companionship, or More Specifically We Can Say in Context for Romance. and from the Vocalist’s Perspective, Said Relationship She Is Personally in Is Indeed Toxic. but Since Jenny ‘Likes’ the Addressee Anyway, It’s as If She’s Willing to Take the Good with the Bad.

Q: “Portions for Foxes”

That Then Brings Us to the Title of the Song. It Has Been Postulated That the Term “Portions for Foxes” May Have Been Inspired by a Certain Passage from the Book of Psalms. but in Any Event What That Phrase Easily Points To, in Both a Literal and Symbolic Sense, Is the Notion of Death. So When the Vocalist Puts Forth in the Bridge That “We’ll All Be Portions for Foxes”, That’s Another Way of Saying Food for Foxes, If You Will, I. E. ‘Corpses’ That These Scavengers Can Partake Of.
