Similarities between the two album covers:
My Own Interpretation of Imaginal Disk
She Looked Like Me! is an an intro to the main character and gives some backstory.
Killing Time is a typical day and a longing for a better life.
True Blue Interlude is an ad for this Imaginal Disk, and it sounds like a pharmaceutical ad.
Image is True choosing to insert the Imaginal Disk.
Death & Romance is True saying they will remain true to their lover even though they will be going through some changes themselves.
Fear, Sex is True realizing remaining true to their lover may not be possible and having some regrets.
Vampire In The Corner is True (or Ghost?) feeling alienated from their lover.
Watching T.V. is True deciding to confront past traumas.
Tunnel Vision is True wrestling with these past traumas and feeling overwhelmed by them.
Love Is Everywhere is True embracing herself and accepting past trauamas and past mistakes.
Feeling Diskinserted? is True second-guessing inserting the Imaginal Disk.
That's My Floor - The video suggests a different aspect of the main character, Red, is having second thoughts about their path. They reject the Imaginal Disk.
Cry For Me - This is True finally letting go of parts of herself that were holding her back. The Imaginal Disk has caused a transformation, just not the one that was advertised.
Angel On A Satellite This is True reuniting with their lover after going through this transformation.
The Ballad of Matt and Mica - Lyrics from She Looked Like Me! are repeated but with minor changes (from "Ordinary" to "Not ordinary" for example). This is True embracing their life as it is, similar to the way Dorothy does at the end of Wizard of Oz.
