This reminded me a Fresh Air interview with singer-songwriter Adam Schlesinger where Terry Gross interprets the sentiment in one of his songs as an expression of his self-identity: > GROSS: That's from the first Fountains of Wayne CD. Do you think Robert Christgau was onto something? Do you think of yourselves as former shy guys who didn't get the girl? > ... > SCHLESINGER: [...] But at the same time, you know, people, especially in America - I think more so even than in Europe - assume that any voice that you have in a song is you confessing, you know, your inner thoughts. And the idea of writing from, like, the perspective of a character or something is a little bit confusing to people.
