and We Exist, come to think of it, which is a bit of a hammy anti-homophobia anthem.

But "Normal Person" isn't about what the reviewer projects as an attack on him, it's pretty plainly a comment on what advertisers and corporations project as "normal people" that we should all ascribe to becoming that no-one, no matter how actually "normal" they may be, are. It's not an "I'm an outsider, you're not" song. It's a "nobody is really an insider given those standards, no matter how much you may chase it".

Now, Normal Person could likely be scrapped (along with Flashbulb Eyes) to cull the album down, but it's also presented in two pieces because the first is a broader commentary piece and the second a tragic love melodrama.
