Hannah Montana prepare to elope from a can opener and a pea cut open like a cantaloupe and candy bears”. He is also even messed up enough to mention Christopher Reeve, as he has in other songs, referring to him using a sippy cup. At the end of the song, there is an a capella sketch where he makes fun of AA members, showing his distaste for conventional rehabilitation and support groups. I agree with the general thought of this article in that this album contains his darkest rhymes. I also find it interesting that he followed it with the album Recovery, which is much more mainstream. Leaves me wondering if he actually listened to the critics and tried to appeal to a wider population of listeners, or his sobriety has actually changed him.
