Ground Level
(Jenny Timeline Project Song-by-Song Analysis #2)
(The Jenny Timeline Project is my attempt to figure out more about this album by doing casual literary criticism at it. It started with a post about the viewpoints of songs. The tag to follow or block if you care is Jenny Timeline. I welcome feedback if you see any of the holes in my interpretation.)
This is a LONG post, fair warning.
Ground Level was originally going to be called SW Ranch, which helps, if somehow we needed evidence, reinforce the reading that it describes Jenny's "southwestern ranch-style house" (Jenny, All Hail West Texas). For the interested, there's an ostensible illustration on a piece of merch.
The vinyl gives it an epigraph: "There was, en route to greener pastures, a small house in the city." That epigraph alone deserves a moment of consideration, because in so much of the album, there is no rest state. Everything is transitory, all is ephemeral, and even this stop is "en route" to elsewhere. Scholars of the album already know this, and this safehouse is not a place of salvation, but mere shelter. Greener pastures ahead; survivable respite here.
It's never specified why people might come to Jenny's to crash, but it's not merely from having nowhere to go. The first note given, possibly by a narrating Jenny introducing the place to a new lodger, is that "You can make out all the exits from a static position." People who are here sometimes need to be able to see who comes in and need to be able to get out. They need to be unseen, and it therefore is later noted that "nobody sees your face through the security grille."
There exists the threat of a chill in this song, in this place of what I imagined to be huddled forms. Though it is set in sunny Texas, the space heater is ready to fend off the long nights. I fumbled around with the blue pilot light for a while before discovering that space heaters can be gas based rather than the electrical ones I use. Nifty.
(This can be read, though I don't personally do so, as a fire hazard that becomes horribly relevant come Water Tower, where "There's probably gonna be a building burning in town / when you smell smoke in the air." Between this and the lit cigarettes, this house is certainly at some risk)
"We sleep light in the shadow of the cloverleaf" reads in two ways, both of which might be so immediately clear to the listener that they seem like the only interpretation at first. The first would reference a highway cloverleaf. Here, those at the safehouse are in the lee of the road, and the traffic can always bring something new to and past the house. This fits themes of ephemerality. However, clovers are often associated with luck, and one might sleep light knowing that the wheel of fortune, which currently buoys them up, may soon crash down again. After all, those with nothing are more victims of fate than pilots of it--and fate is a major theme of the Greek tragic themes of this album.
There's a moment of potential symbolism worth mentioning in lighting a "cigarette / against the cooktop if you need to." Obviously, nicotine is addictive, sure, whatever, but what I'm interested in is the cooktop. This is an album filled with desperate needs, and food is a fundamental need. But there's only a spotless (read: empty) kitchen in Clean Slate and this cooktop used for the sating of the need to smoke. Food is nowhere in any other song, and that need is supplanted by the hunger for this stimulant. It's nothing huge, but play with it, see if it's worth your time.
I submit "you're never gonna get by on three hours' sleep a night / unless you absolutely have to, and then you get by alright" as more evidence of Jenny's need to care for others--the roots, but not branches, of her tragic flaw (discussed briefly in my Clean Slate commentary). If she is the narrator, why does she tell "you" that your sleep is insufficient? Because she's trying to help you heal. But she gets it, and knows how we can get by. If we need to.
Sleep light.

Prompt 218
“Moom, there’s yellow-eyed creeps fighting ninjas outside the window again!”
Danny sighed, taking a deep breath- in for ten, out for eight- as he set the pot he was cleaning back in the sink. Dan- currently six- came running in from the living room of the apartment, where he was watching TV. Or he should have been if not for the bullshit outside.
He sighed again, picking up baby Ellie- currently closer to two- out of her highchair (even if she could just float out) and let his oldest drag him to the window. Sure enough, another fight was happening, with no vigilante in sight stopping it. Look, he knew most people didn’t live here, but it was still rude.
“Jordan, remember how I told you how violence isn’t always the answer?” Danny asked sweetly, Dan’s expression shifting to a wicked grin as he opened the window. “Feel free to practice tossing some fireballs while I clean up your sister, yeah?”
Ah, the sweet sound of surprised cursing and startled ecto-signatures. Maybe they’d be polite enough to take their spar elsewhere.

i wonder how many more people would've vehemently hated gale right off the bat on full release if his introduction conversation had stayed like this or something similar
#i wasn't realy involved in any discussions during ea but i do know a lot of people didn't trust or like gale then#but i always really loved the wind imagery he uses with his phrasing here#and the way he casually walks out of the portal like it's effortless and then stands over you literally talking down to you#in the full release your first impression of him is a guy stuck with no way to free himself without your help#then when you do help him he's very friendly and kind and doesnt come across as threatening at all. and you talk to him on level ground#even his most dismissive remark about the player's magic or lack of it just after meeting him doesn't come across as strong as this one imo#also. i have like no other clips from ea saved other than this one lol#baldur's gate#gale dekarios#gale of waterdeep#★
