** ''Time 'n' Place'' in its entirety is without a doubt the darkest the band has ever gotten, plunging directly into [[GrowingUpSucks themes of approaching an increasingly uncertain future]] that their past projects only allude to or outright refute. The band's much grittier and down-to-earth aesthetic during this time ([[ThousandYardStare including the]] [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DoZ-z5kXkAAgMIj.jpg album's cover art]]) only punctuates the bittersweet melancholia that surrounds their music.
*** "Flyway" is a deeply melancholic WanderlustSong about watching migratory birds as a child. Despite the exuberant, shoegazey instrumental, Sarah's vocal delivery almost makes it sound like a GriefSong. Gets even worse when you know that Sarah wrote it after the loss of her pet bird, so it partially ''is'' a GriefSong.

** The "Time Today" video seems to depict Sarah as a patient of a mental institution [[note]]She's seen doing some things that wouldn't be always be allowed in typical facilities, like using scissors, so it's unclear if these scenes are artistic license or if it's meant to be some other situation[[/note]], albeit what seems to be a much nicer one than [[BedlamHouse what's usually depicted in fiction]]. Since the video uses the VHS aesthetic of the other ''Time 'n' Place'' era videos and was filmed in a real nursing home, this ''could'' have been creepy, but comes off more melancholy and a little bittersweet - there's scenes of Sarah crying or seeming confused or distraught, but they're juxtaposed with happier moments like face-timing with Jamie and Gus or sharing a hug with a nurse, and at one point she's seen circling a date on a calendar, which is possibly a sign she's only there temporarily. A relatively innocuous-seeming scene of her interacting with a toy bird in a cage as though it were real has some sad RealitySubtext (see the tearjerker entry for "Fly Away").
