They also did a whole EP of covers originally done by female artists entitled Taking Back the Covers. The album's intent was to seemingly expose the anti-masculinity of the original recordings.
They also had a marked affinity for the color pink with their album art and, for a time, their onstage apparel. Pink shorts and Converse All Star shoes were the order of the day at several performances.

Amazing Transparent Man Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
why you won't play on the swings with me make my life pretty grim.
Hold his hand while you're playing kickball,
makes my ego feel kind of small,
cause i just know that you'll sit with him in lunch again.
I know this sounds three years old,
even though i'm ten.
to try and kiss you again.
I hold my breath until i get my way cause i know some day it will be,
you and me.
I've got my eyes on you in class all day,
the only problem is you're always lookin' his way.
Gimmie half the chance you'll see, I'm twice the boy he could be,
but till then my skies look grey, cloudy and grey.
I know this sounds three years old,
even though i'm ten.
I might be so bold,
to try and kiss you again.
I hold my breath until i get my way cause i know some day it will be,
you and me.
Can I carry my lunch box for you today?
I'll give you my lunch box if you stay.
My folders are covered in your name.
My Star Wars figures tell me i'm in sane.
I hold my breath until i get my way cause i know some day it will be,
you and me.
The lyrics of "Euphoria" by The Amazing Transparent Man depict a young boy's innocent infatuation with a girl in his class. The boy observes the girl walking with another boy on the playground and feels a sense of rejection and dejection because she chooses to spend time with someone else instead of him. His self-esteem takes a hit as he watches her hold hands with the other boy while playing kickball, making him feel insignificant and small in comparison. The boy's inner turmoil is evident as he anxiously anticipates the girl's actions, fearing that she will choose to sit with the other boy during lunch.
Despite being just ten years old, the boy grapples with complex emotions and desires that reflect a level of maturity beyond his years. His yearning to be noticed and chosen by the girl is a universal theme of longing and unrequited love that transcends age. The boy considers making a bold move by attempting to kiss the girl, symbolizing his willingness to take risks in order to express his feelings and win her affection.
The boy's fixation on the girl is further highlighted by his constant gaze upon her in class, although he is disheartened by the realization that she is often looking in the direction of the other boy. Despite his feelings of inadequacy and insecurity, the boy believes that he has more to offer than his rival and perceives himself as a better match for the girl. His longing for a future where he and the girl can be together is a recurring theme throughout the song, illustrating his ongoing optimism and faith in the possibility of a romantic connection with her.
The boy's gestures of affection, such as offering to carry the girl's lunch box and expressing his admiration through personalized folders and Star Wars figures, showcase his sincere efforts to impress and win over the object of his affection. The lyrics capture the innocence and purity of young love, as well as the bittersweet emotions that come with unreciprocated feelings. Ultimately, the song conveys a sense of hope and determination as the boy holds onto the belief that one day, he will have the chance to be with the girl he adores, embodying the timeless essence of youthful infatuation and the pursuit of love.

Euphoria needs to be taught at every film school it's the most artistic piece of television ever created. S2 took it to a whole other level.
