Agreed these are weak and also that Paper Doll was even weaker. This was the beginning of Stevie's klonopin daze I believe. She said she went on it after kicking cocaine. When you kick cocaine your brain cannot produce enough happy neurotransmitters so you become depressed which makes you flat. Stevie has said she was not depressed at this time but she likely was at least mildly to moderately depressed. Cocaine works by making your brain create excessive amounts of these substances which creates that state of euphoria. But it also creates a backlash effect where when the cocaine wears off your brain no longer produces normal emounts of happy neurotransmitters. Hence the addiction and the need for more cocaine. Pair this with the downer effect of klonipin and, as an artist, she was basically screwed in terms of feeling inspired and vital.
