That was a fascinating way Stevie had of coping with physical illness, exhaustion & mental distress: create a double, who can admonish you, steer you back on track, deal with your disappointed parents, & even get sick in your stead. It reminds me of "The Sandman" of E.T.A. Hoffmann, which I doubt Stevie has read, but I like thinking about the parallels.

The Sandman is IMO way darker than the image La Nicks cast of her alter self. But, I think the similarities are there and I would not be surprised if she had read it.
Did you know that Freud took the eyes stealing to mean castration - leave it to ole Sigmund
I also think The Portrait of Dorian Grey is in those songs as well - even if slight.
