This song is written about when Lean arrived back to his Dad’s house in Sweden after being in a psychiatric unit. The piano is purposefully out of tune to mimic the mental state of Lean at the time.
Lean told NPR that “Agony” was his interpretation of Alice In Wonderland and Beauty And The Beast.
The last refrain is featuring a Icelandic children’s choir, recorded at the same time as the Stranger short film was recorded.
“Agony” is the most minimalistic song off the Stranger album: Lean is blunt and honest with his experience with psychosis and how this has affected his relationship.
