Spirited Away reminds me of the song “Devil Town” by Cavetown!!
⚠️ Spirited Away Spoilers ⚠️
• “No one’s gonna catch us now” —> Chihiro’s dad trying to convince her that going down the alleyway was perfectly safe.

• “She’s mad” —> Chihiro was annoyed at her parent’s, both for moving and for going down the alley.
• “I’ll settle for two birthdays” —> Perhaps a bit of a stretch but could symbolise how Chihiro exists in two alternate realities.
• “Devil Town is colder in the summertime” —> Portrays the fantasy world she now has to live in.
