    I found this song in a “Stanley parable vibes” Spotify playlist, and this definitely fits

      That fact adds to the sort of pathetic nature of the song. Although it sounds like an argument, it's really just Stine trying to convince himself that Stine's the one people like/need, not Stone.
      It shows off the occasionally snivelly qualities Stine has to watch him bully and beat down a person that doesn't exist to prove he's better than them. Wow, what a big strong man you are, Stine. You took down a grouping of adjectives and nouns. Incredible.

    As a practicing author both put really good points especially the "Im everything you always wanted to be lets deal with the issue You Wished you were me" hit me hard creating characters and making them theyre stories is like my own escape my own reality and go to the other one and experience it myself but if i was the character i would wished i had full control on what i see

    Imagine this was a enemies-to-lovers type of musical but before character 1 could confront character 2 about their feelings, character 2 dies.
    The aftermath would lead character 1 wandering up to his grave and slowly slumping next to it, singing a reprise version of the song called "I'm nothing without you."

      This musical actually has a reprise called “I’m nothing without you.” But it’s more of a triumphant song with stone(the detective) coming to Stine(the author)’s aid. And the pair confessing they both need eachother

      My assumption (with zero knowledge of the musical) is that this song is a meta-feud between a fictional character and the author of their story. They hate each other with a burning passion, but at the same time, they are stuck with each other because neither of them can function without the other around.
      For anyone who actually knows this musical, feel free to let me know how far off my interpretation is. Otherwise, I’ll just come back in about a week once I have actually listened to all of the songs…

      Stine is the creator of the book stones in, which was than took and planned to be turned into a movie, the dirrector assined stine to write the script, it being his book and all, but the dirrector kept making changes and ruining stines vison of the story, but stine caved began to re write it, rewriting a important scene changing a villians motive from a racial thing to one of romance, and stone is mad due to him caving.
