The OP caption is probably incorrectly looking at either the date the novel was published or when initial talks and production started prior to filming, which would have been 1990.

I have these strings

To hold you down

I tie them tight, you can’t burst out

You might scream

But I’m happy

I’ve got your skin on me

The muscles that flex for me are the ones in the back of my head. If you place your hand on the back of your head directly between your ears (so just about where your skull begins to curve in and your neck muscles begin) it’s the ones just on either side of the center line that do the flexing and pull my ears back. Try imagining scrunching up the back of your head.

I believe they are called communities.
