Portishead – The Rip Lyrics 16 years ago
i agree with the post above. i know that some people want to make the first verse out to be her love for another woman...but it's about herself. And i agree with szoreny that the song is about heroin. There are so many names for the drug, but most of them involve the word "white". I'm not sure about Beth's past, but this song reminds me of someone struggling with drugs. Until you've been there, you have no room to contradict this theory.
