'Show me the ways I forgot to be speaking' - apparently Anna Anderson (the woman who for years claimed to be Anastacia) spoke a language other than Russian (I can't remember what it was, I think German) and those who found her decided she was a fraud as she didn't speak Russian, but others then came forward to say that in the Russian Royal household, they did speak that language, as their mother did not have Russian as her first language (she was German) and that the shock had caused Anna to revert to using the language that made her feel safest. Equally, 'if you know me so wel then tell me which hand I use' relates to those who said Anna was not the real Anastacia as she wrote with the wrong hand. Some believed it was the trauma and others said that the experts were mistaken and that Anna used the same hand as Anastacia had. Several DNA tests have shown Anna was not a Romanov descendent, and linked her to a Polish family. Her supporters continue to deny this.

Another interpretation of the line "If you know me so well then tell me which hand I use". Search for "Tori Amos Interview/clips of crucify & Icicle" on You Tube where Tori says, regarding Under The Pink: "There are two references to a woman touching herself, in 'Anastasia' and in 'Icicle'" and in the same clip she also says: "One good thing about being a piano player is that you have a very good left hand, and the nice thing about it is that you can pretend it's anybody you want."...
