(this is stream of consciousness sorry if it doesn't make sense
)
I think this song is about isolation, and that being alone leaves you to your thoughts. She isn't prostituting herself literally, she feels regret towards the "avenues" that she has given her love away so easily on, or without really thinking about it. When we are alone we are left to our thoughts, and we can't help but think we could have done something a different way, or not given a part of ourselves with such ease. Because it often leads to heartbreak and loneliness. or "wake up half empty". This song is about heartbreak, about living and dealing with the pain of love
"He's my evil shadow dove
My black Palamito
Can't break him like a diamond skull"
He's the evil part, the one that broke who she is, but she can't break him. She cherishes the pain I think, and the pain makes her who she is (makes us all who we are today). She can't just have him killed like the mob, nor would she, because we all have to live with the memories, whether they are good or bad. Killing him, or breaking him would not ease her pain.
Fragility plays a great part in this song as well, the reference to leaves, Autumn is the time of death and stillness. The innocence of animals and the comfort and solitude that they offer her to be alone with her thoughts and memories. animals aren't judgmental so she can live with who she is, and won't feel so misunderstood by them. I loved the crushed spirits simile "like Indians and butterflies"
"I sit and entertain the bizarro ghosts of my soul
His name still lingers maybe lactates on my tongue
Perhaps I'm just teething for a foreign fallen destiny
Miserable but mine, I look like his mother"
Okay, if you've been in a falling out with someone you loved deeply, you can completely relate to this part. She entertains the thought of them being back together. Part of him still lingers in her memories, his name is in her mouth and on her mind. she's craving her "fallen destiny", she wallows in misery and its all hers.
Well the wind blows, and life goes on, and that's the reason for the last line. So the moral is, deal with your heartache, its yours, and no one elses. Find time to be alone and miserable, tell everyone you're okay and go live with some animals and get out of shitty, judgmental society.
