| Sara Bareilles – Love Song Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I think writing a love song is a euphemism for saying " I love you." She's not going to say she loves him if she doesn't mean it. |

| Tori Amos – Me And A Gun Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| The monophonic texture of this song really allows you to focus in on the lyrics and the meaning behind them. It's not boring because there's no particular melody or accompanying instruments, it makes the song even more touching by being raw and bare. | |
| Damien Rice – Me, My Yoke and I Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| This song is about masturbation and sex, surprise surprise. | |
| Damien Rice – Insane Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I think this song is about feeling inadequate in a relationship, and his partner is just dragging him down saying that he's never put up a fight to keep her or something like that. | |
| Destinys Child – Soldier Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| OK this song totally CONTRADICTS Independent Women, a song that said a woman doesn't need a man to take care of her, and now Soldier just says how they want someone to take of them? wtf? They have lost a lot of credibility in my book. | |

|
I was curious about how people were defining what a terrorist was," Amos explains. "[I wanted to] undress the word and really crawl inside the definition of it . . . People are using it to get the masses to agree with their agendas . . . [But] it can be a little pill that you're addicted to, or a person. And sometimes, for a woman, it's another woman." -taken from some online article |

| Tori Amos – The Power of Orange Knickers Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| "I started to think about the word terrorist. It's a word you hear several times a day now. I started to think about what being a terrorist can mean in different situations. I wanted to explore the realm of personal invasion. Now this would be an invasion by someone you know personally, not a stranger. We all know about strangers being filled with hatred -- strangers who lash out against a government or an ideal. As a result, this stranger kills innocent people, tragically, people you may know personally. But when there is an intimacy between two people and one person starts to feel invaded by the other person, that is personalized terrorism. As we all know, the battleground between two lovers, or two friends, or two coworkers can be vicious. Painful. Heartbreaking. And bloody. I started to think about the weapons that might be used in this kind of battle, and as I kept digging for an answer, I stumbles into the Realm of Assonance. I started to think, Okay, what is the paradox of the terrorist? And Assonance, that beautiful creature, came to my aid and whispered, 'Kiss.' And sure enough, we have all felt invaded by a lingering kiss, for good or ill. But I had to find terrorism not just in a relationship of a couple -- representing two divided Beings -- but within one Being. After all, isn't that the ultimate discovery, the ultimate pain -- division within the self, the soul from the body, the mind from the heart, wisdom from consciousness, the addiction from the cure, the two Marys . . . divided? The lyrics started to come to me quickly..." [Tori Amos: Piece by Piece] | |
