I think she's saying "fuck you" to all those who take her too seriously. And yeah, Heidi is in here: "from the shape of your shaved head i recognized your silhoutte as you walked out of the sun and sat down and the sight of your sleepy smile eclipsed all the other people as they paused to snear at the two girls from out of town and i said "look at you, this morning, you are by far the cutest but be careful getting coffee i think these people wanna shoot us..." Because damn, Heidi looks outta place in some podunk town. Hahaha I love the lady. |

I agree. But I could also see this as a couple who are so in love and passionate, that she can't quite see herself without him/her. "my convex to your concave" I think, it depends on where you in your life when you listen to it. |

"we have to abort our cannibalistic state of mind." The double meanings in this song are haunting. |

| Ani DiFranco – 32 Flavors Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
"and god help you if you are an ugly girl course too pretty is also your doom cause everyone harbors a secret hatred for the prettiest girl in the room and god help you if you are a phoenix and you dare to rise up from the ash a thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy while you are just flying past" I saw that as women being their own worst enemy. That, maybe, if we stopped competing with eachother then we would learn so much more. Since we're all so different....and strong. |

| Ani DiFranco – 'Tis of Thee Lyrics | 20 years ago |

I don't think it can be broken down to such liberal vs. cconservative lines. This could be at America in general....and the lines: "why don't you just go ahead and turn off the sun 'cause we'll never live long enough to undo everything they've done to you" I think speak the most powerfully. I see that as going out to anybody who has been done wrong by. That if you hold onto that hate, negativaty, and such then you'll never be satisfied. Kind of like, "an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind" mentality. I think this song is quite layered so as to speak to both the one doing wrong and the wronged. |
