Dead Poetic – Vices Lyrics 18 years ago
For those questioning the meaning of the "she" lyrics, take a look at the structure of the rest of the song and who the chorus is addressing following each section.
First has references to being a child (a play or something similar?) - hence, "Oh, Child..."
Second speaks of raising a son ("Raise a boy to a cynic...") - hence, "Oh, Mother..."
Third speaks of a girlfriend/wife/etc... - hence "Oh, Lover".
etc...

Aside from that, this song is quite possibly my favorite song of theirs. Beautiful and powerful, even at it's quietest moments.
