| Tori Amos – Frog On My Toe Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| i think it's a song about reminiscing your dead father. I think the girl's in the cemetery and she's visiting her dead father's grave and while she's there, she sees this frog Jethro (i don't know, frogs tend to be in wet and gloomy places like cemeteries) | |
| Tori Amos – Strange Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| well, the romantic in me can easily equate this to a love story wherein the lovers are having a fall-out. Only one of the lovers try to hold on as his partner is slowly slipping away. In some relationships, there is a time where the lovers become more distant to each other. | |
| Tori Amos – Merman Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
i'm a filipino and in context with my culture, for me, Merman is a song about gays.. well, it's like this. Here, a common slang for an effeminate gay guy is 'sirena' or in English, mermaid. Well, merman could be related to this. "go to bed the priests are dead now no one can call you bad" For me, it means that the merman must not worry any longer about being stigmatized or ridiculed about his sexuality (which still happens a lot here). Priests could refer to the alleged biblical doctrine that homosexuality is a sin so by the priests drying, it means that there are no longer oppressors. "he's a merman he doesn't need your voice to cross his lands of ice" gays could stand out alone even without the need of the people around them, fighting for equal rights. Lands of ice could refer to the 'coldness' and apathy of homophobics. "who could ever say you're not simply wonderful who could ever harm you sleep now" For me it means that gays must now be more comforted and at ease because we're living in a more tolerant society. It also says that even being gay is a wonderful thing as all humans are.. ^__^ This is one of my most favorite Tori Amos song. The intentional interpretation of tori may be different from mine but this is just my personal opinion, how this song spoke to me since I'm gay too ^__^ go Tori!!! |
