| Uhhh, what? "The heart was rejected to the host." This happens all the time in surgeries, afterward. The transplanted organ will be rejected by the host. Usually happens when you don't have the right type (i.e. marrow transfusions.) | |
| Tori Amos – Tombigbee Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| If you read about the Trail of Tears, the Native Americans were gathered from their origins all around the US and literally walked to Oklahoma. by armed forces to live there. So I think it's sarcastic in saying "roll me a carpet from here to Oklahoma." There was dignity in the way they were transported at all. A complete uprooting. | |

This verse : I got down on myself Working too hard Driving myself to death Trying to beat out the faults in my head What a mess I've made Sure we all make mistakes But they see me so large that they think I'm immune to the pain always makes me think of her fighting against the public/media, esp. the last line. |

Hello. I was just calling to say hello to you. And let you know I'm thinking about you. You should call me when you get this message I like to hear your voice (Baby, call me.) I just wanted to call back and see how you're doin'. You're probably in another interview, but uhm Give me a call back if you can, when you get a chance. I have work but I just want to talk to you.

I heard that his current girlfriend had just called him and told him that she was cheating on him. Ten minutes after, he recorded this. Anyone know if it's true? |

| Tori Amos – Blood Roses Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I'm sure it's not completely about that. Did you read the quotes above? This obviously also has to do with Tori Amos's sadomasochism sexual urges, her rape, and the break up with Eric Rosse. | |

| Tori Amos – Tombigbee Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Makes me think of 2 main things. 1. The Trail of Tears, when Native Americans were forced into Oklahoma from all over the United States by the Indian Removal Act of 1830 signed by President Andrew Jackson. You can read more about it on wikipedia if you're not familiar. [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trail_of_Tears ] All the lyrics point to this, such as : [ i'm raising you five a hundred treaties, signed by your father's lies : who made you go, cause i'm trailing her tears. the ones you won't hold. you roll me a carpet, boy. roll me a carpet, boy. roll me a carpet from here to oklahoma ] -- Jackson is the father of lies who Tori is challenging in her song. [to you it's another day to me it's a grim reaping. just another shooting star strung out on your wire] -- The government just uses the Native Americans, who are pretty much defeated when it's a normal day for the rest of America. [ so you get done then you get some. should have known it won't hold you for long. then you say fine, this is all mine. ] -- Once the government has finished their wars and they reap the benefits, the Native Americans know that it's not enough. The "man" always wants more. In fact, they give Oklahoma to the Native Americans to pretty much say it's all theirs. This could be taken either way though, in that all the rest of America now belongs to the man, so fine, it's all mine. 2. Some sort of love affair or a rape of some sort. Maybe both considering she's talking about Native Americans and the kind of America that was around before it was colonized. The land, the people, everything being raped. [ got a blackberry stain and they're not even in season. if you're not yet a woman, you've got no business playing at this ] -- Implying dark stains such as blackberries when they're not in season makes me automatically think of blood in a most violent and sexual way. Someone is being sexually abused. The line about being a woman makes me think that even adolescent Native American women were sexually abused by soldiers. [ tombigbee, tombigbee help me hang these bones, gotta hang these bones out to dry. he loved me, he loved me, ravishingly low. gonna hang these bones out to dry ] -- Dry out the bones makes me think of the civilization dying itself. All we have our these dusty old bones with the help of tombigbee, the river, who was there to guide us to Oklahoma. He loved me, ravishingly low refers to the government and how they were "kind" enough to spare all the great wide land of Oklahoma for 20,000 or so people who had the whole of America beforehand. |

| Tori Amos – Fire To Your Plain Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I definitely think the song is about a relationship, to a degree. While everyone else thinks it's about a love triangle that Tori is in, I beg to differ. There are also a lot of biblical kind of references. It sounds like Tori is there to save this woman who is in this tug-of-war relationship. [ Shock, got the shock of my life ] -- A revelation, or just that the speaker can see right through this man that her friend is with. [ Cause she's up and I am low. Watching you watching her play this game. ] -- The girl is "up" on love, but the speaker is low because she can see what's happening. Which basically sounds like Tori is watching this man as he also watches his girl jump through hoops for him. [ But she's bold enough to set fire to your plain ] -- A warning to the man. You better watch out, says the speaker, because this little girl that you think you can toy with ... well, she can set fire and destruction to this all at any moment. [ Pray, you can pray to your "J." I put out the call, but not to be saved. Called my Devilin' kin with her yellow Astin Martin. "we gotta get this right" I gotta get this right. ] -- The speaker tells everyone to look for salvation by praying to "J" (Jesus, obviously.), but that she would much rather rely on her flesh and blood girl. She says that they ( her and the girl she is watching/protecting ) have got to get this right. I take that to mean she's going to try to get some light shed on the situation, or just get away. [ she said, 'Get in and set the SAT-NAV to hell." Or would it be Purgatory. ] -- The girl tells the speaker to set the navigation to hell, presumably because that's where she is with this man, a literal hell. Then she says, "Or would it be purgatory." I take this to mean that their (the girl and man) state of affairs is so static and stymied that there's no movement in the relationship. All in all, I think it's a song about sisterhood and being there when someone's trying to destroy your dearest and nearest friends. |

| Tori Amos – Liquid Diamonds Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I had someone very dear to me betray all of his friends, including myself. So I look at this song in a dual context, like I do with so many of Tori's songs. It is about her miscarriage, but it is also about betrayal and deception for me. "And if your friends don't come back to you. And you know that this is madness." |

|
I figured it was about prostitution. I was joking about the vampirism. Though, if you wanted to argue about the "I give love," you could simply think of it in terms of how a human would service a vampire. Both by bloodletting and sexually. The great things about songs is how everyone can interpret them to whatever they like. |

| Broken Social Scene – Looks Just Like The Sun Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I always take songs in a very interpersonal way, even if it is self-centered because that's how I connect with the songs. He looks just like the sun, but that doesn't mean he is the sun. This expression could be because in someone else's eyes, he could be glorified or they could be in love with him. [Heart is pounding in his chest / reaches suddenly for his gun / Ship is sailing in the west / A flower that would be his fun] -- A sense of panic, searching for his gun suddenly. Going west, he comes across a girl, obviously. [Tree of antlers on his head / Weary red split-open eyes / I'm on the corner thinkin' 'bout my bed / He just stands there and signifies ] -- Mass of problems in his head or maybe a lot of worries. The red eyes make me think he's drunk or fucked up. While I'm busy wondering about sleep, he's just there as a meaning to me. [ Gold and red, the colours change / And she can't forget / Turning back I thought I knew someone / You better check your watch / I think it's time you left / In darkness still, It's obvious to everyone / Looks just like the sun ] -- The seasons change, I can't forget. You think you know everything about someone, but when you find you don't, you tell them to get the fuck out. Still in my darkest hours, I think about you and how you look just like the fucking sun. |

Definitely about suicide or at least wanting to die. "you know how a finger folds and you know what you need to breathe our hands catch on everything when we're not asleep" Makes think about pulling the trigger, breathing carbon monoxide, and how you look for all kinds of ways to end it when you're awake. Still one of my fucking favorites. |
