thank you for providing actual reasons for thinking the sex-slave route. I was starting to think I was completely missing something in the lyrics...

P.S. Where did you learn about their stint in india?

Anberlin – Soft Skeletons Lyrics 15 years ago
Thankyou!
you've given me to courage to say what I've really been thinking-that this song is really talking about the republic of Ireland. Seeing as you didn't feel the need to tie ANY of the song's lyrics to your claims, I probably don't need to either!

P.S. Seriously though, where on earth did you get *that* out of the song? "little girl"?
I suppose that could be tied to child abuse...somehow.
But yeah, it's about a "young girl (probably teenage-20's) who got hooked on heroin. The "sex trade" certainly *could* go alongside drug addiction (and does quite often, serving as a tool to keep prostitutes reliant on their pimps), but two things make this irrelevant.
1) Sex workers probably comprise about 1-2% max of all heroin addicts.
2) The song doesn't ever mention sex. At all. no hints, innuendo, nothin.
If you happen to have been abused, I suppose you might see sex abuse here, but if that's the case, you probably see sex abuse in Sesame street

Wheh, got that off my chest
