| Tori Amos – Crucify Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| The line "just what God needs...one more victim" is clearly against God. I think that's wrong. It should be against people who put religious expectations so extremely high. God doesn't expect anything from us. He loves us without a condition but it's always been people's favourite hobby to veil that. | |

I understand what you say. I do the same. When I don't look good I look in the mirror and tell myself I'm worthless. When somebody doesn't want me, I tell myself I'm not good enough and cut my skin (I know it's not good but I can't be without it at the moment). The worst thing is, I'll never be good enough for myself or everyone else. It's an emotional crucification. And every time you hurt your body or soul it's like driving another nail into your hand. The problem is with hands pierced to a cross you can't move. You kill the possibility to be free. It's bad but I can't stop it. I think I'm going to see a psychiatrist soon but I know I'm just one in thousands of persons who do this. |

The first thing I had to think about was self-injury. "I can be cruel, I don't know why" -You can be cruel with yourself, you hurt myself but you can't really explain why. Why you have to do it, why you are like that. "Why can't my ba.ll.oo.n. stay up in a perfectly windy sky?" -When there are problems and "the balloon falls" you get back to self-injury. You wonder why you can't just stay happy, why you always fall down again. "So don't give me respect don't give me a piece of your preciousness." -You don't feel worthy, not like you deserve someone's respect. And when you're treated respectlessly you just think "So don't give me respect -I don't deserve it" It's such a sarcastic line somwhow. xD This song is describing my feelings so well. :D Tori Amos has the talent to put a lot of pain in a single song, almost a bit like Kurt Cobain (R.I.P. <3). But that thing about the media sounds sensefull, too. My own interpretation will still be self-injury. |
