"Everyone has experience with doctors. That's a hard question, am I skeptical of doctors? I go to doctors. Yes, I am skeptical of doctors in certain way. I mean, I go to them like everyone else but I think there's a relationship between the doctors and the album and the fact that some of the characters on the album are abused for example. Usually the first signs of abuse you know for example if the child is abused, you go to the doctor and the doctor is the first one to pick up on the clues. And a lot of times the doctor can't or won't want to get involved. So, that's the link there. I don't have anything against doctors and the medical profession certainly." Suzanne Vega at The Learning Annex, 1995 "And it's really a song about not being able to communicate with someone because of feeling anxiety and fear. That's what that song is about in a nutshell." Suzanne Discusses Each Song on Tried and True september, 1998 |

"It's really a simple song. It's a song about flirting with someone. It's not a song really about illness although some people seem to think it is. It's really more about flirting with someone and feeling that things could be heading in a certain direction, you might say." Suzanne Discusses Each Song on Tried and True september, 1998 |

"The song is about flirting. It's a flirting kind of song. It's a song looking at another person and saying these are qualities that you could be, that you could have within you. These are the things that I see. It's putting a glamorous light on someone's character. Saying these are the things that, when I look at you, these are the things I see. It's like taking someone's basic nature and making it more than it actually is." The Suzanne Vega - Leonard Cohen Interview, October 1992 |

| Suzanne Vega – As Girls Go Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Suzanne Vega said: "The person I was writing about [in "As Girls Go"] was not a drag queen. She was a girl, she was just this very fascinating woman, and she's utterly beautiful and there's this odd, I don't know what you'd call it, chemistry I guess, between us, because she was a waitress and I would come in and she would sort of flirt with me, which I remember feeling a little odd, especially after I found out she wasn't really a girl. Someone I knew had gone out with her and discovered that she was not a girl, but no one knew how far the whole thing had gone. But she was utterly charismatic and she was probably one of the most beautiful people I had ever seen, very graceful. But it wasn't like she was a drag queen, like the whole thing you think of a drag queen. She was a person who had turned into a very feminine being. And in fact on the last day she worked at the restaurant she told me that she was very confused and was going to go on a very long trip... and I just really felt for her."

Deep Freeze is written with capitals in the lyrics, Suzanne explains the concept: "My worst fear is to be frozen, and I mean it in a physical way and also a spiritual way. When I was a child I used to have this state that I would call "hitting the Deep Freeze", which meant that I was paralysed and I couldn't move. That's what I'm most afraid of, I think, and that comes out a lot in the songs." |
