I think this song is about some people in her life that are helping her getting famous in the music industry, maybe a producer or something like that. They are supposed to be helping her, walking her across a fragile line, trying to help her finding the right way in a tricky business but they are not quite right for her because they are rushing her and shushing her and so she refers to them as demons and the devil. They are begging her to open up her mouth as in rushing her to write another song but she needs them so it makes the words come out mechanically, she is in a way forcing herself to write a good song for them. She talks about how she sold her soul to a three-piece (a man wearing a suit) and he told her she was holy but he has got her down on both knees, she needs his help and would at this point do anything he tells her to do but she still knows that he is the devil who is just trying to hold her down. This is what I get when i'm listening to this song, it just makes so much sense when you think about it like that. |

I think Lynn is talking to someone who is obviously very religious, religious in a bad way, one of those who tries to force their faith onto others and judges people harshly for doing things the bible doesn't approve of, in this case being gay. This person has probably told Lynn that her lifestyle is sinful and that she is going to hell for it. I get chills every time I hear this line " I think that chest must be heavy from that cross on your neck, you only wear 'cause you're weary of what comes next after you're death. I love this song and this band!! |
