| Tori Amos – Beauty Queen/Horses Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
Songs for Pele is an album about abuse. Abuses interpersonal, intergenerational and of the self. In this song, Tori is playing the part of an innocent girl who "... together we'll make mother well" and "as long as your army keeps perfectly still" - the girl is calling the arm an "army". She is coining the articles involved in this heavy topic in a child like manner and perspective. Yes, the song is about opiates. "I got me some horses to ride on." And "your demons can't go there". |

| Tori Amos – Father Lucifer Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| Boys For Pele. Most of the album contains themes involving pathological abuses of power, sexual abuse, powerlessness and psychologic harm. The lyrics in a few of the tracks are very graphic and confrontational. This one however hints at pathology yet is too personal to decipher. | |
