Twister Lyrics
She was kind of fragile
And she had a lot to grapple with
But basically she kept
It all inside
Childlike and effervescent
With a well of pain
The depth of I could not imagine
If I tried
Never thought that I
Would hear them say
Twister went and threw it all away
She was kind of magical
Her laughter sent you casually
Floating through a moment
Of release
Dear God, it’s all so tragic
And I’ll never have the chance
To feel the closure
That I untimately need
No, I never dreamed
That there would come a time
Twister’d go and leave it all behind
Lord I pray she’s found some peace
And her soul’s somewhere at ease
Yeah I’m feeling kind of fragile
And I’ve got a lot to handle
But I guess this is my way
Of saying goodbye
And she had a lot to grapple with
But basically she kept
It all inside
With a well of pain
The depth of I could not imagine
If I tried
Would hear them say
Twister went and threw it all away
Her laughter sent you casually
Floating through a moment
Of release
And I’ll never have the chance
To feel the closure
That I untimately need
No, I never dreamed
That there would come a time
Twister’d go and leave it all behind
And her soul’s somewhere at ease
And I’ve got a lot to handle
But I guess this is my way
Of saying goodbye

Does anybody else feel that this is relating to suicide?
Well, I think it might be about anything... I always linked this song with the feeling contained in "Petals", and perhaps this one is saying "goodbye" to all that suffering that torn her apart...Maybe she's letting all go.
This song was writting about Tonjua Twist Tonjua was Mariah's dear friend and stylist for a long time, she took her own life in the spring of 2000. She was known for her joy of life and her ability to put people at ease.She was "child like and effervescent".But behind her mask of happiness was "a well" of life-long and deep-rooted pain.
In the song Mariah describes the hidden innner-struglge of her friend, and tries to find "closure"; her "way of saying goodbye"
Yep it is about Tonjua Twist
