Thirteen Thirtyfive

Strongest taste Loudest drop Head is filled The thought, unlocked

DILLON IS DRINKING OR SMOKING THE GOOD STUFF UNTIL SHE HITS THE FLOOR. NO, SHE'S NOT DEAD YET BUT SOON SHE WILL BE.

You'd be thirteen I'd be thirty-five Gone to find a place for us to hide

DILLON WHO'S IN HER EARLY 20'S IS PREDICTING HER OWN DEATH AT AGE 35, WHEN HER SOUL WILL FINALLY UNITE WITH THE SOUL OF HER UNBORN CHILD. THE LAST LINE IS TALKING ABOUT THE FINAL RESTING PLACE FOR THE BODIES OF MOTHER AND CHILD.

Be together, but alone As the need for it has grown

THE SOULS WILL FINALLY BE UNITED, BUT THE BODIES WILL REST FAR APART DUE TO LIFE'S CIRCUMSTANCES. IT ALSO HINTS THAT THE UNBORN CHILD WHO'S NOW A TEEN MAY WANT SOME TIME ON THEIR OWN AWAY FROM THE MOTHER. DILLON IS ALREADY ACHING THAT SECOND SEPARATION.

A cave or a shed A car or a bed A hole in the ground Or a burial mound A bush or a tree Or the aegean sea, will do for me

DILLON IS SAYING HOW UNIMPORTANT HER OWN BURIAL PLACE IS TO HER.

I can say that you look pretty You turn my legs into spaghetti You set my heart on fire

NOW THESE FEW LINES ARE STOLEN OFF SOMEONE ELSE'S SONG SO NO NEED TO PAY TOO MUCH ATTENTION TO THEIR MEANING, BUT THEY STILL FIT IN WITH THE OVERALL THEME: DILLON IS YEARNING TO SEE WHAT HER UNBORN CHILD WOULD HAVE LOOKED LIKE AT AGE 13. SHE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT SHE'LL SAY AND HOW SHE'LL FEEL WHEN SHE SEES THEM.

For you I found a vent In the bottom of a coal mine Just enough space for your hands in the inside

DILLON FEELS DEEP REMORSE FOR NOT PROPERLY BURYING HER UNBORN CHILD. IN STARK CONTRAST TO THE DISREGARD OF HER OWN PHYSICAL REMAINS, DILLON IS GOING TO GREAT LENGHS TO DIGNIFY THE LITTLE FETUS REMAINS BURYING IT DEEP UNDERGROUND.

A den or a desert Perhaps an ink squirt A cellar, a wishing well, a war Or a guarantee will do for me

AGAIN, DILLON IS TALKING ABOUT HER OWN DEATH AND HOW IT DOESN'T MATTER UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES SHE DIES; EVEN IN A WAR (SOME GERMANS STILL FEEL GUILTY ABOUT WW2) OR SOME TERMINAL DISEASE OR UNAVOIDABLE ACCIDENT OR...SUICIDE (A GUARANTEE). SHE DOESN'T EVEN CARE IF HER SONGS/FAME DIE WITH HER (INK SQUIRT).

For you I found a cell On the top floor of a prison Just enough space for you to fit your feet in

DILLON FEELS AS IF SHE'S MENTALLY IN PRISON SO SHE WANTS TO USE THAT QUICK PERSONAL ASSOCIATIVE ATTRIBUTE OF HER PRISON, IMPOSSIBLE TO ESCAPE, TO HER BENEFIT, TO KEEP THE REMAINS OF HER UNBORN CHILD IN A SECLUDED PERMANENT PLACE.

If you go Please let me know

THIS IS NOW TALKING ABOUT THE SOUL OF THE UNBORN CHILD AND THE SOUL OF THE ETERNAL MOTHER WANTING TO FULFILL THE NEED OF BEING A REGULAR MOTHER AND CHILD SPENDING TIME TOGETHER EVEN WHEN THE CHILD IS NOW A TEENAGER.

I'll come running with a heart on fire I'll come running with a heart on fire

WHEREVER THE CHILD SHALL BE, SHE'LL COME RUNNING TO HIS/HER RESCUE, OR JUST TO GIVE THEM HER STRONGEST EMBRACE BEFORE DEPARTING FOR ANY AMOUNT OF TIME.
