According to Tori, she did not say "Not a chance." she really said "F**k you" to she who told her Marianne was dead. Of all songs, this is her clearest, despite little poetic free associations about weasels and monkeys. This song is powerful and realistic, and very very sad. I had a friend named Liz who died of a heroin overdose last year - a nice kind suburban girl who closeted her depression, and to this day, nobody really knows whether or not it was suicide or accident. This song reminds me of Liz.
I saw her play at the Santa Barbara Bowl and before she sang this song she told a story about Marianne, a childhood friend, who killed herself. And it was her mother who called to tell her the news and she did say "Fuck you" to her mom. I don't remember much more about what she said. I think she gave more detail than that.

@j3ebrules I am sorry for your loss. This song means something entirely new to me now hearing it after losing my childhood girlfriend to a heroin overdose this year as well. It makes me sad to think back on when we were kids and still had our whole lives ahead of us and to know now that hers was going to be so short due to addiction. I wish I could go back in time and change the course of what happened for her.
