Lyric discussion by Hedges 

Cover art for Dilate lyrics by Ani DiFranco

I always look at this song as Ani using her life on the road as a metaphor for her relationships. Life on the road is a completely evolving, always different at each turn and she sees her relationships as being the same while wishing for some kind of stability.

"every key works differently and i forget everytime"

btw/ i love playing this song on guitar (to bad i can't sing it). Her dropping the low E string down to an A to form an amazing resonating, strong bass note ... i love it.

This is a beautiful song.
