Cover art for Paper Bag lyrics by Fiona Apple

this song is about love and how sometimes being with out love is better than being in it. It just likens Love with and eating disorder. "Hunger hurts but i want him so bad it kills." Being with this useless person is making her hurt for someone yuseful but she wants him so bad that it's fine for the time being. It's not about literal hunger it's a figurative in that she wants substanse and he has nothing. Everything in her head, and nothing is in his. Falling in love with cute stupid boys are like going on an intellectual crash diet, you want someone intellgent but they are just so cute that in the end it's not worth it becuse what they lack in intellgence they try to make up for it elsewhere, and it's just so darn cute.
