I think it was written about Courtney’s relationship with Kat Bjelland. They were like sisters, but she didn’t feel Kat always treated her right. Courtney describes herself as a hideous scar on Kat’s back; something you don’t want but can’t get rid of. Courtney and Kat used to fight over the ‘babydoll’ look (“Better burn that dress sister”), boyfriends, and even the music they wrote (Ever noticed the similarity between Hole’s ‘I Think That I Would Die’ and Babes In Toyland’s ‘Ariel’?) She doesn’t want Kat to treat her badly anymore, so she says “Better watch your back, sister”
