Petals Lyrics

I agree that there are some dark undertones to this song, which might be about rape, but I think it might be about how the media treated Kurt and 'tore the petals' off of him and in a way she blames the media attention for leading him to suicide. And I also think that the bit about innocence is about Frances and how she worries that the media will do the same things to her that they did to Kurt. Especially the 'She's too pure for the likes of this world, this world is a whore.' I really love this song.
