I wonder if she's talking about Virginia Woolf again? I feel like part of it is that she's finding, that being an artist, what you mean in your lyrics/writing is often misinterpreted "Send it back before the public eye/perverts it in the reading". Part of it must be influenced by their time with Native American rights advocates who have been abused by the government, FBI, etc. But I wonder if the "soldiers..coming to plunder" aren't also the public misinterpreting an artist's writing? hungrily consuming it? Is she kind of apologizing to Virginia Woolf for reading her diary, something she now wishes was never published? perverted by the nature of being made public?
