Virginia Lyrics

Cover art for Virginia lyrics by Tori Amos

So many levels I'm sure. Listening to it I've come to hear a native american girl falling in love with an individual or the white people taking over her peoples land. There is love from the other side too (for the land or the individual for the individual girl) but little respect for the native american attitudes and beliefs about life. The girl actively forgetting herself. "She will betray all that she loves, and even wait for their saviour to come". Native American's being very connected to the land "Virginia do you remember when the land held your hand?". "Turquoise serpents" - spiritual wisdom. They remind me of the chakra system. Loosing the thread now but something like that maybe?
