Lyric discussion by Yuyi 

Cover art for Baobabs lyrics by Regina Spektor

Awsome song, and what a wonderful analogy with the story of the book. To me, the baobabs growing out of control mean the city that is threatning to live in and raise your kids in. And, in the beggining the part about taming is perhaps, that she has been tamed by a man...she is in love...and cannot be protected because she has no thorns...(just like the rose in the book)
