Cover art for Marrow lyrics by Ani DiFranco

To me this song is about the things we fill our lives up with whil we try to just pretend or make everything normal... pretty soon things aren't about where we choose to be but where we are in terms of love and sense of self. We lose our sense of sense of self - we write letters - or make memories but at an eventual point realize the things that are wrong with the world, other people, ourselves need to be addressed... nothing is simple but this song reminds you to listen to the things you'r gut tells you and not to be surprised but to be in touch with yourself.
