Cover art for Tiptoe lyrics by Ani DiFranco

to me this song is about someone running after an abortion. i dont think its rape. its about a woman saying goodbye to the thing that was growing inside her but letting go and saying 'hey, i survived it' and leaving the view to the rats and tiptoeing back.
also, i love the sound of it, not thinking about the words.
