wow, I was really hoping there was more about this song. I've always thought it's sung through the eyes of a girl who's at the funeral of a family friend who molested her (not to suggest these things did or didn't happen to Tori). He had an ongoing relationship with this young girl who was a friend of his own young daughter. When the girl punched his daughter in the nose (an outburst you would expect from an abused child), he defended his plaything, not his own daughter, hence:
"you know she deserved that nose
splattered and swattered blood in my hands
not a nice day for your little girl
but you came to my aid instead."
Now she's at the funeral and bitter about the loss of her child hood + emotional trauma that still haunts her:
"girls go to their parties
I don't care
cause I'm with you
still"
I think the tone is very sarcastic and the baby-voice spoken word at the end is very appropriate and in keeping with my read of the songs meaning.
I'd love to hear more thoughts on this.
