Studying Stones Lyrics

Cover art for Studying Stones lyrics by Ani DiFranco

I love this song so much. It means a lot to me with my relationship with my mother and other people. When I was younger, I always thought I had to keep things hidden from her and everyone else because if I showed my real self I couldn't survive. I thought if I ignored my feelings, they'd go away, and this is what the line means for me: 'When all forbidden fruit has fallen and rotted, that's when I'm gonna come down.'
