Love this cover, it's amazing. I think it's about a lonely girl. So sad. 'Her never-born child haunts her now as she speeds down the freeway' is such a sad line. I think HawaiianHigh described it really well. It's about a girl who's been so hurt she's afraid to love again - because 'love was her great disappointment'. The rattlesnakes symobolise danger, perhaps just men in general (after all, snake, penis, c'mon.) She's scared of men, scared falling in love and getting hurt again. The 'she reads Simone de Beauvoir in her American circumanstance' line is such a good one, and very telling I think, given de Beavoir is a feminist.
