Strong Black Vine Lyrics

Cover art for Strong Black Vine lyrics by Tori Amos

I completely agree with and thought the same as notlikecrazii, about the 'strong black vine' being a whip, when I first heard the song. Think about it: submission is my mission? Tori is Abnormally Attracted to Sin? But when I saw the visualette it showed scenes from the Iraqi war mixed with scenes of Tori visiting some voodoo shop and getting her cards read. A friend of mine and I now think it's about being evil - evil that's done secretly in the dark in voodoo shops, and evil that's done in broad daylight with guns and bombs. Now I think it's a complex combination of the two interpretations.
