Carnivore Lyrics

Cover art for Carnivore lyrics by Jewel

I love this song! Its another one that really deserves to be recorded on her albums. Its edgy, raw and full of true emotion. I really like some of the lyrics here they are so telling:

"So much space can fit in a sigh" A sigh can say a thousand words when you are in a breakup.

"Your substance has been subtracted Word by word" The more he says the less she thinks of him.

"You could only believe in embryos" He could not grasp big ideas--he was incapable of deaming.

And then the theme of our vulnerability of loving someone only to have your "pink fleshy heart" eaten by a cruel "carnivore".

My Interpretation
