Carbon Lyrics

Lyric discussion by torifan711 

Cover art for Carbon lyrics by Tori Amos

She said in her autobiography that Carbon was about her friend who was molested by a parent, and she was frightened by how many ways and how deeply that could "unravel" a person. As opposed to Me and a Gun, this pain is much deeper because it was someone she trusted, and her world was turned upside down "Snow Glass Apples where nothing is what it seems"

Song Meaning

@torifan711 The "friend" who was molested was Tori. See the song Icicle.
