I swear that little mega-wit kangaroo (you had to see her on stage in '95 and '96) is tearing my head off. I watched a film called "Coraline" then re-read the lyrics above. Yikes.
The parentally ignored / neglected / abandoned / unsupported little kid turns to the "invisible best friends" who didn't let her down when she "was defensless." But in adulthood, "it won't work the way it once did" if we stay in our precious illusions, invisible best friends, and histrionic approval-seeking.
Do "Alice in Wonderland" (it's coming next year... with Johnny Depp in the saddle) long enough as a child to try to deal with being left to drift... and go "mildly psychotic" (or, technically, "borderline") because you're =addicted= to the defense mechanism by the time you're ten or so.
Lord, I hope that little girl finds some peace some day. I'm a lot older than she is, writing about the same stuff (in very different fashion), and I'm still not "there" yet. Sigh.
I have never seen the video for this but If you went by the words alone it totally sounds like someone who was abused in some way and has decided not to be a victim any more.She thinks (But isn't convinced) she may have found a "knight in shining armor" that will "rescue" her like they never did. If hes what he seems to be shes ready to give up her precious illusions that helped her survive when she was a kid for something real.
