She told me not to step on the cracks
I told her not to fuss and relax
Well, her pretty little face stopped me in my tracks -Two women had sex, but the one who was denying her feelings for the other woman 'the girl with one eye' was straight. It was the first time she had done anything like this so the person singing the song is basically telling her to chill out. The 'pretty little face' conveys the innocence of this girl
But now she sleeps with one eye open
That's the price she paid
The girl has to be wary because after doing this she doesnt want to lose the fact that she is straight and give in to her sexuality. She has to be careful and thats her punishment for having sex with this woman
I took a knife and cut out her eye - Cut out her eye i think means that she has changed her view on the world
I took it home and watched it wither and die - destroyed her innocence
Well, she's lucky that I didn't slip her a smile- lucky i didnt make her fall for me
I said, hey, girl with one eye
Get your filthy fingers out of my pie
I said, hey, girl with one eye
I'll cut your little heart out cause you made me cry - Pie is a less crude way of saying women's privates i think. Shes basically telling her to leave her alone now because she doesnt want to have lesbain relations and the girl singing the song is not a lesbian either. They were both straight but curious so it seems, and now they want nothing to do with each other - they have caused eachother pain
I slipped my hand under her skirt
I said don't worry, it's not gonna hurt - i think that this has a deeper meaning. i reckon that she is telling her she wont break her heart or mess her up, but in the end she did.
Oh, my reputation's kinda clouded with dirt - reputation for sleeping around and doing things like this
I'll cut your little heart out cause you made me cry - they screwed eachother over. it was just about sex and fun for one of them but the other had deeper feelings
That's exactly what i thought when i first listened to this song!
However i think one of them-possibly the lesbian girl-is still chasing the other "innocent" one with no response.
So it's not only a song about wounded feelings but also a song about cruel revenge even in the most literal way.
We could conclude that the story unfolds simultaneously on both levels; literal and allegorical.
