I see this song as a story about a young girl who was raped and ended up pregnant, and because of the time period I think of, she couldn't be pregnant without being married so her parents found a suitor for her and she was married very young and, perhaps, she had no say in the matter because she blames herself for the rape because it is a result of her being 'restless for adventure'.
Perhaps the man she married was violent (as many husbands were back then) and so, in the third verse, she's planning for her and her daughter to leave him, but only when she's certain she can support them in their new life.
This song always makes me cry; it's so beautiful. I love Otep.
