Periphery Lyrics

Lyric discussion by BoxInACage 

Cover art for Periphery lyrics by Fiona Apple

To me it sounds like the periphery is the part of society where people have casual sex and meaningless relationships. If people think its worth it, they leave the periphery with someone and start a serious relationship. I think Fiona is saying that she doesn't appreciate people who don't appreciate commitment, so she stays away from the periphery.
