I feel like all the songs I have heard by the Dresden Dolls generally are lamenting the state of women in today's modern society.

/Staring at the ceiling/ obviously means she's getting f****d, lying on her back. duh. She's trying hard not to remember the name of the [GUY] who is waking up beside her. Not to be ashamed for sleeping with him. Not to remember the time or the place, and let go of everything in the world and just feel some small joy in the moment. And if you're holding it against her that she is "promiscuous" as so many women are called, she says she's on her best behavior, sarcastically. She's taking for mother nature, sarcastically. Once her fist is in (sexually) then love is never falling over, because that's when you're most in the moment, and you feel like you're in love forever.

her only natural talent (a common phrase that refers to sex) is being wasted on her alcoholic friends. ie, MEN = alcoholic friends. Why? Because men treat women like dirt, because they can, because women let them get away with it, by not standing up for themselves. Unlock the singer in this band, who is standing up for women and women's rights. That's what she means when she says she's taking down the number of the times, so when she dies, and God sends her to hell for being a woman, she'll be the first to call him out on his bullshit. Because the bible was written very much against women. It paints Eve out to be the devil, for tricking adam. And that is what the bit about the number 6 means. 666 is the number of the beast. 8 is the number of infinity. and 3 is a number of balance. So she says 8 or 3 are much more apt for her, and women, and the universe in general, than just 6, which just demonizes women.
