Songs for Pele is an album about abuse. Abuses interpersonal, intergenerational and of the self.
In this song, Tori is playing the part of an innocent girl who "... together we'll make mother well" and "as long as your army keeps perfectly still" - the girl is calling the arm an "army". She is coining the articles involved in this heavy topic in a child like manner and perspective.
Yes, the song is about opiates. "I got me some horses to ride on." And "your demons can't go there".
