First: thank you all. You guys are awesome. I happen to disagree. This song has at best loose strings attached to Alice. This is more personal and more profound. The center of this song is " as a man don't you find". Whether you agree or not, this is how Tori introduces her final statements. As a man, I would use that expression with someone I am unable to communicate with. And this is the center of this song, because if Tori was the object of abuse, she would have been smarter than ever publish such a song. But complete lack of communication makes sense, and all the rest follows, in a fantastic flows of accords... Does every boy smokes to cry is the best description of a paper-macho thus far. No other song ever made me question myself but this one. What does that mean?
