Cover art for Marrow lyrics by Ani DiFranco

Seems to me to be about a toxic relationship. Being a good kisser and you being a fast learner could signal to the partner trying to please her but falling short and her saying that it could float them for a pretty long time up until the day where she is done because all she felt is used and disregarded tossed out the window and that’s where her love went when he did that. This song hints to poor communication styles in the relationship. To me this song reminds me of a break up where the guy I was with for years started trying to have an internet affair behind my back. The answer came like a shot in the back. And it was a question I didn’t ask, I turned my head away to not look at the signs. I lost myself in trying to help him with the issues he was going through only to be smoked and tossed out the window and that’s where my love went. I got to the point where I wasn’t listening to him anymore, my head was too sore and my heart perforated. I had to relearn how to live alone again while being devastated. I asked myself in my own words, where was his conscience and where was my consciousness. I realized it all went back to childhood why I ended up with a guy like that. I drank my own medicine in a way and he did too. I don’t know if that makes sense, but I love this song.
