Peeping Tommi Lyrics

Cover art for Peeping Tommi lyrics by Tori Amos

I feel this song is about a woman dissociating herself from sex and men. She'll go through the motions physically but she's left her body and she's watching lifelessly through distant eyes... almost like a voyeur. She's self protecting. She's torn by memories of another man- not good memories.

Just breathe/ She's willing... it's like a mantra to help through a panic attack/anxiety in sexual situations. Keep breathing, you are not being forced to to do this. Deep breaths, you are going to be okay.
