One man, he disappoint me; He give me the gouge and he take my glee. Now every other man I see Remind me of the one man who disappoint me. - Fiona Apple

You get dragged down to the bottom so many times that it just seems like that’s the safest place to be. Otherwise, people are kicking you down there. You might as well just stay down there and make a home because it’s safer here… It’s no way to live. So I guess the message in the whole record is just: Fetch the fucking bolt cutters and get yourself out of the situation you’re in, whatever it is that you don’t like. Even if you can’t do it physically.

My scars were reflecting the mist in your headlights
I looked like a neon zebra, shaking rain off her stripes

I have never been
So insulted in all my life
I could swallow the seas
To wash down all this pride
First you run like a fool
Just to be at my side
And now you run like a fool
But you just run to hide.
