| Tori Amos – Little Earthquakes Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
|
a relationship is crumbling slowly to bits not through some big event but little things every day. like fights in an apartment that end in her leaving, wondering what happened and why she has to watch their love dissolve, as the elevator music plays in the background. i can picture a lady angrily pushing the glowing buttons and sitting alone in the momentary safety of an enclosed space, composing herself, makeup running... |

| Tori Amos – Happy Phantom Lyrics

i didn't think of the happy phantom as actually being dead. i thought of it more as a relationship that didn't work out that she still wants to have. she knows "the time is getting closer, the time to be ghost" she has to disappear and fade away, cuz he's got someone new now and she's not in his life or his heart anymore. although the other way makes a lot of sense too. |

did tori ever go through a divorce? china sounds like two married people drifting. a few other songs on little earthquakes i also interpreted as the divorce(d) situation.
"you're right next to me but i need an airplane... funny how the distance learns to grow" those are my favorite lines. it's so true that you can be sitting right beside someone and have it be no better than if you were thousands of miles away. |

"what if i'm a mermaid" i always took to be referring to her hair. i know as a kid i would always have wondered aobut that if i had bright ariel-orange/red hair. i'm not sure when that came out though. also "stripped of my beauty and the orange clouds raining in my head" i thought was about her hair. maybe it's just so pretty i get distracted... haha. |
