That's such a beautiful line. It made me think, maybe that's what religion is. Guilt? It makes a lot of sense.
In Tori's book, she explains how her first crush was on Jesus. There are a lot of references in this song toward masturbation. "Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets." We crucify ourselves when we do things that every human does, we try to punish ourselves for doing these things because they're 'sinful.' And "Nothing I do is good enough for you" is a line that everyone can relate to. It's a cry out to God. I cry this out all of the time. How can someone expect us to do (or not do) all of these things? "Every finger in the room is pointing at me," meaning she feels accused and insecure. "I gotta have my suffering so that I can have my cross," is what made me think about masturbation. But I mean, it's not JUST masturbation, it's everything that comes in the package labeled Temptation. We shouldn't be so hard on ourselves, is what Tori is basically saying.
"Got enough guilt to start My own religion"
