this song is about getting bored of the same old pap.
in this case singing the same old melody.
this could be taken as a lot fo things really, saying the same stuff all the time, having the same old conversations, or it could even be taken as if the person is bored of his/her personality, and singing the same old song. or maybe she had started getting stuck in a certain way of writing songs and she wanted to break that, thats an almost literal take on it.
in this song the part where she starts washing the dishes seems to be her breaking out of this routine and singing a different melody.
what you've said about that reflecting summin u read about her childhood sounds like its gotta be true, either way this part of the song definately gets more childlike, its like she lets go of all the adult worrys etc and just becomes a child for a while....
then theres that line, 'I close my eyes and think that I have found me'... shows implies the song has gotsummin to do with her trying to find herself...
this finding herself stuff kinda links with some of the stuff i said earlier aswell.
thats the way i got the whole musicbox analogy anyway, i'm not quite sure about some fo the lines in it though.
another way of looking at it is all to do with writing music;
the people who are trapped inside the 'mechanism' of formulaic song writing are all crying to get out of it wether they know it or not.
and that analogy can be applied to a million different things.
