I am also trying to decide whether it's a pedophilia type song, or if it is in fact about a baby.

The things that make me believe it is about her child are things such as the obvious "you'd be thirteen I'd be thirtyfive," indicating what the age of the child would be. But also, i think the "If you go, please let me know" is kind of a parent thing. A worrisome need to know where your child is. Also, when she says "I found an air vent in the bottom of a coal mine" ect, it shows that she is willing to do whatever to protect and save that child.

However, I do think this song sounds like she's in love with a 13 year old and she would do anything to be with them. The whole, "together but alone as the need for it has grown" always has made me think of people who are sexually active with each other. You need to be together but not with anyone else because you're doing the nasty. Although this seems like a silly idea to be frank, there have been creepier songs.

If this song is about a pedophile, there is more. She starts at the pedophile's point of view and ends withe the child's point of view, in the "heart on fire" part. She runs away from the pedophile, but it's too late.

An error occured.
