| I'm not sure what it was written about but it means something to me...i guess you could say i made my own meanings up. My own meaning is in relation to sex that is forbidden between two people who aren't supposed to be together. The first verse reminds me of somebody close to me. Reading the lyrics again, it probably is about rape, the metaphors have suddenly become clear. But it's a great song anyway. I think it's probably one of Hole's best songs. | |

| this song reminds me of rape. "tear the petals off of you"= being deflowered in a violent way. | |
