| To me this song is very clear. It's like you're in the House of Secrets, the new Babylon, whether it be in your homeland, your town, or your home. In the beginning I like the feel from the song, it makes you feel like a wayward spirit just wandering through the town. So everything is normal, from the horse tables to the father reading tales to the child, but what goes on behind closed doors is another story. And then all of a sudden, BOOM, she is calling for an uprising. For everyone to take a stand against the atrocities of a place gone bad. Stand up to you're values. Leave the pain behind. And dissappear. | |

| i pretty much agree with death_bunny. "shh this is our, dirty, little, secret" - usually rapists and child molesters tell kids not to tell anyone. in this song, it sounds like she's talking to herself and repeating what the father said. this idea is repeated at the end with "what happens here, stays here..." i'm not sure about the "tower of babel" allusion means though :/ | |

| "On the surface, the enemy is clear and the message is evident, but perhaps the truth is much more difficult to see or accept ... that creativity can be held hostage by a nightmare god wearing a very familiar face ... that the enemy is no longer you or them, rather the enemy of me ... is me." -- Otep Shamaya | |

| The second I heard the yelling in the beginning and saw the title I knew this was going to be about child abuse. | |

| I think there's a deeper meaning... I think it's about abuse, rape, or molestation... or maybe incest or something. "And I don't feel pretty...today" When people get sexually abused they think they're ugly and think something's wrong with them in similar ways... The blood going down her ankles... you know how when you have sex for the first few times you bleed, especially if she's a child, so the blood runs down to her ankles, and she can't run because she's either too scared or over powered... And the dad's in her room every night, and reads her fables... like lies... so she doesn't know what's going on is bad? And then at the end when Otep starts screaming I think the girl is finally fighting back and beating the hell out of her dad or whatever. ^_^ | |
