CRUCIFY every finger in the room is pointing at me I
wanna spit in their faces then I get afraid of what that
could bring I got a bowling ball in my stomach I got a
desert in my mouth figures that my COURAGE would
choose to sell out now I've been looking for a savior in
these dirty streets looking for a savior beneath these
dirty sheets I've been raising up my hands drive
another nail in just what GOD needs one more victim
why do we crucify ourselves every day I crucify myself
nothing I do is good enough for you crucify myself every
day and my HEART is sick of being in chains got a <br>kick for a dog beggin' for LOVE I gotta have my <br>suffering so that I can have my cross I know a cat
named Easter he says will you ever learn you're just an
empty cage girl if you kill the bird I've been looking
for a savior in these dirty streets looking for a savior
beneath these dirty sheets I've been raising up my <br>hands drive another nail in got enough GUILT to start
my own religion please save me I CRY . . .
This is Tori's description of "Crucify"
"Bells started going off every time I wouldn't stick up for myself. I accepted Quasimodo was a squatter in my cerebral area. A rhythmic pattern kept chasing me around. I dug out the drum machine and put the pattern down. I would leave that pattern on for hours while I just sat and argued with myself about stuff. The first music to get put to the pattern was the 'B' section, 'I've been looking for a savior'....a door opened and the demons started to show up."
"I would get taken advantage of. You know, do things for somebody, and ... they walk over you, or ... want to make you feel like nothing. ["Crucify" video clip] I do think that there're times when we can all be pretty abusive, and we can be those victims, and we change roles with ourselves."
Got enough guilt to start my own religion: "I have that guilt still. I'm still working through this idea of giving myself completely to this man I'm with because he is my best friend and someone I respect. Yet he is also someone I need to slam me against a wall and fuck me. And love me as well. The concept of both being part of the one relationship is still hard for me to accept. Because I've been taught that being fucked against a wall, or anywhere, is not love. Who the fuck thought up *that* idea? That notion has kept marriages from working, people from giving to each other and both sexes under control for centuries."
...Tori Amos
This is my interpretation of "Crucify"
"I think she's about how hard we are on ourselves sometimes. Sometimes people never give themselves a break. Sometimes we even put it on ourselves and then wonder why we've done this to ourselves. Sometimes we can do something about it and we don't because in a way we can't or don't want to."
...Julie H.
My experience with "Crucify":
"This guy that I quote-unquote "like" has a girlfriend and I had a chance with him last year but I didn't take it, and in one way I feel good about it, and in another I feel like I could've had a real journey with him. So, I stare at him being affectionate with his girlfriend and I don't know why I'm doing this, because I'm really just hurting myself."
