Write about the Tori songs that you personally relate to. Here are mine:
Precious Things - I relate to Precious Things because this song reminds me a lot of middle school. The whole deal with girls picking on me and guys never wanting me and the insecurity of all that.
China - The song China reminds me of my situation with my blankette friend, Nicole. I don't know where she is. I don't know how near or how far but I can feel her sometimes.
Tear In Your Hand - This song reminds me of how much people affect me. Some people seriously control my emotions. The metaphor of holding a tear in your hand...controlling my emotions. When your heart is stolen by someone, they can do what they want with it, and in this case, people have definitely broken it.
Little Earthquakes - With Little Earthquakes, I feel that a lot of it is about things messing up too quickly and then ending and that happens in a lot of the relationships I've had. I find someone and I'm so fuckin' optimistic and then all of a sudden, it fucks up and I'm back in "pieces" again...I'm alone again.
Sugar - Sugar is David, plain and simple. This guy was my sugar. I take the song Sugar as a metaphor for something you crave that isn't good for you if you have too much. Sometimes you just want someone in your life but you want it to be secret and you only want it for a short time and that's what I felt like with David.
Take To The Sky - In this song I feel like it's about someone avoiding conversion and I do it all the time when people start talking at me about their religions...I just wanna leave because I don't believe in it at all and frankly, I don't want to hear it.
Upside Down - Plain and simple--I've always felt different and left out and I feel that this song expresses that.
God - I don't believe in Christianity at all and this song expresses the belief system being questioned and unapproved.
Bells for Her - The most relative song to me. This song cuts to the core of me. I had a best friend named, Nicole and we basically shared the same heart and now she's gone. It's about the slipping away from each other and this song definitely understands the situation.
The Waitress - Sometimes I feel this violent urge to kill someone too. The darkness does indeed live in everyone.
Cornflake Girl - I was picked on in elementary and middle school and I wish I could go back with the confidence I have now and show them who's boss but you can't do anything about the past so I must live on. I just know that I don't have any respect for people who get off on betraying other people. Although I do believe in revenge immensely.
Cloud on my Tongue - The part the sticks to me the most is "circles and circles again thought I was over the bridge now". I seem to keep repeating myself in lots of relationships. I get into the same fucked up situation and then they're gone.
Yes, Anastasia - I only really understand and relate to one line in this song and this is "we'll see how brave you are". That line helped me through a great transition my freshman year. This may be ridiculous to everyone, but it was truly a big deal for me. All my elementary and middle school life I have been afraid of what people think of me when I'm in gym class because let's be honest, it's a battle ground most of the time for the "lesser" ones but then one day I stopped caring and I made a goal during floor hockey and I will always be proud of that moment. I thought of, "we'll see how brave you are" and I come to that quote in harsher situations a lot.
Black Swan - The lines "ride on friends of the black swan" and "did Eric call by the way?" remind me of talking my friends' ears off about my relationship problems and then when I was done wining about him and saying I was over him, I'd ask about him again.
Caught a Lite Sneeze - The depression of not getting what you wanted out of a situation and feeling unwanted is what relates me to this song. That this relationship was very little and you made it more than it was and now you're hooked. It's hard to explain but I thought I was going to be with this guy and he was Mr. Perfect and it all came crumbling down when he rejected me after leading me on.
Doughnut Song - Doughnut Song and Caught a Lite Sneeze a very similar to me. They are both about the disappointment of losing someone you felt you actually never had in the first place. The feeling that you put into it they didn't put. Basically the same story as the Caught a Lite Sneeze one. I was jazzed up about the relationship and he wasn't and I was rejected.
Putting The Damage On - I've always seen this song as watching an ex with their new interest or girlfriend or boyfriend and whenever I see this happen it breaks my heart in half. Very bitter.
Twinkle - I always think of this song when I see a star because I think of a quote from an American Doll book I read when I was in elementary school called Meet Kirsten where she told her friend to look at the sun once in a while and know that she is looking at the same one. Even though I never told my blankette friend about this, I always think of her when I see a star and hope she's watching the same one so we have a connection.
Jackie's Strength - This song is something Tori and I can really connect on as 2 women hoping for relationships to work. This is more of a future thing for me though. I fear I will never find Mr. Right or get married and all that jazz and I really want this to happen but it really scares me that I'm 18 and I haven't even come close to having a serious relationship.
Northern Lad - The line "if you could see me now" always gets to me because of how much I've changed since I last saw my blankette friend and even though this song is about a past love romantically, it fits perfectly with my blankette friend that I miss dearly. The line "you don't show much these days" and "I loved the secret places, but we don't go anymore" reminds me of our slow drift apart.
Cooling - I always listen to Cooling when I'm mad and I need to calm down. This song is the 2nd more serene song I've ever heard (Merman is the first). I go into complete peacefulness hearing this song. It's exactly like Tori said, "the volcano is cooling" A mad person is settling down.
suede - This song is about connection through time and space for me and I feel that my blankette friend and I are still infact together, under each others' skin.
1000 oceans - I miss my blankette friend, Nicole like no other and I seriously would cry a thousand oceans if that's what it took to sail her home.
a sorta fairytale - I believe every relationship you have with a person is a fairytale, we're all stories in our lives and sometimes stories end and sometimes they continue like soap operas but they always have an impact. Like Tori said, "people walk in and out of your life". That's what it's been to me. Everyone matters.
Wednesday - This song reminds me of my relationship with David. He was everything I didn't like in a guy at a typical high school. He was cocky, he picked on people, he was aggressive, etc. But nonetheless, I fell in love with him and you can't reason with love.
Crazy - With David again, it's that kind of craving for him. This song reminds me of "Sugar" because it's an adventure that you go on together that later you want to erase from reality and just keep in your mind so no one knows but the 2 of you.
pancake - This song makes me think of everything I loathe about organized religion and the power it has other people and the ridiculous rules and sacrifices.
mrs. jesus - A huge difference between Scarlet's experience with mrs. jesus than mine but I've had a few of them in my life and they just come in and basically pick you up and make everything alright.
gold dust - I feel gold dust all the time. Everywhere you go kind of echoes whether you recognize it or not. But what really gets to me is when you haven't been in a certain place in a long time and it's sacred to beings that you spent it with. Like Ridgewood Pool, that was a main place for my blankette friend and I and whenever I see that pool, which isn't often, I get this gold dust flying around me. The memories.
Indian Summer - Sometimes I feel I need to shout it out to people that they don't have to sacrifice themselves or listen to these rules to be accepted in Heaven. There are other ways to pray as Scarlet says.
Cars and Guitars - Situations that could be resolved but are just given up on. This is what frustrates me because it has happened before-many times. But the one that strikes me is with my blankette friend, Nicole. Even though the whole "Bells for Her" metaphor there is that it cannot be resolved, when you take it into "Cars and Guitars" I think it really can. If only we had sat down and talked about it. But we were just far too young and foolish at the time. Maybe the "Cars and Guitars" will come to us some day.
Witness - When all the craziness between my blankette friend, Nicole and Mahsa, who I call The Waitress just to keep the Tori metaphors goin', I truly imagined a courtroom and have written a short story about it as well. Anyways, I imagined this courtroom where I could question them and get to the bottom of this twists and confusions within our relationship and the situation and this is just a wish for me, this song.
Martha's Foolish Ginger - I'm very much of a "What if this happened?" person and this song definitely presents that for me with the line, "If those harbor lights had just been a half a mile inland who knows what I would have done."
Goodbye Pisces - The whole saying goodbye or closing the book on an era is very heartbreaking...it's bitter sweet and I've felt that before.
Precious Things - I relate to Precious Things because this song reminds me a lot of middle school. The whole deal with girls picking on me and guys never wanting me and the insecurity of all that.
China - The song China reminds me of my situation with my blankette friend, Nicole. I don't know where she is. I don't know how near or how far but I can feel her sometimes.
