Bliss
Father, I killed my monkey >>>>>>
I let it out to >>>>>> taste the
sweet of spring >>>>>> wonder if
I will wander out >>>>>> test my
tether to >>>>>> see if I'm still free
>>>>>> from you
steady as it comes >>>>>> right
down >>>>>> to you >>>>>> I've said it
all >>>>>> so maybe we're a Bliss
>>>>>> of another kind
lately, I'm in to circuitry >>>>>>
what it means to be >>>>>> made
of you but not enough for you
>>>>>> and I wonder if >>>>>> you
can bilocate is that >>>>>> what I
taste >>>>>> your supernova juice
>>>>>> you know it's true I'm part
of you
stead as it comes >>>>>> right
down to you >>>>>> I've said it all
>>>>>> so maybe you're a 4 horse
engine >>>>>> with a power drive
>>>>>> a hot kachina who wants
into mine >>>>>> take it with your
terracide >>>>>> we're a Bliss >>>>>>
of another kind
I think this song is about that special place in your brain and heart that stays sacred. Not even your closest will ever be able to touch.
Here's Tori's description of it:
"Sometimes, when you express thought to people, you leave it open for somebody to tromp in there and start tearing it down. I sing, Father I killed my monkey, to lead off the song, which explains that sometimes you even destroy your own so they can't excavate it. When I was growing up, I started becoming very secretive about my thoughts and the sensory world I would go to, because there's a lot of mind control that goes on constantly, people wanting access: 'What are you thinking?' So sometimes I'd have my own defense going, which would be to look them straight in the eye and make them think I've killed my imagination. But it's like, I'll take control."
-- Tori; AP Magazine, Oct 99
“To me it’s not just about the biological father, but also the authority figure, whoever it is that I put in that position. Bliss is really about control, and about certain things in our DNA that you can’t use a strainer to get rid of. You can’t separate completely from whoever made you, because they’re a part of you.” [Mojo - November 1999]
