I never understood why people thought the line "she sees her father holding her down" implied sexual abuse. If you interpret that line differently, the song goes in a completely other direction. I always took that line to mean someones father is holding her back, keeping her down, preventing her from hurting herself. Perhaps she even wants to kill herself at the loss of her fame and her father prevents her from doing so? So, instead, she just lays in her bed and lets herself drown, be miserable. That line does not have to mean sexual abuse and Lindsey has never implied that it does so. It could be about Anne, it could be about starlets in general. However, the main reason people started thinking this song was about AH was because they interpreted that one line to be about sexual abuse. At that time in her career, AH was on the rise. Her career was just starting. She certainly would not have been sitting home, looking at her face in an OLD magazine, reminiscing about what she used to have. (1992/93) AH would have been dreaming about what was to come, what she was working towards.
IMHO, the song is more about fame in general. How when someone depends on their fame for complete fulfillment and then they lose that fame, they really are left with nothing tangible.
