Her quote, cited above, is a great example of her twisted muse. She has stories in head that aren't ever fully articulated.

very true. she said once it was one of her premonition songs...she was suddenly around all these people who were doing serious amounts of drugs and they affected her. She wasn't an addict yet but I think she was seeing the possibility of becoming one.
