CSI: Beautiful Childlike Victims Unit

[brad975]

While acknowledging that "All the Beautiful Worlds" is a good song (which turned out in final form much better than I'd dared to hope for), the chorus with "calm, beautiful, childlike victim" is not what I want stuck in my head. And it is! And it's a bit of a bummer.

I don't imagine Stevie singing about herself as a victim. So is that in reference to the romantic partner instead? What's your interpretation?
