Fiona Apple Lyrics


Fiona Apple released her debut album "Tidal" in 1996. She
was 18 when she released the album and the lyrics and song
meanings would show that she had the ideas and the soul of
a mature adult, and was stuck in an 18 year-olds body.
Fiona is a very grown up person for her age. With a strong
voice and an open mind she is just getting started in the
music industry and already her debut album has left fans
and the media to wonder what talent this young lady will
come out with next.

Fiona is known for her strong voice and for her talent on More...

Reviews about Fiona Apple songs
This delicate man was played with and Broken-hearted from her rejection. | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song Criminal performed by Fiona Apple

I'm here because I was looking-up the lyrics for Criminal. My interpretation...

I feel this delicate man was played with and most likley Broken-hearted from "her" rejection.
He's delicate so this was school aged/young love.

She did not care for him at the time, but wants him now.
Maybe she wants the feeling of being loved. This is the only love she ever knew.

.........
I always liked this song. Lately is on my Ipod and I've really noticed how great the DRUM-BEAT is. Now I also know the lyrics seems powerfully envoking to an innocent time.



I heart this times infinity! | Reviewer: Mandie
    ------ About the song Sleep To Dream performed by Fiona Apple

This song has been a staple throughout my getting-over-you phase after breaking up with my boyfriend a couple of years ago. I still play it whenever I start to feel like I miss him. Like the other 2 reviewers said, it's definitely empowering!

I adore her. | Reviewer: Stacey
    ------ About the song Paper Bag performed by Fiona Apple

This has to be one of her best. I've loved her music ever since I was like 7 years old, and still do. I don't think there will ever be anyone like Fiona, and if they try it'll just be a sad attempt. No one can put the same touches on their songs that she does and I just love the pure emotion behind each song. She's amazing.

I adore her, and I adore her music.

    ------ About the song Paper Bag performed by Fiona Apple

To me it's quite obvious that what she's saying here is that she wants the dude, can't or won't have him, so she just starves herself so the emotional and/or physical hunger (lust) will dissipate and be replaced by plain old hunger/preoccupation with food and finally the contented detachment of established anorexia.
"Starving works" certainly not to get him back, but to change the internal landscape and feel a sense of freedom or triumph over the desire, instead of slavedom and endless want.
At least, this is what I get from it.

    ------ About the song Paper Bag performed by Fiona Apple

Fiona Apple is known to have anorexic tendencies. This song is about thinking she found that someone to love and he doesn't love her back. People with eating disorders usually use not eating as a solution to everything as a sign of control.

She can't make him love her, but she can starve, and starving gets results. "Hunger hurts but starving works."

Yes it is about wanting someone to love her SO BAD but it is also about love in the eyes of an anorexic.

All this banter about rape and abortion... | Reviewer: J-man
    ------ About the song The Child Is Gone performed by Fiona Apple

This is a beautiful and moving song...sure.
Much of Fiona's music and deeply poetic and moving.

It seems that this song is simply about asking for the privacy needed to reflect. Children cling and need others. She is asking for her lover's absence. She wants to wallow in her newness, and experience this new person she is becoming. She is a stranger to herself. No one else can be herself, so her lover can't help her know who she really is inside. Like the child who wants to cling to others for it's identity is gone.

    ------ About the song Paper Bag performed by Fiona Apple

it's hunger for love, not for food, it's so obvious, it's about a boy she really really wants to have, but she goes away from him on porpouse (starves from love) and it hurts her, but she knows that's what's better for her because she can't handle love. and I think most of the songs of her album When the Pawn are about the same thing, just read the lyric of "the way things are", she dumped someone, and she says:

"I wouldnt know what to do with another chance
If you gave it to me
I couldnt take the embrace of a real romance
Itd race right through me
Im much better off the way things are
I wouldnt know what to say to a gentle voice
Itd roll right past me"


and if you read the lyric of love ridden:

"Nobody sees when you are lying in your bed
And I wanna crawl in with you
But I cry instead
I want your warm, but it will only make
Me colder when its over
So I cant tonight, baby"

or the lyric of "to your love":

"Please forgive me for my distance
The pain is evident in my existence
Please forgive for my distance
The shame is manifest in my resistance
To your love"

or "fast as you can":

"You say you don't spook easy
You won't go, but I know
And I pray that you will
Fast as you can, baby
Run-free yourself of me
Fast as you can"

I guess there're all about the same boy, and I can totally relate with her in those songs, I love someone, and he USED to love me (not anymore though, because I have left him so many times), And I always ran away from him because I freaked out each time he was anywhere near me, so now I'm "happier" without him, because I feel relieve, but it hurts me anyway being away from him, because he is the most amazing man I've ever known, and I miss him like hell.

and yes, she had an eating desorder, maybe like someone said in here, that's why she can relate the feeling of starve from love with the feeling of starve from food, she knows how it feels, but it's totally a metaphor.

wha is that video | Reviewer: fat johnny
    ------ About the song Not About Love performed by Fiona Apple

I am twice her age. But she really covers generations. Man she would have been a sweet hippie. What is that video of her singing in a bar and she comes off the stage and does the song on the bar room floor. She is my baby

    ------ About the song Get Him Back performed by Fiona Apple

this song makes perfect sense. people don't like to admit when they're too in to one person and they'll do whatever it takes to "get them back," but this song fits sooooo many people. so many, man. it's fucking pro.

simply perfect! | Reviewer: LiLi
    ------ About the song Oh Sailor performed by Fiona Apple

every single step of my hard times, Fiona's voice has always been there for me. and this song is specially one of her greatest hits! such as sullen girl and never is a promise. this girl is a musician genius! she's absolutely stunning, and i do agree with some of the comments up.. whenever you get to feel quite not well, Fiona's got the best medicine for it, do not displace your anger with anyone, just listen to her for once in while and you'll finally feel sooo much better!

oh, and for the record, just imagine! i'm mexican, and even me, i'm so into her music. she's great!
