OK, so I've had some time (and some wine) to think about this song.

The painting I linked to in my post above: I can't help but wondering if it had some influence on Blood Roses. To me, it seems such a perfect fit: Blood Roses to me describes promises that were never fulfilled (can't forget the things you never said) as in Tori's wish to have children - the bleeding roses in the womb area emphasise this perfectly. There may have been unspoken issues between her and Eric. I do remember her saying in a '98 interview that her next career step was to be a mother. This is my interpretation only of course.

And (I may be completely off-track)
"you think I'm a queer"
I don't know if this is 1) meant as a derogatory term for homosexual, or 2) simply to mean that her ex has told her she's weird, and she's replying with "well, you're weird!" If it's meant to be the first instance, then it could be a rebuttal to someone refusing to sleep with her, or could be she's refused to sleep with him and this is them fighting about it. There are men in the world who assume that if you don't want to shag them then you're gay.

I also echo the love for the line "shaved every place where you've been"

It's quite final, it's erasing any evidence of sexual contact...

Long story short, I listen to this song when I feel angry about a past relationship (see: ex-boyfriend poster) and I need to let out. It is Tori at her most beautiful and demonic.
