Perhaps I'm some kind of a puritan, but I don't think that by "I do swallow" she means a bj. It feels like she means swallowing other things, like pride or crap from others or insults or her feelings. And though she keeps swallowing all these things, like a child who can't stand up for himself, her mama still thinks she's a grown up.
This is wonderfully sad. After i heard this song i constantly imagined myself locked up in a cell my whole life. I always force myself to remember that the people with life sentances are mostly rapists and killers. Respekt
"If Hans Christian Anderson could've had his way with me then none of this shit would have ever gone daaa-aa-aaown." She's a goddess, genius, visionary. LOVE.
I love how she treats her voice as an instrument. After listening to artists like her, i can't go back to mainstream where the singing requires no effort or talent at all.
Department of Eagles brought me here, Thumbs up!

And also, I don't think she sings about real prisoners - I think it's only a metaphore

How can she be so cute and so scary at the same time?
She's like the love child of Tom Waits and a Fallen Angel.
