The plant Datura is a hallucinogen and it's like men. If you get the right amount you'll walk into the garden and become a woman, but if too much seeps in in the wrong way and at the wrong time -- it'll kill you. So yeah, Merman is that. When I was touring last year and Matthew Shepard got murdered I was dedicating it to him. A lot of guys were asking me to sing it for him and it just kinda took a life on of its own."
"It's inspired by a man with integrity, such deep integrity that I married him. It's about having someone heal your whole life. I'm talking about the times when lines have been crossed by men. Men can be dangerous, like in the song Datura about how sometimes they can bring you gold and sometimes they can be the bearer of poison. ....
Merman and Cooling are my favorites. The first time I heard Merman was on her Strange Little Girls tour in 2001. It's a real treat to see her perform Merman and Cooling live.
Simply wonderful...

this song is not about Matthew Shepard. It was written before his tragic death. Tori dedicated this song to him
