Ani DiFranco "Adam and Eve"

Album: Dilate 1996/Living in CLip 1997

My interpretation of Ani Difranco's song; Adam and Eve. This is purely experimental, I hope you enjoy.

tonight you stooped to my level
i am your mangy little whore
now you're trying to find your underwear
and then your socks and then the door
and you're trying to find a reason
why you have to leave
but i know it's 'cuz you think you're adam
and you think i'm eve

you rhapsodize about beauty
and my eyes glaze
everything i love is ugly
i mean really, you would be amazed
just do me a favor
it's the least that you can do
just don't treat me like i am
something that happened to you

i am truly sorry about all this

you put a tiny pin prick
in my big red balloon
and as i slowly start to exhale
that's when you leave the room
i did not design this game
i did not name the stakes
i just happen to like apples
and i am not afraid of snakes

i am truly sorry about all this
i envy you your ignorance
i hear that it's bliss

so i let go the ratio
of things said to thing heard
as i leave you to your garden
and the beauty you preferred
and i wonder what of this
will have meaning for you
when you've left it all behind
i guess i'll even wonder
if you meant it
at the time

penis and testicles here, this song breaks me and brings me to the verge of tears every single time I listen to it... wish we could just be bacteria because these gender politics are killing us.

my wife is out of town on residency interviews, my twelve yr old shepherd is sleeping by my feet, the cat is snoring, my pet rats are wrestling about, it's 4am and i'm awake listening to music, listening and feeling in a way i seldom do anymore.

Ani, Adam from Counting Crows, and Eddie Vedder they're the best in my mind.

@Baxxter101 I have to be honest, I liked this just because it started with "penis and testicles" and I giggled like a pre-teen.

Thank you for sharing your interpretation. I needed to hear that song in the moment that I was in and was fortunate enough to find your video. It shined a light on a dark situation and made me reflect. Thank you again. Tim from Bristol
