2005 : 03 "Tymps (The Sick In the Head Song)" by Fiona Apple

---

Given the complexities and intelligence in Fiona Apple's lyrics, I'm sure that a thousand different people have interpreted this song in many different ways. I like my own spin on the song. In interviews, Apple has explained her fierce independence in relationships as well as her creativity. I don't have an exact quote available, but she commented on even maintaining two seperate houses if she ever got married. Here's a sample lyric: So why did I kiss him so hard late last Friday night Keep on letting him change all my plans I'm either sick in the head I need to be bled dry to quit Or I just really used to love him I sure hope that's it. For some reason, I find it comforting that anyone, especially someone as honest and authentic as Apple, can completely relapse on his/her independence based on a strong attraction for the wrong person. We've all pined for someone whom we knew wasn't right deep down, and we all have (or would have) kissed said person with just as much fervor. It doesn't matter how intelligent we are...lust wins sometimes. —Jamie Yates Listen: Fiona Apple >> "Tymps (The Sick In The Head Song)"
