I'm Not Your Doll #

Background #

I wrote a lot about dolls and dollhouses when I was a teenager. I’ve kind of gotten over the imagery as I got older; partially, I think, because I’m learning about what those metaphors meant to me as a writer. We talk a lot about my music in therapy; I go weekly or bi-weekly, depending on how I’m doing. My music is sometimes extremely forward and sometimes draped with metaphor and sometimes even I don’t really know what the fuck I’m talking about until later in my life. I have a lot of secrets, even from myself, that effect my day to day life and how I interact with the world to an unbelievable degree. Looking back on my songs later gives me a clue as to how I deal with those secrets, and what I need to work through as an adult. This song is a sweet little update on that theme: I’m not in the dollhouse anymore, nor am I made of salt, so me and the Orchestral Kit in Logic have some shit to say.
