The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Trouble's Lament" by the artist "Tori Amos"

Contents

In "Trouble's Lament," Tori Amos employs the allegorical figure of Trouble, personified as a young woman facing hardship and danger.

Trouble has a falling out with Satan, possibly representing oppression, addiction, or negative forces, and goes on the run. She's open to any contracts and deals to survive and find her place.

The song's narrator encounters Trouble and empathizes with her plight. She's aware of the pursuit by Danger, likely symbolizing the risks and trials that await Trouble on her journey. Danger might be connected to Satan, acting as his instrument and exploiting Trouble's vulnerabilities.

Despite the chase, Trouble remains resilient. She embarks on a journey (referenced by Tucson, Ohio, and the Tobacco Road), signifying her struggle and search for self-discovery. Ultimately, Trouble decides to fight for herself and other girls, challenging Satan's reign. She's ready to confront evil and injustice, utilizing "Saint Michael's sword" as a symbol of strength and protection.

The narrator stands with Trouble in her fight, encouraging her not to surrender in the face of adversity. She expresses a willingness to confront Danger head-on, displaying courage and determination.

The recurring line "Trouble's looking for a place to stay, girls" acts as a call for solidarity and mutual support. Amos addresses her female listeners, urging them to unite and support each other during challenging times.

Trouble needs a home girls,

Trouble needs a home.

She fell out with Satan, now she's on the run.

But I have found her quite straightforward in her contracts and her deals.

She warns me when Danger is loose behind his wheels,

and he is loose behind his wheels.

Don't cry baby (baby, baby)

Trouble got evicted from the Devil's lair.

I wager she got betrayed by her friend Despair.

Now the flames from Satan's tongue are charged and licking at her heels.

She whispers "Hey Ginger, Danger's loose behind his wheels".

And Satan knows how Danger makes you feel.

What will be will be baby (baby, baby)

You don't, you don't need to cry.

There are no tears in my eyes.

If Danger wants to find me,

I'll let him in, he can find me.

Trouble needs a home girls,

A covert abode.

From Tucson to Ohio back through Tobacco road.

And she is armed and will fight for the souls of girls around the world.

Standing up to Satan, dancing on st. Michael‘s sword.

I'm on her side in this brutal war.

Don't cry baby (baby, baby)

You don't, you don't need to cry.

There are no tears in my eyes.

If Danger wants to find me,

I'll let him in, he can find me.

Trouble needs a home girls,

Trouble needs a home.

Trouble needs a home girls, will you give her one.

Trouble needs a home

Trouble needs a home
