Meaning of Tori Amos's 'Cornflake Girl'

Posted by: Marcopolovitch on 01 July 2008

I have scoured the internet and my brain to help me extract some meaning from Tori Amos's 'Cornflake Girl'. Does anyone have a clue what she's on about?

Before reading this Wiki article I very much expected the lyrics to have a feminist background.

This cause about excision etc. is a noble one but otherwise I admit I am becoming slightly irritated at Tory Amos' interviews which invariably end up being about women and women's rights instead of music.

I've got no idea what "Cornflake girl" is about but sussed out "Icicle" on first listen Winker

Still reckon the best thing she ever did was "Winter" though Smile

I had also heard the same explanation as that on wikipedia.
