Do you know you have the face of a genius?



Suicide and Incest

Penned by Kate when she was just 17 years old, many view this as a lyrical suicide note written from the point of view of a girl who falls pregnant by her brother. She is killing herself to save him from the shame of their pregnancy: "This kicking here inside, makes me leave you behind"

A Star is Born

I like to think of this as Kate's farewell note to her former life in light of her impending fame. "This kicking here inside (her creative urges) makes me leave you behind", "Your sister I was born-you must lose me Like an arrow shot into the killer storm" of stardom.

Either way, the way she sings "old mythology he'd read" at 1.44 is bloody brilliant.
