Tori On "Trouble's Lament"

"Trouble's Lament"
This song has been something that has really driven,
driven itself because of the story and that trouble being personified being chased by Satan, whatever he looks like to some people, I found him to be quite elusive in some ways
That we didn't really want to meet him vocally, character-wise
We wanted to have a feeling of him chasing her
so we wanted it there but there was something quite sexy
about it that we felt the track had to encapsulate as well as...
We needed this whimsy that was happening between
the narrator, who was my character,
and trouble, and trouble can be anybody,
I guess I've been trouble in my life
Most women feel like they've been that so I was
holding two positions, that understanding and
what goes with that as well as the narrator that seems to
have a relationship with danger and therefore, we were trying to make sure that the instrumentation was representing all these different detailed relationships
