Notes:
"When I write a song like "In the Eye," I do hope that I'm writing it from the deepest place inside of me and so therefore it will correspond to someone else's. It disturbed me at first that I never wrote in that song, "I would fight you back, or pick up a stick and hit you with it'--which I might, in real life--but it just seems to me that if you make someone acknowledge that you're a person, and not a chair or a piece of wood or an object in the environment to be moved around, then it may get all the much harder for them to do whatever it is that they're doing to you, whether it's killing you, abusing you, or whatever."
