Vega, Suzanne - Straight Lines Lyrics

I reckon this song is about a murderess who buries her exes in a patch of grass somewhere, but is then discovered, arrested and imprisoned

Nope, it's about a woman finding her independence,
" She wants to cut through the circles
, That she has lived in before.
She wants to finally kill the delusions
,
She won't need them any more."
She is cutting her hair off as a metaphor for reinvention.

@Sid Huh. I figured the lines with the most significance were

There's a sound across the alley
Of cold metal touching skin
...
She's cut down on her lovers
Though she still dreams of them at night
She's growing straight lines where once were flowers
...
She wants to finally kill the delusions
...
There's a sound across the alley
Of cold metal too close to the bone
And you can see if you look in her window
The face of a woman finally alone
Behind straight lines

That last line always makes me think "behind bars"

@Digital Deathsquid She is contemplating suicide, but doesn't go through with it, so she cuts her hair instead. Men are the cause and reason.
It's feminism, so you might be onto a hidden message about women wanting to kill men , but it is just that simple, dark, but simple.

she's cut down on her lovers

Her lyrics, her guitar chords, her voice...perfect.
