Ophelia
Tori Amos · Abnormally Attracted to Sin [2009]
Ophelia you must break the chain
Some girls will get their way
Some fathers will control from the grave
Ophelia you must remember
Veronica's America is not like--
Is not like Charlotte's, one to savor
Cosmic flavor
Then Alison whispers, "remember
Change waltzes in with her sister Pain
Waiting for you to send her away
Wish her well break the chain
Break the chain"
I feel you
Ophelia
"The Eve of St. Agnes",
A poem he can't reach you in
Ophelia you know how to lose
But when will you learn to choose
Those men who choose to stay
Those mothers who won't look the other way
Ophelia you must remember
Veronica's America is not like--
Is not like Charlotte's, one to savor
Cosmic flavor
Then Alison whispers," remember
Change waltzes in with her sister Pain
Waiting for you to send her away
Wish her well break the chain
Break the chain"
I feel you
Ophelia

Tori Amos's "Ophelia" stands as a defining track from her 2009 album, Abnormally Attracted to Sin. The recording captures the artist's signature blend of classical piano technique and alternative rock sensibilities, showcasing her ability to weave complex emotional narratives into concise song structures. During this era, Amos explored darker, more introspective themes, moving away from the overtly theatrical elements of her earlier work. The song reflects her continued mastery of the piano as a primary rhythmic and melodic driver, anchoring the track in a sophisticated sonic landscape. As part of a discography known for its lyrical depth and musical experimentation, "Ophelia" remains a compelling example of Amos's enduring influence on contemporary piano-driven rock. The work demonstrates her capacity to balance vulnerability with strength, creating a resonant piece that connects deeply with listeners familiar with her extensive body of work.
