Fiona Apple - Biografie, Videos, Playlists und mehr

"Criminal" focuses on the complex inner emotion of guilt and regret after making mistakes in a relationship. She talks of how she has been a "bad, bad girl" and been "careless with a delicate man" and reflects on how she "keeps living this day like the next will never come". Ultimately, she seeks redemption and understanding in the face of her actions and longs for guidance to make things right. She pleads to be forgiven, declaring that she needs a good defense and needs to be redeemed as the man she has sinned against is the only love she ever knew. The song is a sincere reflection on the often conflicting emotions of guilt, regret and sadness that can come from making mistakes in relationships. Read more on Last.fm.
