I've never looked up the lyrics to many (most?) of my favorite songs. I finally looked into what Cat Power meant in Nude as the News, and it's about Jesse Jackson's (then) anti-abortion stance. genius.com/Cat-power-nude-as-t

I’ve never told anybody what that song’s about. I wrote it when I was young. When I was making it up in my mind, I was feeling remorseful, I’d had an abortion when I was 20. I felt guilt and the same about that — which I still feel, but I’ve forgiven myself. I’d just seen Patti Smith perform for the first time — knowing she had two children, her being a figure of feminine strength for me, connecting with her strength, wanting to have it or work up to it and to fulfill my need for that strength, which I didn’t have when I wrote that song. So it meant that I carry the soul of that child in me forever. I’m not real educated. There’s a lot of societal anger: no education about when you get pregnant. There’s self-hatred. I’m not the enemy; society didn’t force me to have the abortion. But it’s years of stories meshed into one triumphant one: I can carry the soul with me, hopefully, in my mind or my heart. Carry the soul with me. I’ve never told anybody this. So there it is, for the world to see.
