I have to go prepare dinner for the kids so I can't delve into the lyrics right now. But as far as the arrangement, singing, melody, rhythm, song structure, etc. I liked it, very creative.

I'm tired, perhaps it's one of those nights where we will just have cereal for dinner. I'm thinking Cornflakes.

Good, I was so afraid someone was going to give answer most definite. But I still asked because I'm dumbass. I guess its one of those things that constantly change like sugarcane, but still, you go too far, when pianos try to be guitars, and you're only wet because of the rain.

Someone living in the boonies (rurals). The term cornflakes stems from these waste cornfields covering these areas. A "cornflake girl" is basically a rural woman. No need to read more into that.

Just for the sake of it: Cornflakeoid!

https://www.theapricity.com/forum/images/misc/quote_icon.pngWikipedia https://www.theapricity.com/forum/images/buttons/viewpost-right.png (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornflake_Girl) Amos has said that growing up, the name they gave to girls who would hurt you despite close friendship was cornflake girls.

The reference to corn flakes and raisins comes from their distribution in a box of breakfast cereal,
implying that "raisin girls" are much harder to find than "cornflake girls".

Amos has spoken in interviews about being referred to glibly as "the cornflake girl" due to the song's title being applied to her,
when she considers herself a "raisin girl". Moreover, she specifically states in the first line of the song: "Never was a cornflake girl."
