Christine Volk never met a metaphor she didn't like. In fact, she's so fond of that literary device that she's named her decade-in-the-making solo CD "Metaphors and Musings." Take "Bad Dog," the stark, harrowing first track. A woman is so subservient to her significant other that she compares her relationship role to a dog that's willing to do anything to please his master. "I'm a bad dog, and I need to be put down," she sings. On "Rereading You," Volk likens a lover to a good book she can't put down. Then there's "Insect," the musical equivalent of a Franz Kafka/David Cronenberg merger. "I'll never forget that night when you turned into an insect right before my eyes. I'll never forget that night when you up and metamorphosized," Volk sings caustically, her voice dripping contempt.
