I've never been really sure what she's getting at here, either, Megan.
She refers to Anima as a 'vengeful little goddess' earlier in the song
so maybe she's talking about a wooden or stone idol. I don't know,
but I've always gotten the sense that the man is somehow saying that
her independence & strength do nothing but emasculate him - they
change his stature & strength into something broken down & useless -
process tall timber down to rock.
Just speculating here. Anyone else care to weigh in? I agree that
this song is one of her most puzzling. To me this one reads more like
a poem than almost any of her other lyrics. I wonder if she would
'smell a rat' if someone else had written it? ;-)
