What does ADIA mean in Occupation & Positions?

Adia

Adia is a song by Canadian singer Sarah McLachlan that originally appeared on her 1997 album Surfacing. It was co-written by McLachlan and her longtime producer, Pierre Marchand. On VH1 Storytellers, McLachlan said about the song, "I'm not quite sure how to explain this one but, uh, I guess more than anything it's about my problems in dealing with feeling responsible for everyone else". The song starts with no musical introduction. The lyrics begin "Adia, I do believe I've failed you. Adia, I know I've let you down." The chorus says that "We are all born innocent. Believe me Adia, we are still innocent." At times the music is simple and soft, with little more than a piano accompanying McLachlan. The song does not explain the exact relationship between the singer and Adia, whether they are friends, relatives or lovers. The video shows McLachlan singing directly to the camera in various public places, including a busy intersection, an office lobby, a supermarket aisle and in front of a store selling wedding dresses, where McLachlan kneels to grasp the hand of a child facing away from the camera.
