Lyrics
Did you believe it
Expressing doubt or questioning belief in something.
When they told you they discovered you?
Referencing a moment of being discovered or recognized by others.
And that everything is free
Suggesting a promise of freedom but with conditions attached.
As long as you do what they tell you to
Highlighting the idea of compliance to external instructions for apparent freedom.
You think it's true?
Questioning the validity of the aforementioned claims.
But nothing could be farther from the truth
Asserting that the reality is far from what was initially presented.
My love
Addressing a person with affectionate emphasis.
Did you even listen
Inquiring about attentiveness to advice or directives.
When they told you to change your name?
Referring to a suggestion or demand to change one's identity.
And that nobody wants honesty when looking at a perfect frame
Stating a preference for deception over honesty within societal standards.
Play the game
Encouraging participation in societal expectations or norms.
Nothing could be further from the truth
Reiterating the disparity between perception and reality.
My love
Repeating affectionate address and emphasizing the previous statement.
And nothing is more powerful that beauty in a wicked world
Highlighting the power of beauty in a morally compromised world.
Play it girl
Repetition for emphasis on playing the societal game and conforming.
Play it girl
-Play it girl
-Does it make you feel good
Questioning the satisfaction derived from hearing what one wants.
When they tell you what you want to hear?
Emphasizing the transient nature of approval and affirmation.
And after they suck all your soul
Describing a situation where one's essence is depleted or exploited.
Well that's when they'll disappear
Anticipating the disappearance of support or interest after personal cost.
Disappear
Reinforcing the idea of permanent disappearance or abandonment.
They disappear forever
-Like a prince in your little fairy tale
Drawing a parallel to a fairy tale character losing their royal status.
And you will find
Indicating a realization that personal integrity has been compromised.
One day you put you soul on sale
Suggesting a metaphorical sale of one's true self for external validation.
Nothing could be further from the truth
Reiterating the gap between perceived and actual truth with affection.
My love
-And nothing is more powerful than beauty in a wicked world
Emphasizing the enduring power of beauty in a morally ambiguous world.
