Lashes
Ruby Lashes: Unveiling the Depths of Despair and Defiance
Lyrics
She screams sweet hell
Expressing intense emotions or pain vocally
In her old white nightie
Describing a woman in an old, worn nightgown
With rips and tears she's too aware
Awareness of flaws and imperfections, possibly emotional
See through big black bombs
Transparent bombs metaphorically representing explosive situations
That explode on chickens
Violent imagery involving explosions on helpless targets
All the while she thickens
Possibly referring to emotional or physical weight gain
From
Transition to the next set of imagery
Cracks in the mortar
Reference to structural damage or emotional vulnerabilities
Cracks in the mortal
Playing with the words, linking cracks in structures to human mortality
Babys got ruby jewel lashes
Describing someone with attractive and piercing lashes
That'll whip your spine
Indicating the lashes' potential to cause emotional pain
I see you grew into
Observing someone adapting to societal expectations
That stiff gray suit they've sewn for you
Conformity represented by a stiff gray suit
Scrub you clean
Cleansing or conforming to societal norms
Now you forget what you mean
Forgetting one's true self due to societal pressures
Wimpworm completely thick
Insulting language, possibly directed at conformity
Its you who makes me sick
Expressing disgust towards a conformist figure
With a great old brick and mortar
Reference to traditional building materials, possibly symbolic of societal structure
Cracks in the mortar
Reiteration of vulnerability and imperfection
Cracks in the mortal
Repeating the theme of cracks in societal structures
Cracks in the mortar
Emphasizing the fragility of societal constructs
Babys got ruby jewel lashes
Repeating the description of attractive and piercing lashes
That'll whip your spine
Reiterating the potential emotional impact of the lashes
Every time she blinks
Highlighting the impact of blinking on the observer
Makes me sink into ruby
Sinking into the beauty or allure of the lashes
Ruby* ruby jewel lashes
Repetition of the captivating nature of the lashes
So I put on my best Sunday dress
Transition to a personal narrative involving dressing up
And I waltz straight into this mess of mine* posing as a guest
Entering a problematic situation while pretending to be a guest
Or something much less
Downplaying oneself in comparison to a "crazy old doll"
Than a crazy old doll in a crazy old dress
Continuation of the metaphorical dressing up and role-playing
Cracks in the mortar
Repetition of cracks in societal structures
Cracks in the mortal
Reiteration of vulnerability and imperfection in mortality
Cracks in the mortar
Emphasizing the fragility of societal constructs once again
Babys got ruby jewel lashes
Repeating the description of attractive and piercing lashes
That'll whip your spine
Reiterating the potential emotional impact of the lashes
Well the thin moon sugar
Describing the moon metaphorically as sweet or intoxicating
It shines like a wino
Comparing the moon's shine to that of a person addicted to alcohol
The thin moon sugar it shines like a wino for me
Repeating the comparison of moonshine to a wino, possibly for the observer
