Sister Mary
Sister Mary's Struggle: A Tale of Dreams and Despair
Lyrics
Sister Mary's got some
Sister Mary is currently dealing with something unusual.
Strange medicine lately
She has been taking some unconventional medication recently.
Keeps her up all night
The medicine keeps her awake during the night.
Makes her sleep all day
As a result, she sleeps throughout the day.
Woke up this morning to the pouring rain
Upon waking up to rain, there's a somber atmosphere.
Sister Mary cries on the floor
Sister Mary is visibly upset, crying on the floor.
She drank some coffee and she tried to explain
After having coffee, she attempts to explain her actions.
What she stayed up all night for
She stayed awake all night and wants to convey the reason.
She says I know how it feels and what it means
Mary claims to understand the emotions and significance.
To crash the sky, to fly so high on the wings of my dreams
Expressing the experience of soaring high on dreams.
Well every diamond shines but every flower fades
Contrasts the enduring brilliance of diamonds with fading flowers.
And Sister Mary won't be the same
Suggests a significant change in Sister Mary.
She checked her makeup and I lit her cigarette
Mary checks her appearance, and someone lights her cigarette.
And she says mirror mirror on the wall
She talks to a mirror, referencing a classic self-reflection moment.
Who's the fairest child with a soul full of regret?
Mary wonders who possesses the most regretful soul.
And nothin' thrills me anymore
Expresses a lack of excitement or satisfaction in life.
She says remember when your friends called me the queen
Recalls a time when she was admired as a queen by friends.
They used to hang around, make whistle sounds back when I was 16
Reflects on the past when friends praised her at 16.
I'm so afraid to hear what they'd call me today
She fears how people would label her now, indicating a change.
Your Sister Mary oh what a shame
The current state of Sister Mary is seen as a shame.
And I promise I remember
Sister Mary remembers past days filled with poetry and pain.
Days of poetry and pain
She vowed not to give in or surrender to difficulties.
And she swore that she would never surrender
Despite the promise, Sister Mary undergoes a significant change.
Sister Mary won't be the same
The repeated assertion that Sister Mary won't be the same.
