Lyrics
White girl living in the big city
Describing a Caucasian girl residing in a large urban area
In a big apartment house
Living in a spacious apartment building
She's living with her boyfriend now
Currently cohabiting with her boyfriend
She drives off every day for school and work
Commutes daily for both education and employment
She washes dishes now
Engaged in domestic tasks like washing dishes
And watches TV on the pull out couch
Relaxes by watching TV on a pull-out couch
And every day's the same
Expressing the monotony of her routine
White girl moved back to the suburbs
Narrating a change: the girl moved back to suburban living
And she finally found a man
Indicates she found a caring partner
Who knows how to take care of her
Emphasizing the partner's ability to take care of her
She bought the perfect little house
She has acquired a perfect, well-maintained house
And the lawn's well manicured
Highlighting the meticulous care of her lawn
And she'd never missed a day of work
Stating her consistent attendance at work
And every day's the same
Despite changes, her daily life remains unvaried
White girl couldn't go on knowing
Suggesting discontent with her current situation
She was just here wasting her time
Feeling that she's wasting her time in her present life
She drowned in the lake last night
Introducing a dramatic event: she drowned in a lake
They found her bloated body floating
Authorities discovered her swollen body in the water
But she still walks around
Despite her demise, she appears to be alive, going through daily routines
Performing all her daily chores
Continues performing household tasks even in death
She still don't know what life's about
Reflecting her lack of understanding about life's purpose
'Cause every day's the same
Reiterating the monotony of her existence even after death
And she's got no one to love
Expressing her lack of a meaningful connection or love
