Lyrics
Mommy told me I should never surrender
Mommy advised against surrendering, sharing her experience of being deceived by someone.
Cause she had been killed by a total pretender
The speaker's mother was killed by someone who pretended to be genuine.
And I think it was the last time that I saw her
Recalling the last time the speaker saw their mother.
From now on I was
From that moment onward, the speaker became a loner.
A loner, loner, loner, loner
Emphasizing the speaker's solitude by repeating the word "loner."
Loner, loner, loner, loner
-Show them how giving your heart is
Encouraging to show kindness by giving one's heart.
And they will tear you down, down
Warning that others may exploit vulnerability and bring one down.
Show them how selfless your soul is
Encouraging to demonstrate selflessness but cautioning against potential negative consequences.
And you will be drowned
Expressing that being selfless may lead to feeling overwhelmed or drowned.
I stick around without any attention
The speaker persists without seeking attention in a suppressive world.
A meaningless shell in this world of suppression
Describing the speaker as a meaningless shell in a repressive environment.
I remember her words ringing in my ear
Recollection of the mother's words echoing in the speaker's ear.
Carved in my brain
The mother's advice is deeply engraved in the speaker's mind.
Give em hell my dear
Repeating the phrase "Give em hell my dear" for emphasis and encouragement.
Give em hell my dear
-Oh yeah
An expression of agreement or affirmation.
Show them how giving your heart is
Reiterating the idea of showing kindness and the potential consequences of being torn down.
And they will tear you down, down
-Show them how selfless your soul is
Repeating the warning about being drowned when demonstrating selflessness.
And you will be drowned
-Show them how giving your heart is
Further instructions to show the vulnerability of the heart, soul, and mind.
Show them how precious your soul is
-Show them how fragile your mind is
-Tell them how you feel
Advising to express feelings, regardless of the outcome.
It doesn´t matter
Emphasizing that the outcome or others' reactions don't matter.
It doesn´t matter
-It doesn´t matter

Reiterating the warning of being drowned, emphasizing the inevitability of negative consequences.
You will be drowned
