Invoice
Forging Desires: Unveiling the Emotional Journey in Caroline Strickland's 'Invoice'
Lyrics
Forge the invoice
Expressing the act of creating a false invoice
To make two grand
Intending to generate or obtain two thousand dollars
Guess now I've stuck it
Acknowledging the commitment or consequences of the forged invoice
To the man
Referring to an individual, possibly someone affected by the forged invoice
But I'll still take what he will give me
Willing to accept whatever the mentioned person is willing to offer
Will I be better in the morning
Contemplating whether the speaker will feel better in the morning
I have been crying in my sleep
Admitting to crying during sleep, indicating emotional distress
For all of the lies I have told this week
Expressing guilt for telling lies throughout the week
First I lied about my nine to five
Initially lying about the nature of a nine-to-five job
Then I told you it would all be fine
Lying to someone about the situation, reassuring that everything will be fine
When all I've really done today
Reflecting on the speaker's actions since waking up and earning money
Since waking up and getting paid
Indicating a focus on personal desires instead of responsibilities
Is think about the way I wish you wanted me
Daydreaming about how the speaker wishes to be desired by someone
Thinking 'bout the way I wish you wanted me
Repeating the contemplation of desired attention
Maybe with the extra cash
Considering using the extra money for a trip to Ireland
I'll take a trip to Ireland
Fantasizing about adopting the name Marianne during the trip
Pretend my name Marianne
Planning to immerse oneself in music during the trip
Play some music I can drown in
Using the experience to cope with the end of a relationship
Remind myself it's over
Intending to remind oneself that the past relationship is over
Standing on the streets of Sligo
Imagining standing on the streets of Sligo during the trip
But I'm still thinking 'bout the way I wish you wanted me
Continuing to think about the desired attention despite the planned distractions
Still thinking 'bout the way I wish you wanted me
Reiterating the persistent thoughts about desired affection
Who will want me now
Expressing uncertainty about finding someone who will desire the speaker
Who will want me now
Repeating the uncertainty about future desirability
Who will
Posing a question about who will desire the speaker now
Who will
Repeating the question about who will desire the speaker
Who will want me now
Reiterating the uncertainty and longing for someone to desire the speaker
