Seven Dead Orchids
Drowning in the Vortex of Addiction: Unveiling the Dark Charade of Glamorized Celebrity
Lyrics
The vortex of addiction is out of square
The cycle of addiction is distorted or dysfunctional.
There are imaginary catchwords everywhere
There are deceptive and unreal catchphrases all around.
The ego-dolls reap the meadows of megalomania
People consumed by their egos exploit the fields of delusional self-importance.
And we crave the spotlight
A desire for attention and recognition.
An ephemeral prostitute in the centre of attention
A transient figure seeking attention in the center of focus.
My deserted space needs another case of intervention
A personal space that lacks intervention or correction.
Celebrity is my specialty
Achieving fame and attention is the primary skill.
Glamorized in fashion I am the mannequin to be
Glorified in the world of fashion, being the ideal mannequin.
Oh, sweet seventeen her unblemished face
Referring to a girl at the age of seventeen with an untarnished appearance.
Clad in the tint of juvenile flesh
Dressed in the color of youthful skin.
Seven dead orchids
Seven dead orchids symbolizing something lost or destroyed.
Lay trampled and beguiled
Orchids trampled and deceived.
Like the lust that died
Similar to the demise of lust or desire.
She sits astride
A suggestive posture or position.
The pictures my crayons painted
Images created with innocence distorted.
Xeroxed and airbrushed to fit
Copies and modifications to suit a particular image.
Admiration disguised in trivial pursuits
Admiration hidden behind trivial pursuits.
Animated to death
Animating something until it loses life or authenticity.
The vortex of addiction is out of square
Reiteration of the distorted nature of addiction.
There are imaginary catchwords everywhere
The prevalence of deceptive words all around.
The ego-dolls reap the meadows of megalomania
Similar to line 3, emphasizing the destructive nature of egotism.
And we crave the spotlight
A repetition of the desire for the spotlight.
