Inked Memories: Unraveling the Intriguing Tale of Faster Pussycat's 'Tattoo'
Lyrics
Shame up till today I was doin fine
Feeling ashamed because everything seemed fine until now.
In the mailbox was a letter
Received a letter in the mailbox.
From a girl I left behind
From a girl previously left behind.
And now she's back in town to stay
She's returned to stay in town.
Well long time ago she took my sanity
She had a significant impact on the singer's mental stability in the past.
Came all the way to Memphis
Traveled to Memphis to live near the singer.
To live next door to me
Resides next door to the singer.
Besides the pain it's driving me insane
The situation is causing emotional pain and driving the singer mad.
There's no way I can make her understand
Feeling unable to make her comprehend the situation.
And I found out why it's hidden behind her pants
Discovered a reason hidden behind her clothing.
She's got my name, she's got my name
Realized she has the singer's name tattooed on her body.
Tattoed on the back side of her frame
Specifically, the tattoo is on her back.
There ain't no way you'll get your ring on me
Expressing reluctance to commit to her.
Diggin in my garbage for a piece of me
She's searching for something from the singer in an intrusive way.
All she found were some dirty rubbers
Found only used condoms and worn-out jeans in the search.
And a beat up pair of jeans
Items found in the singer's garbage, suggesting a past relationship.
Mentally she's not all there
Implies that mentally, she's not stable or fully present.
What should I do or where should I go
The singer is uncertain about what to do or where to go.
Should I find a little cabin in Boise Idaho
Considering isolating oneself in a cabin in Boise, Idaho, to avoid the situation.
And hibernate till that strange lame dame goes away
Choosing seclusion until the girl leaves or the situation resolves.
There's no way I can make her understand
Reiterating the inability to make her comprehend.
And I found out why it's hidden behind her pants
Reiterating the discovery of the reason hidden behind her clothing.
She's got my name, she's got my name
Reaffirming the presence of the tattoo with the singer's name.
Tattoed on the back side of her frame
Reiterating the specific location of the tattoo.
There ain't no way you'll get your ring on me
Reasserting the reluctance to commit to her.
There's no way I can make her understand
Continued frustration about the inability to make her understand.
And I found out why it's hidden behind her pants
Reiteration of the reason for her behavior.
She's got my name, she's got my name
Reaffirmation of the presence of the tattoo with the singer's name.
Tattoed on the back side of her frame
Reiterating the specific location of the tattoo.
There ain't no way you'll get your ring on me
Reasserting the reluctance to commit to her.
