Fifty Bucks
Fifty Bucks: Unveiling the Price of Pain and Materialism
Lyrics
Just me and the moon again
Expressing solitude, being alone with the moon
Talking like a had a friend
Talking as if there's a friend, possibly imaginary
OOO
Expression of emotion or realization
Told me once or twice that I
Someone advised her about handling highs and lows
Ignored the lows and road the highs
Choosing to ignore the lows and embrace the highs
Ahh
Exclamations indicating emotion
Ahh
-Just me and my thoughts again
Being alone with thoughts, contemplating ending something
Replying how I couldn't end it
Reflecting on an inability to end something
OOO
Expression of emotion or realization
Heart was thinking not my head like
Choosing heart over head, possibly in a romantic context
Drinking water with a kicked spike
Drinking water with a kicked spike, implying a bitter experience
Ahh
Expression of emotion or realization
Covered lies in painted roses
Covering lies with deceptive beauty (painted roses)
More often than the times that I've cried
Contrast between hiding lies and the frequency of crying
Gave me all materialistic
Receiving materialistic things that couldn't replace emotional pain
I never thought that you would try
Surprise that someone would attempt to make amends
Fifty Bucks to get my nails done
Expressing dissatisfaction with a monetary offer for emotional pain
Should've paid me thousands more
-For all the pain that
-You've done on me
-If you really knew what I want
-You would burn the money to the ground
-And take a real shot
Suggesting a more sincere gesture than offering money
Trust me I
Asserting independence and the inability to be bought
Know what I like
-But you can't buy me
-Fifty Bucks to get my nails done
Reiterating dissatisfaction with a monetary offer for emotional pain
Should've paid me thousands more
-For all the pain that
-You've done on me
-Just me walking home alone
-Watch you turning cash to stone
-OOO
-Money don't buy happiness
-But a sorry could've been the check
-Ahh
-Ahh
-Covered lies in painted roses
-More often than the times that I've cried
-(More often I've cried)
-Gave me all materialistic
-I never thought that you would try
-Fifty Bucks to get my nails done
-Should've paid me thousands more
-For all the pain that
-You've done on me
-If you really knew what I want
-You would burn the money to the ground
-And take a real shot
-Trust me I
-Know what I like
-But you can't buy me
-(Buy me yeah)
-Fifty Bucks to get my nails done
-Should've paid me thousands more
-For all the pain that
-You've done on me
Reflecting on the pain caused by the person in question
On me
Repetition of the emotional impact on the singer
On me
-On me
-On me
-On me
-On me
-(Fifty Bucks to get my nails done)
Reiterating the dissatisfaction with a monetary offer for emotional pain
