Delicate girl
Unveiling the Lost Essence
Lyrics
Delicate girl not so delicate anymore
Despite being labeled as delicate, she's no longer fragile or weak.
Dirty ribbons in her hair and a torn up pinafore
Her appearance is disheveled with unkempt ribbons and torn clothing.
Untied shoes and eyes that blankly stare
Her shoes are untied, and her eyes reflect emptiness or detachment.
Valued only for her beauty now no one seems to care
She's now only valued for her physical beauty, with others neglecting her true self.
Born into the shadow of what was before
She was born into a legacy overshadowing her own identity.
Did every task and every ask
She fulfilled every task and demand but questions the purpose behind it.
But what was it all for?
She's pondering the significance of her efforts.
Never measured up always felt out of place
She constantly felt inadequate and out of place.
But listen my delicate girl
An advice for her not to display her true feelings on her face.
Don't show it on your face
She's urged to mask her emotions despite her struggles.
You selected your tools to carve out her form
Someone influenced and shaped her identity.
You taught her how to act and speak and how to perform
She was taught how to behave and present herself.
Yeah she was just a prop in your play of a life
Her existence was merely a part of someone else's narrative.
But porcelain dolls fade in sunlight
However, even delicate things like porcelain dolls fade away.
Delicate girl oh she bends and she breaks
She's fragile and susceptible to bending and breaking under pressure.
Kept tightly in a box or simply propped up on display
She's either confined or put on display, lacking autonomy.
Saturated ink carefully spelling out her name
Her identity is marked by external impositions.
The one she never chose but the one that will remain
She's labeled with a name she didn't choose but is stuck with.
You selected your tools to carve out her form
Reiteration of someone shaping her identity.
You taught her how to act and speak and how to perform
Reiteration of being taught how to behave and perform.
Yeah she was just a prop in your play of a life
Reiteration of being a pawn in someone else's life.
But porcelain dolls fade
A reminder that even fragile things like porcelain dolls fade away.
Porcelain dolls fade
Reiteration of the fading nature of porcelain dolls.
Porcelain dolls fade
Continuation of the reminder that fragile things eventually fade.
