Lyrics
If you wanna be the star
If you want to achieve fame
Just get the big guitar
Suggests using a prominent musical instrument, like a guitar
A pair of leather jeans
Wearing leather pants adds authenticity
Lends credibility
Enhances credibility in the eyes of others
Make all the critics cream
Impress critics and gain their admiration
Just get down on your knees
Symbolic gesture of submission or humility
Learn how to scream and seize
Learn to express loudly and assertively
Every "opportunity"
Embrace every chance that comes your way
You'll make them beg for it
Gain control and make others desire your talents
You're one tough rockin' bitch
Assertive and powerful female musician
You got a lot to show
Have a lot to offer, especially on alternative radio
On college radio
Suggests a rebellious or non-mainstream approach
So drop all the petals soft as velvet
Surrendering or letting go of innocence
Tear up your petals moist and delicate
Destruction of vulnerability
Flower petals soft as velvet
Soft, gentle, and delicate aspects of femininity
Rip up the petals moist and delicate
Destruction or rebellion against fragility
They're falling
Symbolizes the falling of the destroyed petals
Now I know you wanna be the rage
Desire to be the center of attention and controversy
Wanna live inside the formaldehyde cage
Willingness to conform to societal expectations for success
I know your mind's made up
Determination and commitment
Your breasts tattooed
Permanent commitment to a particular image or identity
The power won't rub off
Once adopted, the chosen persona becomes integral to self
Now it's part of you
Irreversible incorporation of power into the individual
You got nothing to prove
Confidence without the need for validation
You got nothing to prove
Reiteration of self-assurance
You've shown to those pricks once more
Successful defiance against critics
Made them beg for it
Make others crave your talent and recognition
You're one bad bitchin' whore
Assertive and powerful female figure
So drop all the petals soft as velvet
Repetition of letting go of innocence or vulnerability
Tear up your petals moist and delicate
Repetition of destruction or rebellion against fragility
Flower petals soft as velvet
Reiteration of soft, gentle, and delicate aspects of femininity
Rip up the petals moist and delicate drop all the petals soft as velvet
Further destruction or rebellion against fragility
Tear up your petals moist and delicate
Continued tearing down of vulnerability
Flower petals soft as velvet
Continuation of the soft and delicate femininity
Rip up the petals moist and delicate
Continued rebellion against fragility
Rip up the petals moist and delicate
Repetition of destroying vulnerability
Flower petals soft as velvet
Repetition of soft and delicate femininity
Rip up the petals [Repeat: x1]
Reiteration of tearing down vulnerability
They're falling
Symbolizes the ongoing process of destruction
