Lyrics

They call me a tronie

They label me as a tronie, an art genre often depicting exaggerated facial expressions.

They paint me illucid, loose-lipped, and lonely

They only love me when they own me

They call me a tronie

Reiteration of being labeled as a tronie in the artistic sense.

Repeating the portrayal as unclear, talkative, and isolated in paintings.

Then they hang my face on their walls

Repeating the imagery of the face displayed as a trophy on walls.
