Lyrics

The marks on my face and scars on my chest are all I have

The physical marks on my face and scars on my chest represent my experiences and define who I am.

Why would I change them for you?

I won't alter these marks or scars for anyone, emphasizing the importance of self-acceptance.

The shadows in my voice and the colours in my head are all I have

The emotional struggles reflected in my voice and the vivid thoughts in my mind are integral aspects of my identity.

Why would I let you change them to make them more like you instead?

I resist letting others change these aspects to conform to their expectations.


What more do you need from me?

A direct question challenging the need for further demands or expectations from the speaker.

Change the channel if you want porn

Suggesting a shift in focus, advising to change the subject or perspective if seeking something provocative.

I’m not your doll, you see

Rejecting the role of being controlled or manipulated, asserting independence and autonomy.

A black rose will never lose its thorns

Using the metaphor of a black rose with thorns to symbolize resilience and strength amid darkness.

You get what you get and you’re lucky I’m wasting my time on this

Implying that the speaker provides what they can, and the listener should appreciate the effort.

Laugh all you want but you’ll never be the best

This darkness is all I have and you will never turn the lights on

Reiteration of the idea that the speaker embraces their darkness, resisting external attempts to change it.


You’re mistaking my kindness for idiocy

Clarifying that kindness from the speaker should not be mistaken for weakness or lack of intelligence.

I guess I must be a little stupid talking about this

Admitting to discussing personal matters, possibly implying vulnerability in opening up.

But if you think that you’re the best I wouldn’t walk past a mirror

Suggesting self-awareness by acknowledging potential arrogance in others, warning about self-reflection.

You might end up feeling ugly

Cautioning that judging oneself against others may lead to feeling unattractive or discontent.


What more do you need from me?

A repetition of the earlier question, challenging the necessity for additional expectations.

Change the channel if you want porn

I’m not your doll, you see

Reaffirming independence and resistance to being controlled or manipulated like a doll.

A black rose will never lose its thorns

Repeating the metaphor of a black rose, emphasizing enduring strength and resilience.

You get what you get and you’re lucky I’m wasting my time on this

This darkness is all I have and you will never turn the lights on

Reiteration of the idea that the speaker's darkness is a constant and won't be illuminated or changed.

This darkness is all I have and you will never turn the lights on

Final repetition emphasizing the enduring nature of the speaker's darkness despite external attempts to alter it.
