Dead Girl Walking
Chased by Shadows: Unraveling the Haunting Pursuit in Margot Liotta's Melody
Lyrics
She's after me
She is pursuing me.
I run faster
I am running at a faster pace.
Than my feet go
I am trying to keep up with my fast-paced running.
And I try to be
I attempt to portray myself as someone widely known.
Someone that everyone knows, still
Despite my efforts, not everyone recognizes or acknowledges me.
Maybe I need better posts or lighting
Perhaps I need to improve my social media posts or enhance my appearance.
It's all in the jokes or the timing
Success depends on the humor or the timing of my actions.
Still figuring out what this all means
I am still trying to understand the significance of all this.
But for now I'm being chased by a dead girl walking
Currently, I feel pursued by a deceased girl.
I don't know why
I am uncertain about the reason.
She just gets to me
She manages to affect me emotionally.
Some of the time
This impact occurs intermittently.
And she's catching up
Despite my efforts, she is catching up to me.
Feel her grab me
I feel her physically reaching out to me.
I fall behind again
I fall behind once again.
And I know they say it's fine
Although people say it's okay to go at my own pace,
Go at your pace
I maintain a laser focus on what's directly in front of me.
Laser focus on what's in front of your face
Despite knowing it's unwise to compete, I continue in this race.
And I know it's so dumb to compete in this race
I am still pursued by a deceased girl.
But I'm still being chased by a dead girl walking
Addressing a zombie girl, urging her to run and hide.
Zombie girl run and hide
I consistently run and hide like she does.
Like I do all the time
She has her own concerns, and I have mine.
She's got hers I got mine
Repetition of the idea of a zombie girl running and hiding.
Zombie girl run and hide
Reiteration of the fact that I run and hide like the zombie girl.
Like I do all the time
Similar to the previous lines, emphasizing the parallel lives of the zombie girl and myself.
She's got hers I got mine
Emphasizing the individuality of our respective situations.
Zombie girl run and hide
Repetition of the notion of a zombie girl running and hiding.
Like I do all the time
Continued emphasis on my tendency to run and hide like the zombie girl.
She's got hers I got mine
Highlighting the distinct experiences of the zombie girl and myself.
Zombie girl run and hide
Reiteration of the theme, emphasizing my consistent pattern of running and hiding.
Like I do all the time
Again, highlighting the parallel actions of the zombie girl and myself.
She's got hers I got mine
Reaffirming the separate paths of the zombie girl and myself.
