Mascara Melancholy: Unveiling the Fragility of Love
Lyrics
Never been with someone I can't live without
Expresses a lack of prior experience with someone considered essential.
Lately when it comes around they let me down
Recently, those important individuals have been disappointing.
Don't let me down, mm
Request not to cause disappointment.
And I wanna let you know I'm so afraid
Anxiety about allowing deep emotional involvement.
To let you sink into me like a rattlesnake
Fear of allowing someone to deeply affect her life.
Lord save me now
Pleading for help or salvation.
You can rip my sheets, but don't rip my heart
Physical intimacy is acceptable, but emotional vulnerability is not.
Fragile inside, but the outside hard
Externally tough, internally fragile.
Paint myself twice just to hide my scars
Attempts to conceal emotional wounds.
'Cause I need it, yeah, I need it
Admitting a need despite attempts to hide it.
Ruin my lipstick, ruin my bed
Physical aspects can be disrupted, but emotional vulnerability must be protected.
Ruin the hair upon my head
Physical appearance can be damaged, but emotional state must be preserved.
But don't you ever ruin my mascara
Emphasizing the importance of protecting emotional composure.
Ruin my body everynight
Distinguishing between physical and emotional ruin.
Ruin my dress and not my life
Preference for external damage over internal.
But don't you ever ruin my mascara, ooh
Reiteration of the importance of safeguarding emotional stability.
You got that thing that bring
Recognition of a quality in someone that provokes inner turmoil.
The devil out of me
Comparison highlighting the control someone has over her.
So if you're the master, I'm the masterpiece
Claiming a sense of being an impressive creation controlled by the other.
Lord save me now
Seeking divine intervention or help.
And you take my breath and you
The person takes away her ability to breathe freely.
Won't let me breathe now, oh
Being restricted in expressing herself despite the partner's enjoyment of her openness.
But you like when I let it all out
Partner enjoys her emotional release.
Ruin my lipstick, ruin my bed
Acceptance of physical disruptions but not emotional ones.
Ruin the hair upon my head
Physical aspects can be disrupted, but emotional vulnerability must be protected.
But don't you ever ruin my mascara
Emphasizing the importance of protecting emotional composure.
Ruin my body everynight
Distinguishing between physical and emotional ruin.
Ruin my dress and not my life
Preference for external damage over internal.
But don't you ever ruin my mascara, ooh
Reiteration of the importance of safeguarding emotional stability.
I spent too much
Regret about spending excessive time on appearance.
Spent too much time on my make-up
Warning against ruining the effort put into appearance.
So don't you, so don't you ruin my make-up
Asserting the value of her appearance.
No, I look too good in this shit
Reaffirming the value she sees in her appearance.
I spent too much
Regret about spending excessive time on appearance.
Spent too much time on my make-up
Warning against ruining the effort put into appearance.
So don't you, so don't you ruin my make-up
Asserting the value of her appearance.
No, I look too good in this shit
Reaffirming the value she sees in her appearance.
Ruin my lipstick, ruin my bed
Physical aspects can be disrupted, but emotional vulnerability must be protected.
Ruin the hair upon my head
Physical appearance can be damaged, but emotional state must be preserved.
But don't you ever ruin my mascara
Emphasizing the importance of protecting emotional composure.
Ruin my body everynight
Distinguishing between physical and emotional ruin.
Ruin my dress and not my life
Preference for external damage over internal.
But don't you ever ruin my mascara, ooh
Reiteration of the importance of safeguarding emotional stability.
