Sugarcoat
Unmasking Beauty: Rustic Overtones' Sugarcoat Reveals the Hidden Truth
Lyrics
You gotta look like this one, miss doll
You must conform to a specific appearance, like a doll.
Red lipstick pistol
The superficial emphasis on red lipstick, possibly symbolizing allure or attraction.
You gotta stand up this tall if you're gonna tow the line
You need to conform to societal expectations and standards.
Make-up, you need more
The suggestion that makeup is a requirement, implying a need for enhancement.
Because that's just what it's for
Implying that conforming to societal norms is the purpose of makeup.
Cover up that person because you're not them anymore
Hide your true self behind a facade because you have changed.
You're her...I can see you're her
Recognizing that the person has transformed into someone else.
Plastic dream lover, magazine cover
Describing an idealized, artificial lover and appearance.
To me some people are better off with their problems left unsolved
Suggesting that some people are better off without solving their problems.
I guess you're probably one of them...Guess you're probably one
Speculating that the listener might be one of those people.
We sugar coat everything that we say
Highlighting a tendency to sugarcoat and not speak bluntly.
Esteem turns into masquerade
Self-esteem transforms into a deceptive mask.
I think you're ugly and you're fucked
Abrasive honesty about finding the person unattractive and flawed.
I'm not sure I like t, I'm not sure I'll buy it, I'm not sure of anything at
Expressing uncertainty and hesitation about various aspects.
All.
A general sense of doubt and lack of certainty.
But if I had to say, I'd say it fits
If forced to comment, the speaker suggests that it fits.
It fits snug right up to my hips
Describing a snug fit, possibly in the context of conforming.
Blood red enamel fingertips...Do I look good in black?
Imagery of blood red enamel fingertips and a concern about appearance.
Does it make me look fat?
Reflecting societal pressure regarding body image.
Shall I put it back or will it attract the type of person
Contemplating whether to keep or reject an item based on its impact on perception.
I could never hope to be?
Questioning if keeping the item will attract a certain type of person.
This one is for my waist and you know just what they say
Referring to an item for the waist with a commentary on societal values.
"Of course loks aren't everything, it's the money that you make"
Quoting a perspective that emphasizes the importance of wealth over looks.
To me some people are better off with their problems left unsolved.
Reiteration of the idea that some people are better off without solving problems.
I guess you're one of them...I guess you're probably one
Repeating the speculation that the listener might be one of those people.
We sugar coat all that we say
Highlighting the recurring theme of sugarcoating communication.
Esteem turns into masquerade
Reiteration of the idea that self-esteem can turn into a deceptive act.
I think you're ugly and you're fucked.
Reaffirmation of the blunt opinion about the person being unattractive and flawed.
