Lyrics
On my life I know for sure
Expressing certainty about a situation in life.
We've entered a puppet show
Describing the feeling of being part of a manipulated or controlled situation, like a puppet show.
Got my guard up, watch my back
Being cautious and vigilant, protecting oneself.
Straight ahead, no turning back
Committing to a direction without turning back.
Could say I can take no more
Feeling overwhelmed but acknowledging it won't change anything.
But it'd do no good at all
Recognizing the futility of resisting the situation.
I could try to walk away
Contemplating the option to leave or to confront the challenges.
Or just win the game they play
Choosing to engage and win in the manipulative game.
So
Considering the decision to take action and make an impact.
Should we go, should we go?
-Should we go right now and see?
-Let 'em know, let 'em know
-I be new in town, oh
-Should we go, should we go?
-Should we go right now and see?
-Let 'em know, let 'em know
-I'ma tear shit down
-Look at me with the drop top back
Describing a flashy appearance in the "valley of dolls," suggesting a superficial or artificial environment.
Watchin' with your mouth open
-In the valley of dolls
-Baby look at me with the pom poms
-Tricked 'em out, make you like me
-I'm in the valley of dolls
-I'm not half that star
Comparing oneself to a star with fewer followers but more substance, while warning others about their location in the "valley of the dolls."
But I got more stats
-'Cause, uh, I just know where to go
-You know where you are now, you know where you are
-Don't you know you living in the valley of the dolls?
-The valley of the dolls
-Open eyes, not like before
Observing the behavior of others, detached from the speaker, who seems immune to manipulation and disturbance.
Watch them wind up more and more
-Rip the tethers from their back
-Simulates a heart attack
-Jaws all dropped down to the floor
-Not like us, 'cause an uproar
-Well it seems they're on to me
-Dolls don't fuck wit' a queen bee
-So
Reiterating the decision to take action and make an impact in the artificial environment.
Should we go, should we go?
-Should we go right now and see?
-Let 'em know, let 'em know
-I be new in town, oh
-Should we go, should we go?
-Should we go right now and see?
-Let 'em know, let 'em know
-I'ma tear shit down
-Look at me with the drop top back
Describing a captivating presence in the "valley of dolls."
Watchin' with your mouth open
-In the valley of dolls
-Baby look me with the pom poms
-Tricked 'em out, make you like me
-I'm in the valley of dolls
-I'm not half that star
Emphasizing the uniqueness and resilience of the speaker in the midst of the superficial "valley of the dolls."
But I got more stats
-'Cause, uh, I just know where to go
-You know where you are now, you know where you are
-Don't you know you living in the valley of the dolls
-The valley of the dolls
-Even I can't pass through the valley of the dolls
Expressing difficulty passing through the "valley of the dolls" without regret or change.
Without cursing to myself the day I came, the day I came
-Even I can't pass throughout the valley of the dolls
-Throughout the valley of the dolls
-And be the same, and be the same
-Look at me with the drop top back
Repeating the theme of a captivating appearance in the artificial environment.
Watchin' with your mouth open
-In the valley of dolls
-Baby look me with the pom poms
-Tricked 'em out, make you like me
-I'm in the valley of dolls
-I'm not half that star
Reiterating the awareness of living in the "valley of the dolls."
But I got more stats
-'Cause, uh, I just know where to go
-You know where you are now, you know where you are
-Don't you know you living in the valley of the dolls
-The valley of the dolls
