Girl
Small Town Secrets: Unveiling the Heart's Quest in Sara Tindley's 'Girl'
Lyrics
Small towns are boys towns
Small towns are primarily for boys.
The girls just hang around
Girls linger in these small towns.
Waiting watching
Girls wait and watch, hoping to be noticed.
Wanting to be found
They desire to be discovered by someone.
Discovered unearthed
Once found, they are like hidden treasures.
Treasure in the deep
A metaphorical treasure found in the depths of the town.
Rich vein of gold
The girl is compared to a rich vein of gold.
Buried beyond reach
This gold is buried and challenging to reach.
What's a girl supposed
Expressing uncertainty about the girl's role and purpose.
To do around here
Questioning what a girl is expected to do in this environment.
What's a girl going to do
Repeating the uncertainty and questioning the girl's actions.
Muscle cars false
Muscle cars represent superficial attractions.
Starts nothing to say
Describing the emptiness or shallowness of conversations.
Alcohol fueled fumbling's
Physical interactions influenced by alcohol in hidden places.
In darkened doorways
These encounters occur in dark, hidden areas.
Empty streets she could be
The town seems deserted, emphasizing loneliness.
The only person alive
The girl feels isolated, as if she's the only one alive.
She's going to get herself a car
The girl plans to escape by getting a car.
Floor it kiss this place goodbye
She intends to leave the town behind swiftly.
What's a girl supposed
Reiteration of the uncertainty about a girl's role.
To do around here
Questioning what activities are available for a girl in the town.
Walking around this town
Despite time passing, the town remains unchanged.
Nothing has changed
Reflecting on the lack of progress or development.
Sound of the siren it's
The sound of a siren represents routine and predictability.
Saturdays game
Saturday's game implies a repetitive cycle of events.
Empty streets I could
Emphasizing the emptiness of the town once again.
Be the only person alive
The girl feels isolated, as if she's the only one alive.
I'm going to get into
The girl plans to escape by getting into her car.
My car and floor it
She intends to leave the town quickly.
Kiss this town goodbye
Repeating the desire to kiss the town goodbye.
What's a girl supposed
Reiteration of uncertainty about a girl's role.
To do around here
Questioning available activities for a girl in the town.
What's a girl going
Repeating the uncertainty about what a girl should do.
To do around here
Reiterating the questioning of a girl's options in the town.
