Manic Pixie Dream Girl
Escaping Hollywood Dreams: Unraveling the Manic Pixie Dream
Lyrics
I can not stir from this sleep
I am stuck in a state of inertia or inaction.
Cause I've escaped for a little while
I have temporarily escaped from reality.
I find myself in a paradigm
I find myself in a set pattern or model of existence.
They sold me a Hollywood dream
I was deceived by an illusion of success or happiness.
But I can't ever play back this scene
I cannot recreate or relive a particular moment.
I cant ever play back this scene
Reiteration of the inability to replay a specific scene.
My manic pixie dream girl
Reference to an idealized, whimsical woman often portrayed in media.
My manic pixie dream girl
Repetition emphasizing the concept of a manic pixie dream girl.
We've all been here before
A collective acknowledgment of shared experiences.
In rut of desperation as we seek to fill the cardiac void
Feeling stuck in a cycle of desperation while trying to fill an emotional void.
I need a metaphor, I need
Desire for a symbolic expression or comparison.
My manic pixie dream girl
Reiteration of the yearning for a manic pixie dream girl.
Run away from her, run a, run away from her
Suggesting the idea of escaping or avoiding the manic pixie dream girl.
My manic pixie dream girl
Reaffirmation of the presence of the manic pixie dream girl.
I've lived long enough to know
An assertion of having gained experience and knowledge.
That love is a drug with a cheap low
Love is compared to a drug with a low cost or value.
Fallen in too deep, running through my dreams
Being deeply involved in a situation, running through dreams.
My manic pixie dream girl
Reiteration of the presence of the manic pixie dream girl.
Run away from her, run a, run away from her
Suggesting the idea of escaping or avoiding the manic pixie dream girl again.
My manic pixie dream girl
Reaffirmation of the persistent presence of the manic pixie dream girl.
Run away from her, run a, run away from her
Continuation of the desire to escape from the manic pixie dream girl.
My manic pixie dream girl

Run away from her, run a, run away
Further emphasis on the need to run away from the manic pixie dream girl.
Run away from her, run a, run away
Repetition emphasizing the urgency to run away from the manic pixie dream girl.
Chained to these thoughts in my head, a generational thread
Feeling mentally constrained by recurring thoughts passed down through generations.
Run away from her, run a, run away from her
Reiteration of the idea of escaping or avoiding the manic pixie dream girl.
Hey come and step inside, you know I've got the time
An invitation to enter a space where time is available.
Run away from her, run a, run away from her
Repetition emphasizing the idea of running away from the manic pixie dream girl.
I've lived long enough to know that love is a drug
Reiteration of the earlier comparison of love to a drug.
Run away from her, run a, run away from her
Repetition emphasizing the idea of escaping or avoiding the manic pixie dream girl.
Fallen in too deep, running through my dreams
Being deeply involved in a situation, running through dreams, again.
