Piggy
Reckless Liberation: St. Vincent's 'Piggy' Unleashes Unapologetic Independence
Lyrics
Hey, pig
Addressing someone as "pig," possibly derogatory or metaphorical.
Yeah, you
Confirmation of addressing a specific person as "pig."
Hey pig, piggy, pig, pig, pig
Repetition of the term "pig" with possible negative connotations.
All of my fears came true
Expressing that all fears have become a reality.
Black and blue and broken bones
Describing physical harm with "black and blue" and broken bones.
You left me here, I'm all alone
Feeling abandoned and alone after some traumatic experience.
My little piggy needed something new
Suggesting a desire for change or something new in the situation.
Nothing can stop me now, 'cause I don't care anymore
Asserting a newfound determination and lack of concern.
Nothing can stop me now, 'cause I just don't care
Reiteration of indifference and invincibility.
Nothing can stop me now, 'cause I don't care anymore
Reaffirming the lack of caring and unstoppable attitude.
Nothing can stop me now, 'cause I just don't care
Continuing the theme of apathy and resilience.
Hey, pig
Repeating the address to "pig" with potential intensified emotion.
Nothing's turnin' out the way I planned
Expressing dissatisfaction with the way things are unfolding.
Hey, pig
Repeating the address to "pig" and expressing disappointment.
There's a lot of things I hoped you could help me understand
Seeking understanding or assistance from the addressed "pig."
What am I supposed to do?
Expressing a sense of confusion and uncertainty about what to do.
I lost my shit because of you
Blaming the addressed "pig" for personal distress and chaos.
Nothing can stop me now, 'cause I don't care anymore
Reiterating the lack of caring and an assertive attitude.
Nothing can stop me now, 'cause I just don't care (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Emphasizing indifference and a carefree state.
Nothing can stop me now, 'cause I don't care anymore (ooh-ooh)
Continuing the theme of not caring with added vocalizations.
Nothing can stop me now, 'cause I just don't care (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Repeating the lack of care with additional vocalizations.
Nothing can stop me now
Asserting an unstoppable state without elaboration.
Nothing can stop me now
Repetition of the idea that nothing can hinder progress.
Nothing can stop me now (nothing can stop me)
Further emphasis on the unstoppable nature of the current state.
Nothing can stop me now (nothing can stop me)
Continuing to stress invincibility and resilience.
Nothing can stop me now (nothing can stop me)
Reaffirming the idea that nothing can impede progress.
