Dear Dolores
Dear Dolores: Forgotten Reflections
Lyrics
Dear Dolores, I hope you're doing well
Expressing concern for Dolores and wishing her well.
You're sick of this by now I can tell
Perceiving Dolores's fatigue with a recurring situation.
But sex sells and that's a shame
Commenting on the unfortunate reality that sex appeal is often exploited for attention.
The house is a mess again
Describing the disorder or chaos in the house once again.
Dear Dolores, I'm sorry for
Apologizing to Dolores regarding the way their story has unfolded.
The way the story ends up being told
Anticipating Dolores's continued suffering due to their shared past.
And you'll suffer all the same
Suggesting that their shared experiences will be exploited or misrepresented.
But they'll sell it with a counterfeit name
Highlighting the use of a false or deceptive name in the media to sell their story.
I read his book it's not the truth
Disputing the accuracy of someone else's account, possibly in a book.
You were just a kid what could you do?
Acknowledging Dolores's limited agency as a young person in a difficult situation.
In a plain front lawn you were all but gone
Describing a moment where Dolores seemed to disappear on a plain front lawn.
The moment his eyes fixed on you
Pointing to a critical moment when someone's attention became fixated on Dolores.
Oh Dolores, don't forget the sunglasses I know you regret
Recalling a specific detail, sunglasses, that Dolores may regret.
Remember do your nails
Advising Dolores to maintain appearances, perhaps for the sake of public image.
The people are expecting record sales
Highlighting the commercial expectations associated with their public image.
And if you get lonely
Offering reassurance to Dolores about her potential loneliness.
Don't worry you're just one of many
Downplaying Dolores's uniqueness by suggesting she's one among many.
I wish it wasn't true
Expressing a desire for a different reality where Dolores is not forgotten.
The world has forgotten of you
Reiterating the unfortunate truth that the world has overlooked Dolores.
I wish it wasn't true
Repeating the sentiment of Dolores being forgotten for emphasis.
The world has forgotten of you
Reemphasizing the theme of Dolores being forgotten by the world.
The world has forgot about you
Concluding the song with the assertion that the world has indeed forgotten Dolores.
