Lyrics
Baby's got cancer, looking for the answer
Baby is facing a serious illness (cancer) and seeking understanding or solutions.
She's got cancer, someone romance her
Emphasizing the illness, suggesting a desire for romantic comfort during tough times.
She was one of a kind
Describing the person with cancer as unique or special.
Now she's perfected
After dealing with the illness, she has become refined or perfected in some way.
Living on all the lies they injected
Living with the consequences of lies or deceit imposed on her.
Now she's staring at the scars that needed correction
Reflecting on physical scars that require correction.
It's not a habit she claims
Denying that dealing with the situation is a habit.
She's got American eyes
Noting that she possesses traits associated with American culture.
Letting her body go, she's dead
Allowing her body to deteriorate, possibly metaphorical for giving up.
Rejection, looking for direction
Feeling rejected and seeking guidance.
Gimme picture, gimme reception
Requesting visual or emotional input from others.
The clean smell of sin
Describing a clean but sinful essence.
She's nervous at the hips
Expressing nervousness in a specific part of the body.
The car's right outside and I'm ready to go
Ready to leave, possibly with a car symbolizing escape.
Infected, living on all of the lies she injected
Being affected by the lies injected, feeling infected.
Now I'm infected
Acknowledging personal infection and scars needing correction.
Staring at the scars in need of correction
Continuing to reflect on scars that need correction.
It's not a habit, I claim
Similar to line 8, denying that dealing with the situation is a habit.
I got American eyes
Now the narrator claims to have American eyes.
Letting my body go, I'm dead
Similar to line 10, allowing the narrator's body to deteriorate.
She's got cancer, looking for the answer
Repeating the theme of the girl with cancer seeking answers.
She's got cancer, someone romance her
Reiterating the girl's condition and the desire for romantic support.
She's one of a kind
Repeating that the girl is unique or special.
We got cancer, looking for the answer
Expanding the scope to include others (we) with cancer seeking answers.
We got cancer, looking for the answer
Repeating the collective search for answers regarding cancer.
We got cancer, looking for the answer
Continuing the theme of seeking answers to the challenges posed by cancer.
