Lyrics
She drinks the night away she does
She indulges in drinking to escape or cope with her troubles during the night.
She drinks her life away she does
Her excessive drinking is a way of avoiding or numbing the difficulties in her life.
Tonight she faced the truth of love
This night, she confronted the reality of love, possibly facing challenges or heartbreak.
And now she feels so very low
As a result of facing love's truth, she now experiences deep emotional lows.
But no-one seemed to care when Molly said she felt unwell
Molly expressed feeling unwell, but others didn't show concern or empathy.
Now Molly's in the ground and her parents aren't very well
Molly has passed away, and her parents are now grieving and unwell.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Repetitive refrain expressing a somber or melancholic mood.
She drinks her nights away she does
Continuation of Molly's habit of drinking excessively during the night.
She drinks her friends away she does
Her drinking has affected her relationships, causing friends to drift away.
Well who knew alcohol would be so lonely when you've got no-one to love
Alcohol becomes a lonely companion when there is no one to love.
And all the good times will be lessons soon if you don't learn how to cope
Emphasizes that enjoyable moments become valuable lessons if coping skills aren't developed.
But no-one seemed to care when Molly said she felt unwell
Reiteration of Molly feeling unwell and the lack of concern from others.
Now Molly's in the ground and her parents aren't very well
Reiteration of Molly's demise and the impact on her parents.
Oh oh oh It's Molly's game
Repetitive chorus emphasizing that it's "Molly's game" with a sense of inevitability.
Oh oh oh It's Molly's game
-Oh oh oh It's Molly's game
-Oh oh oh It's Molly's game yeah
-But no-one seemed to care when Molly said she felt unwell
Repeat of the lack of concern when Molly expressed her struggles.
Now Molly's in the ground and her parents aren't very well
Reiteration of Molly's passing and the ongoing impact on her parents.
Yeah no-one seemed to care when Molly said she felt unwell
Repeat of the theme of indifference towards Molly's emotional state.
Now Molly's in the ground and her parents aren't very well
Final repetition of Molly's demise and its toll on her parents' well-being.
