Lyrics

She once was seventeen but she never fall in love

Despite being seventeen once, she never experienced love.

Because she never felt the same

Her emotions never matched those of others; she felt differently.

Like the other ones at school

She didn't conform to the norms of her peers at school.

Like all the other boys and girls around

She didn't fit in with the boys and girls around her.


Misery, talk to me

Expression of misery, a plea for communication.

Youth and greed, walk with me

An invitation for youth and greed to accompany her, possibly symbolic of life's challenges.


Now she's thirty three but there isn't anything

At thirty-three, there's little significant change in her life.

The really changed in her life

No substantial moments or changes have occurred.

Not a moment not a while

Neither a moment nor a while has brought notable change.

She is married, bore a child

She is married and has borne a child.

Growing old, growing older all the time

Reflecting on the continuous process of aging.

And she cries

Despite her situation, she cries.


A whining sound slips from her mouth

Describing a whining sound escaping her mouth, possibly indicating inner pain.

Trapped in here and no way out

Feeling trapped with no apparent way out.


Wait a while, wait a while

An expression urging patience or delay.

Mommy's pills will bring you to the other side

Suggesting that taking pills can transport one to another state, perhaps alluding to escape or relief.


Wait a while, wait a while

Reiteration of the need to wait, this time mentioning the potential effects of using razorblades.

Daddy's razorblades will make you feel so fine

Implies that using razorblades might induce a pleasant feeling.
