Hey Montana take your daughter back
From the bathrooms of Angeles Vall

She believes in destiny
Her name's always mispelled
Waitressing to pay he rent
Drinks to quell the smel
Of people breathing way too close
Folks who don't mean well

No one sees the color of your eyes
No one sees you smile
No one knows the secrets that you hide
No one sees you cry

She parks her car two blocks away
From apartment 15A
She walks with somber in her step
And scores along the way

Blue's your hue you tiny thing
Dropping patrons wine
Singing to your own sad song
Two feet stuck in the mire

Hey Montana take your daughter back
It's clear she needs your care
These bustling streets are icy vains
Of a beast who snuffs her prayer

Her bones and the truth show through

So this girl grew up in the big state of Montana, right? And she wants to be a movie star. Yeah, that's the gist of it. But I like getting into line by line translation.

Hey montana take your daughter back, From the bathrooms of Angeles Vall.
- That's basically saying that the girl needs to go back to her roots, her old time home is more her style.
She believes in destiny Her names always misspelled
- Destiny, as in this she believes she was meant to be in pictures. However, she's not well known, or given respect.
Waitressing to pay the rent Drinks to quell the smell Of people breathing way too close, Folks who don't mean well
- This is saying that she needs some kind of job before making it big, and waitressing is it. But while doing it she has to deal with the bad people in Los Angeles/Hollywood -- the skeezes.
No one sees the color of your eyes No one sees your smile No one knows the secrets that you hide No one sees you cry
- Another testament to her unknown...ness. She feels that she has all of this talent and potential, but no one is able to see what she sees in herself. The last line is a result of these oversights.
She parks her car two blocks away, from apartment 15A She walks with somber in her step and scores along the way
- Back to the poor situation, with an undoubtedly shitty apartment. Now, the scoring part: that's kind of tricky. Either she scored some drugs or had sex with someone on the way home, though I'm leaning towards the drugs part. It's more fashionable, after all.
Blue's your hue you tiny thing Dropping patrons wine Singing to you own sad song Two feet stuck in the mire
- First line, she's depressed. The other parts are basically referring back to her job, her depression, and her inability to get out of it.
Hey montana take your daughter back It's clear she needs your care These bustling Streets are icy veins of a beast who snuffs her prayer
- Hey, girl who's trying to make it in Hollywood? Go home, because this city is chewing you up.
Her bones and the truth show through
- I'm thinking she died, somehow, someway, or at least lost all hope.
