| Melaine Adele Martinez – Tag, You're It Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| This song is extremely dark. It tells the story of a sexual abuse abductee (as seen in the first verses). Crybaby (The protagonist of this concept album) is walking when she is taken into an older mans car. The chorus is her trying to run away, him chasing her, and him taking her to the ground (seen in the lyrics 'Grabbed my hair and pushed me down, Took the words right out my mouth') The lyrics 'Can anybody hear me when I'm hidden under ground, Can anybody hear me when I'm talking to myself?' is in regard to her being in the mans car, losing hope, feeling like no one will hear her scream. The next verse is about her being chained up in his house. he has used her, and never wants her to escape (' "I love it when I hear you breathing, I hope to God you're never leaving" ') After another chorus, the next chorus is a play on nursery rhymes, 'Eenie meenie miny mo, Catch a lady by her toes, If she screams, don't let her go'. Its being applied to her story, and how she tried to scream, buy no one heard her. The last two lines of that verse I don't completely understand ('Your mother said to pick the very best girl, And I am') , but I think its referring to how she was always the golden child, and now all these terrible, unforeseeable things are happening to her. The song ends after just one more chorus. I think this song was pretty straight forward, and I really enjoy it. | |
