Tickle Me Pink – Madeline Lyrics 8 years ago
"There's a girl back home I use to know
She cried her self to sleep every night
We all knew
We all knew
Only girl who would ever compromise
Strike a deal with the devil to save a night
We all knew
We all knew"

Town girl suffering from depression and trying to fight back with drugs. Everyone knew her situation but no one tried to help or do anything, hence the emphasis on "we all knew" because everyone knew her state but none helped.

"She tried to call me a month ago
To sing me a song that she just wrote
But I wasn't home
I should've know
That time had taken it toll
She had no place to go"

She actually asked for help, for attention but due to her "habit" she was ignored or pushed back. She grew weak and with no other place to turn too...
"They found her body resting by the river."


"Oh I never said good bye
I wish I would have tried
I couldn't hear her cries
As she filled her veins with lies
Until she saw the light"

Regretting not taking action, not being able to hear her desperate plea for help, till she O.D on purpose.

"I remember we would hide behind the trees
Smoking cigarettes until our throats would bleed
Those were the days
Those were the days
Yeah
Never scared
Never worried that the summer would end
Invincible to every sharp end
We drove so fast
Thought it would last"

They used to be close friends spending summers togather, but slowly drifted away from each other.

"But time had taken it toll
She had no place to go"

Slowly drifted from each other and her depression caught on, pulling her towards the habit.

"We still have September"
Probably it was a significant month, like an anniversary for the 2 of them (lead and Madeline)

"If I could could turn back time
I'd find a way to remind you
That some how you could try to give in and fight the good fight
Oh you didn't have to die
You filled your veins with lies
My precious Madeline"

He regrets not saving her, especially when he knew he could have saved her..
He regrets letting his precious Madeline lose herself, and him losing her...

.... depression is strong cruel silent killer... And not everyone can survive it alone. It does not discriminate and it hides in plain site. If you know someone that struggles, please... Dont give up on them, whatever you do , as small as.it might seem, it might be enough just to prevent a horrible mistake that planty would regret .
