Oh Lolita Lyrics

Hey,
So what if this is my Louise Lane?
Someone defenseless I can save
I've got this tricky way of thinking
and it tricks me into thinking that I'm brave

The super part I'm used to
It's the man that gets me down

I guess
Tonight's the night that I suggest
That we add some copulation
To this awkward conversation
and undress

Oh, If I'm such a savior
Why am I sleeping by myself?

But you're so young
Oh Lolita
Give it up to me!

Hey
So what if this is my novacaine?
Some set of morals I can fake?
I feel it coming again

What good is being a martyr
If I cannot feel the pain?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Well, I'm pretty sure 'Lolita' refers to Vladimir Nabokov's novel... I guess the rest of the song could relate to the rest of the novel (the protagonist has a pedophilic obsession with a 12 year old named Lolita) but it doesn't seem so. 'Some set of morals I can't fake' could refer to being unable to feel remorse for this unhealthy obsession, but other parts seem different. I don't believe the protagonist in the book sees Lolita as someone he is saving, and if I'm not mistaken there is no culmination of his love (copulation) but there are some sexual favors exchanged. Still, overall the tone of the song is more like regret, guilt, almost pleading (in my opinion) where as in the book, the protagonist experiences brief bouts of guilt but does not seem overly apologetic, so perhaps 'Oh Lolita' is just a reference and the rest of the song is about something different...I don't know.
