Here I am, rise and shine
Way down of course I smile
Here is hospitality skin care tones
Clean flesh and lines tainted UV protection
This beauty here dipping neophobia
Here I am rise and shine
Way down of course I cry
Here is oblivion bathed acid red
Mute oily discolor, skin cancer, calories
Private care, sugar pills, the flak of healing.
Fragrance my escort of no meaning
This beauty here dipping neophobia.
Way down of course I smile
Here is hospitality skin care tones
Clean flesh and lines tainted UV protection
This beauty here dipping neophobia
Here I am rise and shine
Way down of course I cry
Here is oblivion bathed acid red
Mute oily discolor, skin cancer, calories
Private care, sugar pills, the flak of healing.
Fragrance my escort of no meaning
This beauty here dipping neophobia.

''Weighed down of course I smile
This beauty a dipping neophobia
Weighed down of course I cry
Private care, sugar pills, the flag of healing''
He was at the hospital and he was tried to be recovered. He weighed down and he smiled then he cried : it shows the ambivalence of the anorexia cos in the same time he was happy and unhappy of losing weight. The beauty which scares him it's to gain weight.
Private care, sugar pills, the flag of healing : It's about methods used to make him gain weight. What's More there are the word "calories" and calories are "bathed acid red" and it refers to wine. Wine contains calories but he needs to reach the "oblivion", to forget many things and to sleep. What's more wine and alcohol is a factor of cancer.
Richey in this song sspeaks a lot about "skin" and I think it may refer to self-injury and anorexia. In any case, there are themes of anorexia and dismorphophobia in this song.
I don't think it has much to do with 'beauty', as someone said. I see it as Richey scared of what's going to happen when he leaves the hospital because, obviously, things change - he had to 'stop' cutting, he had to 'stop' drinking in order to leave. It's a huge change on the body, but it's also very frightening because for him to cope, it was all he knew. He even said it in his last TV interview, him not drinking at night to fall asleep made the day longer and he had to find other methods to deal with certain things that he would usually cut for.
It reminds me of girl interrupted
I dont know why it just does, i remember there was a girl called Plly and she had torched herself because they put down her puppy or something
And Susanna, the girl watching this... I think these lyrics could also have been said from her point if view
Also if Richey wrote these when he was in the hospital then it explains everything because he must have seen so much pain and beauty there, beauty that was yet considered blank, and morbid. Because they changed it... There must have been other self harmers and anorexics there, that must have haunted him as this song haunts us
Oh my god this album is just perfect
