Whore

This song is about someone who was told (esp. by a specific person) that they wouldn't amount to anything or weren't worth anything. Now, they're living a nice life and turned out pretty damn well, but they say it wasn't easy. /And you don't know about this life I've lived/ Or these roads I've walked/ Or these deaths I've bled/ So now, the person(s) who gave the speaker all this crap is begging them for things and adoring them. He/She is also in a sense saying that the only reason that they have come this far is because they had that fuel behind them telling them to prove all the haters wrong. /I am the dark you created/ I am a sinner/ I am your whore/

I think it's about how conservative men view women they deem as "sluts" and how they act like they're so much better than those women, when in reality they are obsessed with them and are more perverted than they let on.

It's "I am the doll you created" c:

Straight from an interview with Maria Brink herself:

"Our single just came out, "Whore." It's a powerful song. I want people to know the meaning in that song. It's about taking the power back for something degrading and public humiliation — when people are cold to other people or stoning other people because they're different or they don't understand them. ... It's about learning to love ourselves and not letting other people's words and harsh ways affect us, because that's really their perception and that's their world. The reason why I used such a strong word ... (is) so that they can really get the empowerment behind the song."

I'm the girl you're thinking about The one thing you can't live without Yeah, I'm the girl you've been waiting for I'll have you down on your knees I'll have you begging for more

You probably thought I wouldn't get this far You thought I'd end up in the back of a car You probably thought that I'd never escape I'd be a rat in a cage, I'd be enslaved in this place

You don't know how hard I fought to survive Waking up all alone when I was left to die And you don't know about this life I've lived Or these roads I've walked Or these deaths I've bled

[Refrain] So how can this be? You're praying to me There's a look in your eyes I know just what that means I can be, I can be your everything...

I can be your whore I am the dark you created I am the sinner I am your whore Let me tell you something baby You love me for everything you hate me for

I'm the one that you need and fear Now that you heard this I'll be coming clear That higher judgement that you placed on me is a reflection of the stuff I write

So maybe next time when you cast your stones From the shadows and the dark unknown You will crawl out of your hiding place Take a look in the mirror and see the truth on your face

So how can this be? You're praying to me There's a look in your eyes I know just what that means I can be, I can be your everything...

The That's a look on I am the dark you created I am the sinner I am your whore Let me tell you something baby You love me You want me You need me

So how can this be? You're praying to me There's a look in your eyes I know just what that means I can be, I can be your everything...

What if it's very basically about a man and a woman who have a very carnal relationship that has a certain masochistic tone to it. She's been through a lot and no matter how strong she is on her own, she feels attached to someone who doesn't love her the way she loves him...Or at least he's not willing to admit his feelings for her and chooses to live in the lusty side of life with her never allowing her to build on her vision of the relationship to a more fulfilling level of spiritual and socially acceptable way.

this song is about someone who got treated like shit by the person theyre singing about and after they were "left to die", the person (who got treated like shit) got better, and reached the top, but somehow instead of resenting the person that did them wrong or anything similar, they seem to still want to be under this persons power, as if they seek validation from them or like them in some way and dont understand that theyre more than them now.

to me this song is about how a relationship fell apart and how he thought she would not amount to nothing and bad mouth her saying she was a whore. so she is basically saying after all the struggles she felt when he left her she got back on her feet and if doing better in life makes her whore so be it she will embrace that name and

It is where anyone looks down on someone for the things they see in themselves. You hate the whore that shows you yourself! I believe that the song is talking about the hypocrisy that is in society between sexual lust(any desire) and the love or addiction for the sin that one hates so much. Some hate publicly but love and embrace in private while fighting feelings or self-loathing and guilt and shame. So they reflect those negative feelings on those they see as whores. It is common among people who say the women in the porn industry are whores and yet in privacy indulge in the very acts they have publicly condemned. It's not a specific group (example: Christians) but all people who hate the uncleaniness in our own hearts and minds.

I think it is about the entertainment industry and how up comers are treated and made to play just for the machine. When they drop in sales, they have to do something drastic to stay on top or they get dropped and left in the gutter with a bill for being helped with corporate funds. "If you don't dance like a good monkey for the people, you can be replaced."
