Mascara Lyrics
Because your eyes are always on your feet
If you ever looked up then you'd see the sun
and the morining you wonder why things are so bleak..?
Boring and old are the things you're told
about the outside world,
and just wearing black won't take care of that
Don't be stupid girl
Down on your knees trying to appease
Somebodys mixed up statement
Cause in not much time
Your beliefs that are lies
Will be left on the pavement
They'll be left by the way
About all your preaching
and I don't wanna know.
'Cause that's just conforming
And that is not what you wanna be
Down on your knees trying to appease
Somebody's mixed up statement
Cause in not much time
Your beliefs that are lies
Will be left on the pavement
They'll be left by the way
Oh by the pavement
Oh don't be stupid girl
You're in your world
Don't dress in black
Wont take care of that
Don't be, be so stupid girl
This song rocks. It just does. It's about thinking for yourself and not taking any crap from anyone.
A nonconformist song. There's a message that says experience things for yourself, make your own decisions, and don't rely on the opinions of others to dictate your outlook on life. Don't be stupid, see things for yourself before forming an opinion on them. Hiding away won't change what's there, and what's commonly thought isn't a necessary truth, so leave it behind.
But what if blacks the colour your comftable in cause i know so many people who are the most laid back n comftable in black because we're being true to ourselves not tryna be the bright colours it just isnt us think of it that way.
I think it's about a girl that used to be herself, but as she grew up she got sucked into being in one of the cliques she was surrounded by. Also, does the line "on your knees trying to appease somebody's mixed up statement" sound sexual to anyone else? Like, she was told she was frigid so she was "down on her knees", so to speak, to try and prove them wrong. So, it's just about peer pressure in general? I don't know, that's just always what it made me think of. Great song =]
I think a verse was left out...
"Walking and always talking
But never listening,
You just kick back.
How do you handle
All the bullshit that gets thrown your way?"
I dunno, these lyrics are just weird...
yeah..that was left out
good song

I think it's actually saying the opposite of this. If you listen carefully it says "wearing black wont take care of that, don't be stupid girl". This is saying that being a non-conformist, dressing in black and so forth, will not solve a single thing. It is encouraging people to snap out of it.
I agree with Juzo. This song is saying that non-conformists are stupid. They conform to their own ridiculous non-conformist standards, focus entirely on being seen by others as a rebel, and accomplish nothing. I think this is one of the most intelligent songs ever written. Yay killing heidi
its about not letting what you label yourself dictate your life. e.g. goth, jock, princess ect. doesnt matter what you label yourself its still conforming to someones beliefs rather than your own.
