Shimmer Like A Girl Lyrics
It's a shame you have a mind of your own now.
Shame on you, completely setting the tone now.
I've caught you bleeding under my skin now.
I fought you, but you're beginning to win now.
Well I don't care, I swear it's my turn now.
Shimmer, shimmer like a girl should, yeah.
Shimmer, shimmer like a girl should, yeah.
Shimmer, shimmer like a girl should,
You gotta get it glimmer, shimmer, sparkle while you can.
Shame crashing, falling off of the tracks now.
Get cracking at the small of my back now.
I failed you and they're beginning to talk now.
I nailed you until you're walking the walk now.
Well I don't care, I swear it's my turn now.
Shimmer, shimmer like a girl should, yeah.
Shimmer, shimmer like a girl should, yeah.
Shimmer, shimmer like a girl should,
You gotta get it glimmer, shimmer, sparkle while you can.
Yeaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
(do-doot-do)
Shimmer, shimmer like a girl should, yeah.
Shimmer, shimmer like a girl should, yeah.
Shimmer, shimmer like a girl should, yeah.
Shimmer, shimmer like a girl should, yeah.
Yeah, shimmer, shimmer like a girl should, yeah.
Shimmer, shimmer like a girl should, yeah.
Shimmer, shimmer like a girl should, yeah.
Shimmer, shimmer like a girl should, yeah.
Shimmer, yeah, shimmer, yeah
Shimmer like a good girl.
(do-doot-do, yeah.)
(Not part of the song, but part of the track)
Hi, I'm Louise.
I'm Nina.
I'm Jim.
And I'm Steve.
We're Veruca Salt.
And you're listening to Blow It Out Your Ass

The song is just full of sarcasm - it's my fave VS track. We're supposed to "shimmer" like girls should - I think it's about defying stereotypes and standing up for yourself as a female. It's got a very riot-grrrl feel to it.
I agree with Lougolas. It seems kind of like a hit at the female stereotypes, like she's sick of trying to 'shimmer' like a good girl's s'posed to. Veruca Salt kick ass, even without Nina they still rock.
Awesome song! Sounds to me like she's bitter towards some guy.
yes it's definietely about a girl wanting to just be wild and herself and not think of what other people think of her - like society taught us. To be "dirty" and full of energy, just to live. But maybe "shimmer" also is a symbol for having power. maybe it is meant to ironically have 2 contrary meanings.
I think "Blow it out your ass it's Veruca Salt" is the best part of their musical history. Also American Thighs and the Seether Single ("She's a brain"!)... I love them a lot, but I don't like their pop-songs/bits so much...

It is probably about how as women we are told that we are worth less than men and how it is so difficult to fight against these inequalities and living our lives without self-doubt. To be able to be ourselves.
