Hey Montana Lyrics

Cover art for Hey Montana lyrics by Eve 6

I never thought of the thing about the girl being from montana and it being a call for her to give up her dreams and move back home. I think you are right on that part, now that I think about it. The problem, however, seems to be that you missed a big sub-theme of prostitution. She might have moved to Angeles Vall to be a movie star, but in order to survive she became a prostitot[sic].

Lines that corroborate:

Hey montana take your daughter back, From the bathrooms of Angeles Vall. -Take her back from the bathrooms of Angeles Vall? She scrubbing toilets? I think this might just be a metaphor for the double minus life she is leading or it could be something about her turning tricks.

Waitressing to pay the rent Drinks to quell the smell Of people breathing way too close, Folks who don't mean well

  • I think the waitressing is just a front for the other business she keeps. The folks who don't mean well I think are her clients. That is what is meant by the breathing way too close thing.

No one sees the color of your eyes No one sees your smile No one knows the secrets that you hide No one sees you cry

  • If what you say is true and she did move to Cali to become famous, then these four lines put an interesting spin on things. I think the "no one" here is are her clients again. They don't see the girl that moved down to become famous, they only see the hot peice they are going to get.

She parks her car two blocks away, from apartment 15A She walks with somber in her step and scores along the way

  • Scores along the way?

Her bones and the truth show through

  • I think this is the only line that might go along with the drug use thing.

Yeah. That's what I think.
