I know this song could be portrayed as a song for girls that had a break-up with their boyfriends, but there is a MAJOR MESSAGE that Ke$ha is saying in her song. She's telling HER story about how she sold her soul to the devil.

"When did I become such a Hypocrite?"

This verse is telling you that she is a hypocrite (meaning she shows off too much and sort of like a stripper or hooker on stage)

"I'm dancing with tears in my eyes"

This verse is showing that she's dancing on the stage, but she's doesn't want to dance in such a way on stage. She doesn't like the way she acts on stage and how much of her she is exposing to millions of people.

"Double life, lies that you caught me in"

"Double life" meaning she has a double life. When she's on stage, or making a music video, or taking photos of herself, the demon possesses her since she sold her soul to the devil.

"Trust me I'm paying for it with every move I die"

"On the floor I'm just a zombie Who I am is not who I wanna be I'm such a tragedy With every move I die"

This shows when she dances on stage, she's like a "zombie". She is probably not moving her body, but it's the demon that possessed her that is making ke$ha do all the bad things (hypocritical moves) she does on stage.

This song shows that she clearly regrets selling her soul to the devil to get trillions of dollars and become as famous as she is now. She's sorry she sold her soul to the devil now that she knows she's done for and it's too late. Ke$ha doesn't want to be who she is. She probably just wants to be a normal singer like Demi Lovato or Selena Gomez and not be a "hypocrite" on stage.

The last verse in the song I want to tell you guys about is:

"I have destroyed our love, It's gone Payback is sick It's all my fault "

Here is the verse before the final ending verse in the song. She clearly states that she has destroyed her love with God, and that it's gone, it's over and that payback really is sick. She shows how sorry she is but it's already over for her. It's all her fault. She won't have eternal life, unless a miracle happens.

CONCLUSION:

Ke$ha is sorry that she sold her soul to the devil for trillions of dollars. She's not who she wants to be, and the demon possessing her is scary to handle on stage. Ke$ha knows that she broke her love with God and that she won't have eternal life. She knows it's all her fault. But like katy perry said in her song "Dark Horse" "Once you start there's no going back". -Which is scary. Poor Ke$ha, I feel so sorry for her. :(

Ke$ha is clearly depressed about what she has become and it's all ber fault.

That's basically Ke$ha's sad life story as a celebrity. :(

Song Meaning

@KawaiiGirl

I really like your interpretation and perception of this song. Yeah, you may be absolutely right about how she feels all of the guilt from sacrificing things that are way more precious, than fame and fortune. I always like Ke$ha's music, because it is so much fun usually, but this song was sad, and showed her as a human with mistakes. Regardless of what the true meaning of the song is about, this song made me have a respect for her that I did not have before, because admitting a struggle such as in this song, has to come...

Thank You
