Sweet Ophelia Lyrics

Lyric discussion by RawSpirit 

Cover art for Sweet Ophelia lyrics by Zella Day

This song is about pedophilia and nothing else. That's why it's called "sweet ophelia", because they can't just go writing "pedophilia" into their lyrics, so they choose a perfect rhyme to substitute in its place. Investigate pedogate please and thank you.

My Interpretation

@RawSpirit I disagree that it's pedophilia since Day is taking the perspective of trying to talk the girl out of having sex. I think Ophelia is young but not biologically too young for sex. I'm also picking up a tone like Day is saying she regrets her first time either for her age or the person involved or both.
