The lyrics feel like a person who is frustrated with many aspects of her life, and putting a brave face on it.
The Violet reference is interesting, after all she used the violets eyes demo here (ah ah ah hey hey hey).
It could be a person speaking about having confided to someone their unhappiness with this life & and that person has told her to focus on the positive, hold their head up but given no real help, not really listened to her.
I kinda feel the chin up verse is almost sarcastic, as though she's repeating something often told to her.
Blondes here don't jump out cakes - life here is not a party (is this real enough for you- this is how it is)
"Comply with an Authorithy that would Subsidize my wild side but at this altar was sacrificed" ? Altar as in marriage? Her wild side was iconic in her early career and the record people capitalized it at the time but is she saying she sacrificed a large part of her career with her marriage?
Since this follows with "you can laugh a femme fatale in a brides dress/ now married to the effortlessness of the cracks"
Almost like people could see this marriage as a joke / "NOW married to..." like this person is now just staying in the marriage because it's the easiest thing to do.
When I hear of one more bomb (may not mean a literal bomb, but another example of things blowing up in her life) yes we have all been robbed of song (going back to the at this altar was sacrificed)
Nightingales- florence nightingale? Does she mean all the saviours/angels are giving up?
