Pretty Like Drugs
Queen Adreena
~~*~~
In vein, I seek farther, the needle closer, the little end ...
The world is watching as I take my last breath
The world is watching as I get undressed
'Cause I'm pretty like drugs
The world is watching as my wings unfurl
The world is watching the death of a girl
'Cause I'm pretty like drugs
The world is watching with a pregnant pause
The world is watching as I fuck to applause
The world is watching as I plant the last seed
The world is watching me watching tv
'Cause I'm pretty like drugs
I load the gun
I wax and wane
Subject all of my pain
Onto you baby
'Cause I'm pretty like drugs
~~*~~
The chaos of it.
The pounding beat.
The sense of a girl going batshit crazy,
and not always in a bad way.
The song's lyrics reference drug use,
suicide, voyeurism, and violent death.
In other words,
standard rock n' roll fodder.
But for me, at least,
underneath those lyrics is the pounding
pulse of a young woman
coming into her own
come hell or high water.
