Molly
Mindless Self Indulgence Lyrics

The song "Molly" by Mindless Self Indulgence is a satirical portrayal of the reckless lifestyle and addiction to drugs that so many people in the entertainment industry engage in. The lyrics, "Molly was a good girl and she knew the reasons why, so when she went back in the bathroom she would never come outside," suggest that the subject, Molly, is addicted to the drug Ecstasy, also known as "Molly," and has retreated to the bathroom to take more of the drug. Additionally, the lyrics, "And it felt great to be a liar," suggest that Molly is consciously aware of her addiction but enjoys the temporary high that the drug gives her, despite the consequences.

Moreover, the repetition of the phrase "She's a good girl and it felt great to be a liar" is a commentary on the entertainment industry's glorification of drug abuse and the sense of glamour and excitement that it can evoke. The song's tone is ironic, as it exposes the dark and dangerous nature of addiction, while still making the act of drug abuse seem seductive and alluring.
