The Mona Lisa
Ladies and gentlemen, I've got a little story to tell
About Mona Lisa and how she suddenly fell
See everyone knew her, they knew her oh so well
Now I am taking over to release her from her spell
She's unforgettable
She wants you to know
She's been gone
It's kind of incredible
She's so unpredictable
She wants you to know
She's been gone, she's been gone, she's been gone
She was taken under drowning in her sea
Running like an angel, she was crying and could not see, oh no
Now see everyone's watching as she starts to fall
They want her to breakdown be a legend of her fall
She's the original
She's unforgettable
She wants you to know
She's been gone
It's kind of incredible
She's so unpredictable
She wants you to know
She's been gone, she's been gone, she's been gone
Ladies does that make you cry?
Mona Lisa's got to fly, nobody really dies
Everyone, may we have a moment of silence right here
God
She's the original
She's unforgettable
She wants you to know
She's been gone
It's kind of incredible
She's so unpredictable
She wants you to know
That she's home, that she's home
She's the original
She's unforgettable
She wants you to know
She's been gone
It's kind of incredible
She's so unpredictable
She wants you to know
That she's home, that she's home, that she's home
The song "Mona Lisa" by Britney Spears is a message about the struggles of fame, success, and loss of privacy. The Mona Lisa is used as a metaphor for the struggles of a celebrity, specifically a female, who is trying to escape the pressure and the constant publicity. The opening lyrics introduce the story of Mona Lisa and her sudden fall, implying that a celebrity's fall from grace is often sensationalized and celebrated by the media and the public. Britney Spears then takes over the narrative, stating that she wants to release Mona Lisa from the spell that fame had cast on her.
The lines "She was taken under drowning in her sea/Running like an angel, she was crying and could not see, oh no" describes the feeling of being overwhelmed and lost, where one cannot see a way out, and is struggling to keep up a facade. The chorus "She's the original, she's unforgettable/She wants you to know she's been gone" reinforces the idea that the person, in this case, Mona Lisa, is unique and irreplaceable and that her absence has been felt by her fans. The last lines "That she's home, that she's home, that she's home" indicate that the person in question has finally found solace and has returned to herself.
