Girl Like Me
4.03 - Ladyhawke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I’m gonna shin myself before your innocent eyes
You’re ready now to forget what we have
You’d better seal it tight before the memories go bad
Between devil in the deep blue sea
I saw you dancing with a girl like me
I watched in silence as you held her hands
For a girl like me [2x]
It’s getting late and I pretend not to see
I’m planning my move in, just you sounded creepy
I I I I I I I I I heard you’re leaving and I’ll never know why
Between devil in the deep blue sea
I saw you dancing with a girl like me
I watched in silence as you held her hands
It’s all down the river for a girl like me
For a girl like me [2x]
I I I I I I I I I heard you’re leaving and I’ll never know why
Between devil in the deep blue sea
I saw you dancing with a girl like me
I watched in silence as you held her hands
It’s all down the river for a girl like me
For a girl like me [2x]
The lyrics to Ladyhawke's "Girl Like Me" express a sense of confusion and betrayal felt by the singer after witnessing their romantic interest dancing with another woman. The opening lines reveal that the singer is in a state of euphoria without a clear reason why. However, this feeling quickly turns into self-doubt as she contemplates exposing herself before someone with "innocent eyes" and realizing their relationship may be coming to an end.
The chorus references a familiar idiom "between the devil and the deep blue sea," meaning one is caught between two equally difficult situations. In this case, the singer finds herself in a compromising position where her interest is with another woman while she watches in silence. The line "it's all down the river for a girl like me" suggests that the singer believes their relationship is doomed, and she is resigned to this fate.
The last verse again references the singer's inability to understand why her romantic interest is leaving, leaving the song on a frustrated note. Overall, the song conveys a feeling of being lost and uncertain in a relationship and not knowing what to do.

YEAH! I'm not a huge fan of Ladyhawke but this is awesome. What with all these kiwi's doing well overseas and Ladyhawke being on Vampire Diaries. And then the hobbit being filmed here and stuff. Peter Jackson being from here. What an awesome year to be a kiwi. So proud. I really wanna be a singer after highschool and uni. I hope I can make NZ proud too :)
