Mary
A Toys Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
the words turn into ash on your tongue
the dogs begin to bark when you walk
why does everybody love you?
mary your war
has just begun but you have won before
a touch up on your make up and go
cause everybody loves the way you burn
mary your gun
it smells like a cherry lip gloss
your heels are leaving holes in the floor
your breath is nourished by mine
mary you burn
just like the sun still burns on the stone
just like a magnifier on a moth
and everybody loves the way you burn
and all the world will burn with you
all your lies become the truth
all your bets will always lose
falling stars just look for you
and i am dieyng to ask to you:
can i burn in your arms oh mary?
The song "Mary" by A Toys Orchestra is a dark and mysterious piece that creates a haunting atmosphere through its lyrics and sound. The main theme seems to be about a woman named Mary who is feared or possibly even worshipped by those around her for her dangerous and alluring qualities. The first verse paints a picture of Mary as a person with a fiery personality and possibly even a short temper- "mary you burn, the words turn into ash on your tongue, the dogs begin to bark when you walk". Despite this, she seems to hold a certain power over others that makes them drawn to her.
The second verse delves deeper into Mary's character, hinting at some sort of past trauma or conflict that has shaped who she is now- "mary your war has just begun but you have won before". Despite this, she seems to be confident in her own abilities and appearance, using makeup to enhance her already striking features and leaving her mark everywhere she goes. The chorus ties all of these ideas together, with the repeated line "everybody loves the way you burn" echoing throughout.
Overall, "Mary" is a song that leaves a lot to interpretation, but it's clear that Mary is a complex and intriguing character that captures the attention of those around her. The music itself is a blend of electric and acoustic instruments, with a steady beat and haunting melody that matches the tone of the lyrics perfectly.
