Girl In Stilletos
Annah Mac Lyrics

Powerlines, Pohutukawa trees
The scenery is a melding of powerlines and trees, a perfect mix of urbanization and nature.

Make an in-between for everything I own
The location is a blending of settings, bridging two different environments.

Got my license on the hird time
It took three attempts to pass her driver's license test.

Travelling down the gravel that really is a main road
The road is unpaved but is still a primary route that's traveled often.

People stare
Strangers are regularly gawking at her.

Sun in my hair
Sunlight reflects off her hair, creating the perfect visual snapshot.

Window down, feel like something off a movie
She's fantasizing that her life is like a scene from the movies.

Girl dreaming of her big break
She's hoping to get her chance to be a star someday.

And all the money she'll make
Her goal is not only fame but fortune too.

Saving money up for next year
She is currently budgeting her earnings to use next year.

They're watching me
She has an audience.

On the big stage; red, green, and mallow
The stage is brightly lit and a vibrant mixture of colors.

Young and free
She feels young and carefree, unencumbered by life's expectations.

Turn the lights on me
Her moment has arrived; it's time for her to shine.

Take three
This is the third take of a music video or some sort of recorded material.

Oh but all they see
Despite being well-prepared, only one element of her attire captures everyone's attention.

Is a girl in stilettos
People are distracted by her footwear and not focusing on her performance.

When all I want
Despite the audience's reactions, she just wants one thing.

Is to get up there and sing!
She's passionate about expressing her love of music, and it's her dream to make it or die trying.

Thank God I don't smoke anymore
Grateful for not being addicted to cigarettes anymore.

Leaves me one less thing to hide
The cigarette smoke would have concealed some of her other features.

And I don't really miss the 1950s fishermen
She doesn't miss the males who attempted to flirt with her.

Trying to chat me up outside
The 1950s fishermen were attempting to woo her.

I see
She's conscious of what's occurring around her.

People's stares
People continue to check her out.

Feel my own tears
She's self-aware and vulnerable.

Looking down it's like they all just wanna do me
She believes they're all judging her in a sexual way.

Mr Understanding
A character who provides her with a sense of familiarity and safety.

Pulls up a chair
He greeted her and decided to join her.

Puts a hand on my shoulder
It's a gesture of comfort.

'Let me buy your next beer'
He offers to buy her another drink.

Three Februaries
She's been doing this for three years or more.

Feels like a century
It feels like she's been chasing her dreams for a long time.

Things are spinning way out of control
She's worried about losing grip on things that are important to her.

Oh you tell me wait a while
Somebody may advise her to persevere and be patient.

But I'm not gonna smile
Not even a little bit; she must be feeling angry and frustrated.

I've decided you're an asshole
She's probably talking back to that someone who didn't offer the expected response or empathy.

Window down and I'm watching lots of movies
She indulges in movies as a way of relaxation and escape.

Still dreaming of the big break
Her dream hasn't died yet.

And all the money can wait
She's placing more importance on her musical passion than her economic gain.

I'm saving up for next year
She's prioritizing saving money for next year.

La da da da da da
Sounds that do not hold any real meaning.

La da da da da da da
Sounds that do not hold any real meaning.
