Big Girl
Barry Kristen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Burned by
The open end of a live wire
Taken under
By a lie
There's only one way under the sky
You look good, good to me
Don't say anything, just breathe
Don't say anything, just breathe
So you want to bury me under your landslide
You ain't gonna get me alive
So you want to bury me under your landslide
It ain't gonna work this time
Little girl
Big pride
The wrong end of a homicide
Made a decision
Not to be afraid
Refused to lie in the bed that you made
You're so pretty
You're so beautiful
I know you wanted me to do it
But under this moon
Under this sky
She ain't gonna let you get away with it this time
So you want to bury me under your landslide
You ain't gonna get me alive
So you want to bury me under your landslide
It ain't gonna work this time
What am
What do
What do you think I am
What do you think I am
So you want to bury me under your landslide
You ain't gonna get me alive
So you want to bury me under your landslide
It ain't gonna work this time

The opening lines speak of being taken in and burned by the open end of a live wire, representing the pain and hurt caused by someone's deception. The lyrics go on to describe a desire to bury the singer under a landslide, but despite their attempts, she refuses to be afraid and lie in the bed that was made for her. The chorus emphasizes this point, with the lyrics repeated: "So you want to bury me under your landslide, you ain't gonna get me alive. It ain't gonna work this time."
Throughout the song, there is a sense of defiance and refusal to be treated as a victim. The singer acknowledges the beauty and attractiveness of the person trying to harm her, but ultimately she refuses to give in and be controlled.
