Bolchi Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I live in a plastic world
I am so fantastically shaped
Like a doll in a shop
Raped when u blow me up

I live in the tele world
I am so hermetically packed
Like take-away food

Wacked any way I could

But you know what?
When my Barbie dreamboy comes around
I just can't help it and start melting down
Because u know what?
After close inspection u'll see I'm made of
Silicone, silicone, silicone

I'm a silicone woman
I'm a silicone woman
I can't feel
Nothing's real
I can't touch
Do nothing much
I'm a silicone woman
I'm a silicone woman
I can't move
I can't breathe
I can't groove
I can't feed
I'm a silicone woman

I look like a moviestar
And I can know cause I have watched
So much
Tele-cyber-vision

I live in a plastic world
I am so fantastically shaped
Like a doll in a shop
Raped when u blow me up

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bolchi's song "Silicone" delve into the idea of living in a world that is superficial and plastic. The singer of the song is a woman who feels like she is living in a fantasy world where everything is perfectly shaped and packaged, just like a doll in a shop. She likens herself to a plastic doll that can be inflated and distorted to fit any desired shape, and a take-away food that can be consumed in any way imaginable.

Despite the allure of living in a perfect, idealized world, the woman realizes that she is unable to feel anything real. She cannot touch, move, breathe, or even feed. She is completely immobile and unresponsive, existing only as a synthetic, silicone woman.

However, when a potential love interest comes around, the woman finds herself starting to "melt down." She longs for real, human connection, but knows deep down that she is only made of plastic and silicone. The song ultimately serves as a commentary on the dangers of living in a world that values superficial beauty and perfection over genuine human connection and emotion.

Overall, "Silicone" is a haunting reflection on the ways in which society's obsession with perfection and beauty can strip us of our humanity and leave us feeling empty and devoid of real emotion.
