Trash
DOLL Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Trash, won't pick it up, take them lights away
Trash, won't pick it up, don't take your life away
Trash, won't pick it up, don't try to take my knife away
And please don't you ask me if I love you
If you don't know what I'm doing, what you know is

Trash, won't pick it up, take them lights away
Trash, won't get it up, don't throw your love away
Trash, go pick it up, don't try to take my knife away
And please don't you ask me if I love you
'Cause I don't know why I do, what I know is

Trash, pick it up, take them lights away
Trash, won't pick it up, don't take my knife away
Trash, won't pick it up, forgot to take them all away
And please don't you ask me if I love you
'Cause I don't know if I do
I want to wipe it out here with you
And take a lover's sleep with you
I'm going to fairyland with you
I'm going to heaven blue with you
But I just don't know if I do
I just don't know if I do

Ah how do you call your loverboy?

Trash, pick it up, take them lights away
Trash, go pick it up, go put that knife away
Trash, go pick it up, don't give your life away
Trash, pick it up, don't throw your love away
Trash, pick it up, don't take my knife away
Trash, pick it up, the doctor take them all away
Trash, pick it up, don't take my knife away
Oh trash, wow, wow, my sweet baby, wow, wow
Oh, oh, trash, wow, wow, you're the one
Trash, pick it up, take them lights away
Trash, go pick it up, don't take my knife away
Trash, go pick it up, don't take them lights away
Trash, pick it up, don't take my knife away
Oh, trash, don't kick my knife away
Oh, trash, don't kick my kinfe away




Oh, trash, don't kick my knife away
Oh trash

Overall Meaning

In the song "Trash" by DOLL, the lyrics revolve around the singer's personal struggles with love and addiction. The repeated line "Trash, won't pick it up" refers to the singer's inability to clean up their own life, physically and emotionally. They are pleading for their lover to understand and not try to take their knife away, which may symbolize both a literal weapon and a metaphorical source of pain.


The chorus creates a sense of confusion and uncertainty as the singer questions their own feelings towards their lover. They don't know if they love them or if they should be with them, but they still want to go to "fairyland" and "heaven blue" with them. The line "Ah how do you call your loverboy?" adds a vague sense of disconnect, suggesting that the singer is referring to themselves in the third person and may not even view themselves as the singer of their own story.


Overall, the song presents a haunting portrayal of an individual struggling with their demons and unable to fully connect with others despite their desire to do so.
