The lyrics of Descartes A Kant's song Maniqui Bordello reflect a commentary on societal expectations of women and girls. The repeated line of "stop it right now, it's not fun anymore" can be interpreted as a plea to stop the societal pressures and roles that are stifling and limiting for women. The use of the dolls, Barbie, in particular, is a metaphor for how society expects women and girls to conform to rigid and unrealistic beauty standards that are unattainable for most. The line "Barbies are stupid just like girls are" reveals the bitter reality of how women are often viewed as objectified and superficial beings, lacking in intelligence and depth.
The song seeks to challenge these gender stereotypes by confronting them head-on with its sharp and biting lyrics. It is a powerful anthem that speaks to the frustration and anger felt by many women who are forced to navigate the constraints of a patriarchal society. Ultimately, the song encourages women to break free from societal expectations and to embrace their individuality and strength.
