Girl In Red Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Empty bottles everywhere
People sleeping on the stairs
Got something stuck in my hair
No idea how it got there
This is the morning after
But there's someone outside
That caught my eye
There's a dead girl in the pool
There's a dead girl in the pool
There's a dead girl in the pool
I don't know what to do
I'm the dead girl in the pool
I'm the dead girl in the pool
I'm the dead girl in the pool
I can't stop staring at my face
My summer tan has begun to fade
Is this real or is this fake
A creepy dream I can't escape
This is the morning after
My mind is such a disaster
But there's someone outside
That caught my eye
There's a dead girl in the pool
There's a dead girl in the pool
There's a dead girl in the pool
I don't know what to do
I'm the dead girl in the pool
I'm the dead girl in the pool
I'm the dead girl in the pool
I'm the dead girl in the pool
What the fuck is going on?
I'm the dead girl in the pool
(Ooh)
This is the morning after
My mind is such a disaster
But there's someone outside
That caught my eye
There's a dead girl in the pool
There's a dead girl in the pool
There's a dead girl in the pool
I'm the dead girl in the pool
I'm the dead girl in the pool
I'm the dead girl in the pool
(Ooh, ooh)
"Dead Girl in the Pool" by Girl in Red is a haunting yet catchy song that is laden with eerie undertones. The song's lyrics paint a vivid image of a disastrous morning-after scenario, with empty bottles strewn about, people sleeping on the stairs, and the singer finding something tangled in her hair that she can't identify. However, the atmosphere takes a dark turn when the lyrics turn to the revelation that there is a dead girl in the pool. Interestingly, the singer identifies herself as the dead girl in the pool, which is a striking way of flipping the concept of victimhood on its head.
The song plays with the idea of perception versus reality, with the singer questioning whether what she is experiencing is real or just a "creepy dream." The song could be interpreted as a commentary on how we can feel disconnected from our own lives and even our own bodies, as though we are living in a dreamlike state. The dead girl in the pool becomes a metaphor for the disconnection and detachment the singer feels. The repetition of the line "there's a dead girl in the pool" achieves a sense of disorientation and confusion, which reflects the singer's state of mind.
In conclusion, "Dead Girl in the Pool" is a thought-provoking song that provides an interesting commentary on the human experience. The song addresses themes of fear, loss, and disconnection, and the singer's self-identification as the dead girl in the pool creates a startling sense of unease.
