Please Please Please
Head Automatica Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And tear open your heart so I can love you and your disease
Lick the hand that feeds you and kis the blade that cuts
I want to fuck you in your god's hands when you praying bites the dust
CHORUS
Please
Let me anoint the lust inside you
Let me devalue what's inside you
Hollywood at night hanging around
If this is a must then dying is a must right now
Hollywood at night hanging around
If this is a must then dying is a must right now
Beg for pride, And I'l deny you
Fact or fiction? Fact or fiction?
It's a mission to survive and learn to want you
When I hate, when I hate, what's all inside
CHORUS
The lyrics to Head Automatica's song Please Please Please is a dark and intense portrayal of a toxic relationship. The singer is addressing their partner who is seemingly obsessed with self-destruction and wallowing in their own misery. The partner is described as someone who screams louder than fiction, which can be interpreted as them being louder and more dramatic than any movie character. The singer implores the partner to tear open their heart so they can love them and their disease, which could be interpreted as the partner being someone who indulges in self-sabotage.
The partner is then told to lick the hand that feeds them and kiss the blade that cuts, which is a reference to the partner's tendency to indulge in destructive behavior. The singer then mentions wanting to have sex with the partner in their god's hands when their prayers go unanswered. This is a clear allusion to the partner's religious beliefs, which are being used against them to further the singer's own interests.
The chorus of the song continues with the singer saying "Please, Let me anoint the lust inside you, Please, Let me devalue what's inside you". This can be interpreted as the singer wanting to control the partner and manipulate them into doing whatever they want. The singer then mentions Hollywood at night hanging around and says that dying is a must right now. This could be seen as the two of them living a fast-paced lifestyle and engaging in risky behavior, with death being a constant possibility.
Overall, the song is a chilling portrayal of an abusive relationship, with the singer manipulating and controlling their partner for their own selfish reasons.

Please

Hollywood at night hanging around
If this is a must then dying is a must right now
Hollywood at night hanging around
If this is a must then dying is a must right now
The glamour and allure of Hollywood at night have made death seem like a preferable option, given the situation.
Beg for pride, And I'll deny you
Fact or fiction? Fact or fiction?
It's a mission to survive and learn to want you
When I hate, When I hate, what's all inside
Even if you beg for validation, I will reject you. The line between reality and fantasy is blurred, making it difficult to discern what's genuine. It's a challenge to keep going and develop feelings for you despite my negative emotions towards you.
