E-Race Generation
Helalyn Flowers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I get a gun
I'm a "lady-borderline"
I've sold you pills of fear and fun
So that you felt alive
But insane
In my eyes
You saw your face
He said:
Dear lady I just want to find the key
To bleed off my innocence
I want to disappear
In my dirty dirty desires
Please erase me violently with your gun
Still in a frame of your mind
You dress my skin
Now you can feel by the senses
that an imitation pill
gave you before that your eyes
became slaves of a forbidden time,
plastic evidence,
and you're empty...
He said:
Dear lady I just want to find the key
To bleed off my innocence
I want to disappear
In my dirty dirty desires
Please erase me violently with your gun
Dear lady I just want to find the key
To bleed off my innocence
I want to disappear
In my dirty dirty desires
Please erase me
Erase me
Erase me
The lyrics of "E-Race Generation" by Helalyn Flowers are an introspective look into the mind of a "lady-borderline" who has been selling "pills of fear and fun" to people. She is aware that she has made people feel alive but insane at the same time. The lyrics depict someone who is struggling with their identity, and who they have become because of their actions. They are aware that they have caused harm but still feel a sense of emptiness within themselves.
The person she is addressing in the song asks her to erase him violently with her gun. This could mean that he wants her to help him escape his current state of mind or that he wants her to end his life. The lyrics suggest that the person has dirty desires and that he wants to disappear into them. The repetition of the phrase "Dear lady, I just want to find the key to bleed off my innocence" shows that the person is desperate to escape the person they have become.
The song is a commentary on society's obsession with self-destruction, and it questions whether it's possible to erase oneself and start anew. It's a haunting and thought-provoking song that forces the listener to introspect.
