Doll Parts
Hole Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am doll eyes, doll mouth, doll legs
I am doll arms, big veins, dog beg
Yeah, they really want you
They really want you, they really do
Yeah, they really want you
They really want you and I do too

I want to be the girl with the most cake
I love him so much, it just turns to hate
I fake it so real, I am beyond fake
And someday, you will ache like I ache

And someday, you will ache like I ache
And someday, you will ache like I ache
And someday, you will ache like I ache
And someday, you will ache like I ache

I am doll parts, bad skin, doll heart
It stands for knife
For the rest of my life
Yeah, they really want you
They really want you, they really do
Yeah, they really want you
They really want you, but I do too

I want to be the girl with the most cake
He only loves those things
Because he loves to see them break
I fake it so real, I am beyond fake
And someday, you will ache like I ache

And someday, you will ache like I ache
And someday, you will ache like I ache
And someday, you will ache like I ache
And someday, you will ache like I ache
And someday, you will ache like I ache
And someday, you will ache like I ache





Someday, you will ache like I ache

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Hole's "Doll Parts" song speak to the feelings of a woman who feels like she's being objectified, seen only as a pretty face meant to be admired and desired. The use of the metaphor "doll parts" to describe herself shows that she feels like she's seen as a lifeless object and not as a human being with emotions and thoughts. She longs to be the girl with the most cake, to have all the attention, and be admired for something more than just her looks. However, at the same time, she is dealing with a feeling of deep love and hate towards someone, possibly a lover or someone who has hurt her. The line "He only loves those things because he loves to see them break" suggests that this person enjoys breaking things or people, which could explain the singer's conflicting emotions of love and hate.


The lyrics also suggest that the singer is pretending to be someone she's not. She "fakes it so real" and is "beyond fake," indicating that she's putting on an act to conform to what she thinks others want her to be. She may be doing this to protect herself from being objectified, abused, or taken advantage of, but in the end, it causes her pain, and she hopes that others will feel that pain someday. This song speaks to the difficult and often contradictory feelings that women experience in a society that often values women for their looks above all else.

The reason we feel this way is because we arecut off from God by our sins against Him. Here is the roadmap to show how you and everyone can find Him.
Site Map
We’re all explorers in unfamiliar territory. How do you find the way? You read the map.


THE WORLD IS DESIGNED
Look at your hand. All those muscles, nerves, blood vessels; skin, fingernails, touch sensors –did those just happen? Of course not. Evolutionists have to try to lead people away from what is intuitively obvious: we are designed for life. Your hand is just one of a billion signposts that life is the result of an intelligent cause – not chance. Illustra Media’s excellent films on Intelligent Design leave no other option: the universe has been Master-planned (watch The Case for a Creator online). Science can lead you to this signpost The rest will take logic, historical evidence, and honest reflection.

THE DESIGNER IS PERSONAL
Out of nothing, nothing comes. Your mind – your thoughts and emotions, and your power to choose – have a source: a Creator with intellect, emotions, and will. No “force” or cosmic accident could produce a mind. Those who say the mind is made of chemicals cannot prove their thoughts have any validity—including their thoughts that the mind is made of chemicals. Your mind is the next signpost: the Creator is personal.

THE DESIGNER IS MORAL
We all know right from wrong. Ask a person who believes morals are relative, and you will find him or her passionately defending some cause or other as right. Treat that person unjustly, and they will tell you that you were wrong to do that. Anyone who says morals evolved from our animal past cannot prove anything is morally wrong, including the horrible notion that someday a terrorist nation might seek to kill off all the evolutionists. Would that be wrong, according to Darwinism? Your conscience provides daily evidence that morality is real – and that we all violate our own moral standards.

THE DESIGNER IS ETERNAL
Once you’ve followed these signs, you realize that the Designer who really exists—who really created the world and life—must be an eternal, all-powerful, all-wise, moral being. A local designer won’t do. Otherwise, truth would only be true locally, and right would only be right locally. The universe must have an unchanging, timeless reference point. That eternal reference point is your next signpost.

THE DESIGNER IS ONE
Ancient religions that taught polytheism (lots of gods) ended up telling stories of those gods fighting each other. They could never say who made all the gods. Even their chief gods were said to emerge from the void. No; the universe has one, and only one, Master Architect.

THE DESIGNER COMMUNICATES
Humans are communicative beings. It makes no sense that the Designer of human beings He made to relate, share, and communicate would be silent Himself, or would hide His signposts from them. The eternal moral Judge of all would not leave His creatures clueless about His laws. God has put the light of His existence into creation, our minds and our consciences. Light received brings more light. Keep in mind these directions: “turn right at the light.”

THE BIBLE IS THAT COMMUNICATION
There are many holy books in the world, but there is only one that is rooted in history: the Bible. It’s not just the speculations of a guru; it can be checked against other historical sources. The Bible is a collection of 66 books, written by different authors at different times, who all agree on the nature of God and the requirements for salvation. Where it speaks of history, it is right. Where it speaks to science, it is right. No other “holy book” comes close.

THE BIBLE FORETOLD A SAVIOR
From the first book (Genesis) to the arrival of Jesus, the Bible foretold a day when the Lord would visit His people and wash away their sins. One of the most remarkable prophecies of all, Isaiah 53, described how this innocent “Servant” would be beaten and pierced, suffering for the sins of the people. Isaiah 9:6 foretold he would be the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the prince of peace. Isaiah 7:14 predicted He would be born of a virgin; Micah 5:2, that He would be born in Bethlehem. These were written hundreds of years before Jesus was born. Online selections from the La Mirada film Prophecies of the Passion explore many of these prophecies.

JESUS CHRIST IS THAT SAVIOR
Not only did Jesus fulfill dozens of prophecies about the coming Savior, He rose from the dead. This is the ultimate miraculous proof Jesus is the Son of God. The evidence is overwhelming that Christ is alive – the empty tomb, the martyrdom of the apostles, the number of eyewitnesses – and the skeptical theories all are fatally flawed. He lives! See these 9 episodes from the La Mirada film The Case for Christ for a good presentation of evidence that convinced a hardened atheist.

JESUS CHRIST CALLS YOU TO REPENT AND BELIEVE THE GOOD NEWS
The message of Jesus Christ is to repent of your sins and believe the gospel. The gospel is the good news that the Lord has come, has put away sin by the sacrifice of His Son Jesus, and has offered eternal life by faith in Him. God doesn’t want your good works or efforts. Your sins make you fall far short of His requirements. You need to be “born again” into the family of God, then God the Holy Spirit will dwell in you and lead you into a life pleasing to Him. He made it easy, so that even a child can do it: just repent, and entrust your life to the Lord Jesus Christ. You could do it right now. Pray something like this, meaning it sincerely:

“Lord Jesus, I know you are my Creator. I know I am a sinner, and I’m sorry for my sins. I now choose to turn from my sins to you. I believe that You died on the cross and rose again for me. You said you would come into my heart if I would open the door, so I invite you into my heart, to be first in my life. I believe you do come in, right now like you promised. Thank you for giving me eternal life. Now I belong to you! Help me to live for you in all I do. Amen.”

THE WALK OF FAITH
Christ followers begin a walk of faith. Faith is not a leap in the dark; it’s taking steps in the direction the evidence points. The walk of faith is a narrow trail (unlike the broad highway of sin), and it is difficult at times because of sin in the world. God’s word gives us a flashlight for the path. We must keep our eyes on Jesus, and trust Him even in the hard times. Read and study the Bible for guidance. Join a solid, Bible-teaching church that teaches creation and salvation by grace through faith in Christ (stay away from cults that pretend to do this). Be baptized and get involved. Find mature Christ followers who can help you stay on the right path, till we all join in celebrating the victory of Jesus in a great family reunion in heaven.

A LIFE OF SERVICE
Before we meet in heaven, what on earth are you doing for Christ’s sake? God gives every one of His followers gifts and talents to use for building up His family, the church. Find out what your gifts are and use them to serve the Lord and help others. You can be part of fulfilling Christ’s prayer, “Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”

From now on, your life will be an adventure of faith, walking with the Lord, with His Spirit dwelling within you to guide you. As missionary William Carey said (and proved true in his life), “Expect great things from God. Attempt great things for God.”
May God bless this to your hearts.
