Lamb
Jaymay Lyrics

The song "Lamb" by Jaymay tells a peculiar story of a woman who is preparing for a special occasion. The opening lines, "The whole scene was swell, flowers on the sill," suggest that she is adorning her home with beautiful flowers, perhaps in anticipation of a guest. She then mentions she is dressed in a gown, suggesting that this is a formal occasion. However, things take a dark turn when the woman reveals that she is holding a frozen leg of lamb, which she intends to use for some unknown purpose. When questioned by someone (possibly a police officer or a visitor), she responds with the repeated question, "Who do you think you are?" This can be interpreted as her attempt to deflect the attention away from her suspicious behavior and also to assert her dominance in the situation.

The lyrics of "Lamb" are open to interpretation, but one possible reading is that it is a commentary on the masks people wear in social situations. The woman in the song is putting on a facade of being a gracious hostess, but beneath the surface, she has violent tendencies that she is struggling to hide. The frozen leg of lamb might represent the repressed anger or frustration she feels, which she is keeping hidden from others. The repeated refrain of "Who do you think you are?" might reflect her feelings of inadequacy or insecurity, which she is projecting onto others.
