Lady
Justice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Binging my favorite shows with cake
I slow down with some opiates
So I don't fear the end of days
Spitting out my tooth in Coca-Cola
Lick into the center of a hamburger
I'm trying to find the prize
It's eating me alive
It's my turn to fall apart
Keeping in step with disasters at my feet washed up copper God
Embarrassing
It's my turn to fall apart
Tea bagged by the pendulum swinging
I'm your thrown out lady liberty
Hitching up my dress for firefighters
Grab my ankles investment bankers
Middle of the street
Crown at my feet
Digging through trash for cans and bottles
Found a pretty penny with my old man on it
Lay him down on train tracks
And wipe his face clean
It's my turn to fall apart
Keeping in step with disasters at my feet washed up copper God
Embarrassing
It's my turn to fall apart
Sucker-punched by the pendulum swinging
I'm your thrown out lady liberty
Fill me with pudding
Lie through your teeth
Unbolt my belly to see underneath
I was blown kisses
Before I could speak
I might be froze




But you're colder than me
(America, save her)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Justice's song "Lady" depict a sense of desperation and decay, exploring themes of decay, despair, and loss of control. The imagery of binging on favorite shows with cake and then turning to opiates to numb the fear of impending doom suggests a coping mechanism rooted in escapism. The act of spitting out a tooth in Coca-Cola and licking the center of a hamburger conveys a sense of decay and disintegration, reflecting the singer's internal turmoil and self-destructive tendencies.


The mention of finding the prize that is "eating me alive" hints at a relentless pursuit of validation or fulfillment that ultimately leads to their downfall. The repetition of "keeping in step with disasters at my feet washed up copper God" suggests a resigned acceptance of chaos and misfortune, as well as a disillusionment with higher powers. The reference to being "Tea bagged by the pendulum swinging" evokes a sense of helplessness and victimization, as the singer feels tossed around by external forces beyond their control.


The singer's identity as the "thrown out lady liberty" symbolizes a loss of freedom and agency, as well as a sense of being discarded or abandoned by society. The imagery of interacting with firefighters and investment bankers suggests a juxtaposition of traditional symbols of heroism and financial power, highlighting the singer's vulnerability and exploitation. The act of digging through trash for cans and bottles, and finding a "pretty penny with my old man on it," reflects a sense of diminished value and connection to the past.


The final lines, "Fill me with pudding, lie through your teeth, unbolt my belly to see underneath," suggest a yearning for honesty and vulnerability beneath the facade of superficial pleasures. The mention of being "froze" and the comparison to someone colder suggests a sense of emotional numbness and detachment. The plea to "America, save her" adds a political undertone, calling for intervention or salvation from a larger societal context. Overall, the lyrics of "Lady" paint a poignant picture of personal struggle and societal decay, capturing the complexities of human experience and the search for meaning in a world fraught with disillusionment.

I LOVEDDDD this video, so informative. The video of the thief on the train was such a good visual of how someone can commit a small act of evil, but still have immense kindness in their heart, eye opening. Ive said it before, you just keep getting better and better and your video subjects are so on point with what is happening in the world right now.

Chasing Gods

Thanks so much for the feedback Couch Potatoe! I do love that subway video too.l, it speaks volumes! Always appreciate your view!

Dan O'Connell

Great content. Very well balanced. I would like to see this wisdom applied to recent actions seen in the news cycle. That was actually the point of the constitution that is currently, trying to be torn apart. Will lady justice prevail? Or will she be torn down with the rest of the statues?

tina

i absolutely loved this video!! my name is justina and it comes from the latin name "justitia" meaning 'fair, just, or justice". and i have always resonated with that. all i care about is human rights/equality/justice for humanity and all beings. i want to be an environmental justice/policymaker one day. and im also a libra so i am represented by scales. i am inspired by lady justice, and she is a part of me i believe. i really appreciate learning all about her + this concept in life. this video is very well-made and you have a wonderful way of teaching. the tone is very inspiring too. awesome stuff :) thank you.

Chasing Gods

Thank you Tina! I’m glad you found this video and that it inspired you!
I am sure you will be working in the field that you wish one day!
