RATS
Lovelorn Dolls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lying, you wanna feel the main queen now
Destroying no matter what no matter how
Smiling when everyone is crying
Cover me with insults darling
Please me with your certitudes
Think of me in your sad hours
Rats are out
Walking on your own mistakes
Waking up on a lonely day
Surfing on the illusion you are grand
Yelling at reality
Giving up your certainty
Living on the high hopes that you made
Starting to become everybody’s fool
Complaining, without compromise, for you it’s theory
Smashing until the end of the darkest nights
Hoping to be the biggest star
Cover me with insults darling
Please me with your certitudes
Think of me in your sad hours
Play your game
Rats are out
Smiling ... when everyone is crying ....
Walking on your own mistakes
Waking up on a lonely day
Surfing on the illusion you are grand
Yelling at reality
Giving up your certainty
Living on the high hopes that you made
The song "Rats" by Lovelorn Dolls is a powerful commentary on the destructive nature of ambition and the desire for power. The first verse describes the all-consuming desire to be at the top, to have the world at your feet, and the willingness to do whatever it takes to get there, even if it means destroying others. The second verse talks about the consequences of this unyielding drive for power, describing the isolation and loneliness that can come from lying, complaining, and giving up your certainty. The chorus repeats the phrase "rats are out," which could be interpreted as a metaphor for the dark and manipulative nature that arises when we become consumed by ambition.
The bridge provides a contrast, with a more positive tone describing the feeling of grandiosity that comes from the illusion of success. However, this is also shown to be a false and fleeting feeling, as it is built on the shaky foundation of lies and self-deception. The final verse returns to the destructive nature of ambition, referring to those who have become "everybody's fool" by relentlessly pursuing their dreams with no compromise. The song ends on a haunting note, with the repeated phrase "smiling...when everyone is crying," a reminder of the cost of unchecked ambition and the isolation that can come from the pursuit of power at all costs.
