Death In The Candystore
Major Parkinson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love me, Love me, I am just a lonely boy
Give me soda pop and toys
Love me, love me, please, you little candy girl
Take those chocolates from the boys

Look it up

The side ... the children
And the way they join obsession in the moves

It's all about the nature
And it's everywhere in the time
Hey it's storin memo

Yes it kicks
Gives some candy for the tricks,
Yeah those kids always eat too fast
So they died for a bag or a multicolor drag.
Well they cryy

They say
Love me, Love me, I am just a lonely boy
Give me soda pop and toys
Love me, love me, please, you little candy girl
Take those chocolates from the boys

They say one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
The number is the worst, it's the devil of the game
And then
When you're baby seems like puppets on a string
You will know there is a catch
Cause you are joining in the ring
This is a ... melodramatic ...
It's the panic that kills
Haven't got enough
When it's time to close the store, they will always ask for more
But that is life

When you
Love me, Love me, I am just a lonely boy
Give me soda pop and toys
Love me, love me, please, you little candy girl
Take those chocolates from the boys

(They're eating, They're eating, They're eating way too fast. They're eating, They're eating)

And this is for the devil in the picture
That you couldn't believe
Where's the truth of the agony he couldn't achieve

So where's your daddy sleeping over?
What did he never tell?
Cause where's your mom'?
Where's the lover?
Where is nanny Estelle?
We started going for the pressure, Are they always to high?
Were you banned for the future?
Are you going to die?





Love me, Love me, I am just a lonely boy soda pop and toys
Love me, Love me, I am just a lonely boy soda pop and toys

Overall Meaning

The song "Death In The Candystore" by Major Parkinson seems to be a commentary on the darker side of childhood, particularly in relation to the consumption of sugary treats. The opening lines "Love me, Love me, I am just a lonely boy / Give me soda pop and toys" set the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer expresses a desperate need for affection and material possessions. Throughout the song, there are references to "candy girls," "chocolates from the boys," and "multicolor drags," all of which seem to represent the fleeting pleasures of childhood that are ultimately devastating.


The lyrics also suggest that there is something inherently sinister about the way that children consume candy, as they "always eat too fast" and are "crying" because of it. In one of the more cryptic lines, the singer warns that "The number is the worst, it's the devil of the game," possibly referring to the addictive nature of both sugar and consumer culture. This idea of being trapped in a cycle of consumption is further reinforced in the lines "When it's time to close the store, they will always ask for more / But that is life."


Overall, "Death In The Candystore" seems to be a cautionary tale about the excesses of childhood, and the dangers of becoming too attached to material possessions.
