Mary Prankster was most definitely a band to see live. Typically at Baltimore and Washington D.C. shows (gigs close to Mary's hometown), the entire audience would be comprised of Mary fans, singing along to every song. Especially on songs like "Mercyfuck," "The World is Full of Bastards," and "Blue Skies Over Dundalk," it was hard to hear the vocals from Ms. Mary Prankster over the roar of the crowd. Performance only songs, such as "Art Fag Bastard" were also what made Mary performances truly special.

Mary Prankster was truly a "cult hero" and she is missed. She also rocked the last show ever at soundwaves with the afterglows, and thirteen over eight

Mary Prankster Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did you care, my darlin' ? do you now?
'Cause my whole heart's gone broken
And the whole world knows how
Did you care, my darlin' ? do you now?
Was it fair, my darlin' ? do you think?
Was it fair, my darlin' ? do you think?
'Cause if that's your last nerve
Was it fair, my darlin' ? do you think?
Well, I thought that the worst
Was behind me
But the loneliness knew
Where to find me
Got a prayer, my darlin' ? let it loose
Got a prayer, my darlin' ? let it loose
'Cause this bullet don't care
If you got an excuse
Got a prayer, my darlin' ? let it loose
Did you care, my darlin' ? do you now?
The lyrics of Mary Prankster's "Darlin'" speak of heartbreak and regret, as the singer's heart is broken and the world knows it. She questions her former lover's care for her, wondering if they cared then and if they care now that her heart is broken. These questions indicate a sense of mistrust and perhaps betrayal. The singer then ponders the fairness of the situation and threatens to make her current drink her last if her former lover pushed her to her last nerve.
The verse that follows indicates that the singer thought the worst was behind her, but loneliness found her anyway. The final verse speaks of a prayer, perhaps indicating a hope for solace or closure, but also warning that the bullet of heartbreak does not care for excuses. The repetition of the questions - "Did you care, my darlin'? do you now?" and "Was it fair, my darlin'? do you think?" - highlights the singer's confusion and hurt, as she seeks answers from her former lover.
Overall, the lyrics of "Darlin'" evoke a sense of desperation and pain, with the singer grappling with the aftermath of a broken heart and seeking some sort of closure or resolution.
