Lilly White
Misstrip Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
is there a line?
if there is a nymph then she must be named lilly white
here in the background mush, in this room
is there a light?
if there is a nymph then i wanna see her no matter how
stop it now, now, now
shed your burden out and far
will you stay in longer, you homebird
face it, face it, face it face it now, face it how?
calm down the hate you store up
dischrge that spite inside of you
capture rare instants
don't you feel a presence, here in your hole
watching over you?
there in the darkness there in this hole
is there a line?
there in the darkness there in this hole
is there a line?
if there is a nymph then she must be named lilly white
here in the background mush, in this room
is there a light?
if there is a nymph then i wanna see her no matter how
stop it now, now, now
The lyrics to Misstrip's song "Lilly White" appear to be a reflection on feelings of isolation, confusion, and a desire for something more. The opening lines suggest being trapped in a metaphorical "hole" or darkness and wondering if there is a way out, represented by a possible "line." The line "if there is a nymph then she must be named lilly white" suggests that the singer may be searching for an idealized version of themselves or a better version of reality. The line "stop it now, now, now" indicates a frustration or urgency to break free from these feelings.
The next verse seems to address a reluctance or fear of confronting these thoughts head-on. The line "will you stay in longer, you homebird" suggests a desire to retreat and avoid facing the difficult questions. However, the repetition of "face it now, face it how?" implies that the singer knows deep down that they need to face these issues head-on. The idea of "calming down the hate you store up" suggests that these feelings of isolation and confusion may be fueled by anger or resentment.
The final verse repeats the opening lines, indicating that the singer is still wrestling with these feelings. The repetition of "stop it now, now, now" at the end suggests that while the struggle may continue, there is a growing sense of urgency to break free from this cycle of isolation and confusion.
